You don’t have too. WBA fans do.
I'd be amazed if it wasn't an undisclosed fee and grammar boy will know as much as any other twitter nonce desperately trying to pretend they are in the know.

Ultimately it doesn't matter. It should be a private transaction anyway. In what other business do people jump over themselves to know how much one business has paid another for an asset?

Stockbroker? Estate agent? Used car dealer? Anything market dependent?
 
So can I still watch the games on a VPN if I can't go? Or is that no longer possible?

I should imagine you will still be able to watch with a VPN. If they wanted to stop it they would only accept payments from overseas banks . But I don’t think the clubs will be bothered about overseeing that,
Mind you, with so many games on SKY there will be plenty of dodgy streams for those who won’t give their money to the club,

You seem to have a problem with someone that genuinely has insider information. Just move on, WBA fans trust him, I guess that’s a decent indicator on whether his information is valid or not.

Ultimately, people probably have a bias (unconscious or otherwise) towards whichever source gives them bragging rights in a situation like this. WBA fans will side with their guy because he makes it seem like they've got a good deal and got one over on another team. Some of ours will favour Barry Cooper's because it makes us seem like we've nicked him for a lower fee. They can then continue to argue/banter with opposing fans for the next few days (or all season in some cases). This is how social media works. The real fee, as said already, will be undisclosed as with most. And repeat...

Same old charade folk get sucked into every time.
