I would say that is because there is a lack of websites doing transfer news now. Ya, you have the usual papers like TOI or NBTV doing reports on so and so officially signing for this club or goal.com doing the same but you used to have TheHardTackle do their "Transfer Rumors for 15 June 2012" or something like that. KickOffIndia did something like that as well for a bit.
Now we don't get that and those websites used to cover all the I-League teams and even some significant 2nd Division/State League teams. Now they are gone and we have a bunch of new users citing numerous rumors about whatever foreign player is linked to Mohun Bagan and occasionally East Bengal.
citing rumours na.. just repeating what is shown in various sports show on television such as Sports24, xtra time, stadium etc. While THT and KickoffIndia guys are now busy with their jobs and hardly have time for their passion.
All those old members cribbing about how this thread is now being used by new members, please shed the complex. Realize that this is a forum open to all the Indian Football fans not any select group. The title of this thread itself allows rumors and gossips related to transfer so I am unable to understand what you all are cribbing about. The nature of transfer deals in India is such that there are no final transfers until the season begins. There have been instances when even after signing a deal the players or clubs have renegaded. So it is utter foolishnessbto call any transfer related information as baseless etc. If you like what is going on then enjoy, if you are irritated, there are many other threads for you. Cheers!
I dont mind the new guys and what they post, its entertaining and is something we're all used to from European silly-season. Fun for debates and discussion to. I just found it funny how they come out now and not during the season... not because that is wrong but just random.

Now it has become crap

Absolutely correct you are.
Good to see somebody telling exactly what's to be told.
