Imagine my shock. It’s so obvious that the club has Watson in their pocket. |  |

Phil has removed the line of ‘we understand there to be something in this’ in the Palacios story though… |  | | |

If we just get Embolo I'd be happy. | | | |

Pretty sure Fabrizio posted we had bid on Palacios 1st time round and nothing was said and turned out we had bid. Maybe he has a good source on this player or Leverkusen.
Ben Jacobs seemed to be running on Embolo stories like the one on 14th about Embolo to Atlanta so waiting to see if he has an update on this player | | | |

Phil says there is something in it. That should keep us all warm for now |  |

I mean, he clearly does. He get's a steer from the club itself.
Now the club may be using him to dampen/quieten speculation sometimes but clearly he's not pulling definfo/itk from his backside | | | |

He simply knows the line he is told from the club to suit whatever narrative/story they want put out at any point in time. The EADT is a pointless source of ITFC 'news' these days. MA might as well write the articles himself. [Post edited 18 Aug 10:50]

There was a line which says TWTD understand there’s something in the reported offer. It’s not there anymore | | | |

He's a mouthpiece |
I think he has limited informal contacts within the club these days, particularly on transfers, but his piece on FarageGate and how he wrote about that suggests to me he's not a mouthpiece. He definitely didn't pull any punches there.
For me there's a big difference between relying on limited information and just doing what you are told. | |

And he has a very fine line to tread. He obviously wants to maintain the Papers independence to report stories but he doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him, particularly if that may ultimately be detrimental to the club's best interests | |

I don't really believe this, if all he did was continually put out what the club wanted people to hear and in 24-48 hours the exact opposite happened then a couple of things would happen.
Either he'd lose his credibility as a journo as people no longer trusted him or he'd stop reporting what he was told as it would make him look bad.
In this case he's pretty clear - Embolo was one of a number of strikers we have looked at, but no contact in recent days. And that no new bid has gone in for Palacios. | | | |
