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.

Yeah, it's the football and social media version of fortune-telling, basically. Grifting on fools and losers.

The point is how do you know its “legit info” and not just sth they’ve pulled out their backside to monetise?

Ornstein has a very very very long track record that tells us he’s not bullshitting. The others have nothing. To me just seems like they all pull loads of names out of a hat and it just becomes a numbers game, some of them will be get a hit just by chance.

It’s so so easy to speculate as well. If you know Arteta and Arsenal, and the types of players they like, its pretty easy to determine what players they’ll be looking at.

TNAT put out a list of CM targets earlier in the summer (no credible journos linked us to any of them) that were at best educated guesses, whilst charging people for said “information”.

He gets stuff right, you say it’s not right, really bizarre. Just make up what you want.
