Yeah, it's the football and social media version of fortune-telling, basically. Grifting on fools and losers.That'll always justify anything they say though. Think of how easy it is to fake info, this is the playbook:
Option 1:
a) pick a reasonable target in a position of need
b) say something vague and reversable about them like we're 'monitoring'/'considering a move'/etc.
c) stick to it because news that we are not monitoring someone is rarely confirmed
Option 2:
a) parrot what a journalist says, making it sound like you're in the loop
Option 3:
a) pick a vague descriptor (ie mystery German) that could be hundreds of players and put it out
b) when a player is inevitably linked that fits description, say it's them
c) if b doesn't happen, make one up that sounds most reasonable or say sources are keeping it on the down low
It's that easy, and the motive is obvious: they want to build a following and gain attention. Even profit off it.
Notice how they rarely break stories with strong, specific information. Their reported 'big moves' constantly happen not to pan out and go unconfirmed by Ornstein/Romano. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, they just throw a lot of **** at the wall and hope something sticks. The misses become 'moves the club stopped pursuing' and the very few, lucky hits become their credibility.
