As part of our coverage of the Transfer Window, Coming Home Newcastle have decided to highlight a Rumor of the Day. We'll start today, and as the title suggests, the rumor today involves Benjamin Corgnet. We'll discuss his career path and stats after the jump. I've decided to stop here because the previous "Newcastle United have tabled a bid" rumor was in fact for a player that doesn't exist... so we'll try to avoid imaginary players in our Rumor of the Day. Alright-- let's check out the story that is bringing Benjamin Corgnet to our attention:
