    And also - he doesn’t tend to tweet about done deals until they actually are. It’s all part of how he created the reputation he had

    I don’t think he ever pretended that he didn’t get stuff from other sources. It is just i imagine loads of teenage football fans on Twitter don’t even bother to even think about scratching beneath the service and are fully prepared to buy into someone being omniscient

    Fabrizio is no Tancredi Palmeri, that’s for sure.

    He clearly has a lot of good sources. He's called virtually all of our signings right this summer, before they've happened and before others have broken the news.

    You say he only tweets about done deals, but at least he's not reporting every single false rumour he gets, usually from agents talking rubbish, like TalkSPORT, Sky, tabloids etc.

    Also, he's not even got the Gakpo news wrong? <laugh>

    Even the most reliable journalists can put out news that is originally correct, but turns out not to happen, because things change a lot with transfers (see Blackmore last night).

    Viva Romano!

    We're announcing all seven signings together, on a plane in Eindhoven.

    Oh, don't be. I'm pretty sure the Arsenal legal/admin team are the most cautious/slow (delete according to how generous you are feeling) in the PL.

    I've spent many a window waiting... and waiting... and waiting... for them to confirm a deal is done.

    Have I missed it or have they not done an interview with AMN?
