    But why would he miss out all the ones that say its not close unless he thinks it is?

    At the very worst he's been incredibly clumsy with this article.

    He doesn't have to reference them all individually. All he'd have to say is that "some reports say its not as advanced". Would be an easy tag on to any of those sentences.

    exactly, they've chosen to report on the ones that say it is close and the mirror this morning

    saying "is understood to be close" would make zero sense to add too, unless he is being clumsy

    He would've tweeted it if it was a story. Think he's clumsily reporting on other reports there.

    Not saying that this ISN’T close; but that reads like a compendium article to me. Additionally Copley is generally online page filler - apart from his stuff on youth teams. If this was genuine direct info I’d expect it to come from Phil Smith.

    We don’t need him to reiterate old reports.

    Pretty irresponsible to pick and choose which of the reports on a subject to report on and not even reference the other ones.

    Gutter journalism and my already low respect for him has dropped.

    Just not journalism at all. New media aggregation at best. Professional retweeting at worst.
