    Interestingly there is high confidence on the city side that grealish is coming, however the villa types are absolutely sure the club won't sell.

    Odengaard is now going back to arsenal apparently.

    Neil Jones (LFC correspondent for Goal) says he doesn't see the Saul deal happening. Wage demands are an issue.

    Gambling on logic or has he been given a nod somewhere?

    Imo 95% of these things are agent based. Driving the clickbait in collusion with these sites.

    Agents have gone into over drive this summer, what with clubs having less money to spend and being tighter on wages. So players need the agents to whip up interest and convince clubs to bid for their clients, usually by stirring up 'interest' from other clubs.

    But why would journalists or online types be so insistent in linking him everywhere unless they have been paid to?

    Why would his agent start a rumour that his client is asking for too much money?

    So my initial comment was about the lfc guy saying the club were not bidding and I asked did he get a nod somewhere.

    The comment about the agent stuff is in response to the point about Spanish journalist driving the story.

    Imo there's two sides to every story and two lines to drive the click bait.

    The Saul camp want to make him a hot property being talked about

    This lfc reporting gut might be gambling there is no bid and it makes him look itk

    I see sky are now reporting the itk stuff about city talking to villa on grealish but it seems they want to hedge the bets by reiterating villa dont want to sell.

    Grealish being an idiot signed a long term deal so has cut himself off here imo.

    Villa will sell him if he wants to go. They’ve offered him a new deal to try persuade him to stay so he either signs a new deal there or he goes imo

    I can remember a time when transfer stories were a big deal and saved up for the sunday papers where you'd go out and buy a few for the big scoops that they'd publish.

    Now its just 24/7 click bait from no marks trying to look ITK

    the athletic thing tried to do the sports journalism stuff but imo they have missed the point. young people are not interested in reading behind a pay wall. They need to do vlogs and interviews and make real content. As a result they are just like another rumour mill.

    we all remember how guillem ballbag did his best to portray himself as they source for news and loved being on tv but these guys have all been overtaken by an avalanche of fake news.

    You cannot look a trusted confidant and also be hawking the story really.

    Even if Paul Pogba wants to come to Liverpool and Liverpool also wants him, Sir Alex Ferguson will go against him. Can remember the transfer of that defender that Fergie went against. Will Paul Pogba likes to play for Liverpool? I sincerely doubt it.

    I assume they're trying to steal a living from it.
    When we only had newspapers there was limited space and so only plausible stuff made it through. There might have been a few lines given over to some of the stronger rumours but little more. Everything was looked over by the editorial staff.
    By contrast, there is almost unlimited space available now and it's full of chancers pretending to be journalists.
    Their writing style and grammar is often poor, and what editorial control there is is probably all done by bots, and is rudimentary. Nobody has to justify their fairy tales, and of course there is no comeback for peddling completely inaccurate information.
    Lazy writers make stuff up, even lazier ones repeat it, and suddenly a gullible public is convinced it's true because it's "all over the internet".
    Of course this isn't confined to harmless things like sport - the same process helps to propagate completely baseless conspiracy theories - and then it's a much more sinister animal.
