Who does? It's true though, journos have to justify their existence so come up with any angle they can think of, with no regard for the truth or even plausibility half the time. It's always been this way, but it's made worse by the overwhelming weight of "news" on social media etc these days. As you say, cover every angle then one of them may be right eventually, then say "told you so" and foster an itk rep. It's all bollocks.

True. But my reply to dribs was arsenal won't let him go for free. This all sounds bollocks to me anyway and I would not be surprised to see he has signed a new contract soon with arsenal. Journos just using us to get headlines and keep the coutinho story going.
Guillem Ballbag making it up as he goes along, guessing, pulling transfer fees out of the air etc. Yet Sky Sports give him oxygen and post his bullshit on their site, it's so ****ing obvious he steals most of what he says from this thread.
Crystal Ballbag. "They haven't necessarily put a price on Coutinho, but they are thinking: 'How about if we sold him now?' Or, 'how about agreeing a departure in the summer'. "All of the possibilities are on the table, but perhaps the most unlikely one is Coutinho renewing his Liverpool contract. "That is different from Liverpool's stance in the summer. Liverpool cannot say anything yet because a new offer has not arrived, it is being prepared. It will arrive."
