The officials in this whole transfer circus are the journalists and they are making a complete mess of it, one outlet says one thing, another outlet says the opposite, then suddenly there is a translated version of a report and everyone is arguing over who said what first, it is exhausting because the clubs end up looking like they are playing along when really half the time they probably have no intention of doing anything and the papers are just filling columns, this is why people do not trust transfer reporting anymore and honestly they shouldnt because it is constant contradiction after contradiction and then when it all blows up they act shocked as if they were not the ones pushing it out in the first place
