    I'd trust twitter more than goal.com ANY day of the week

    At least people on twitter don't expect you to believe what they say

    Goal.com is often worse than The Sun. At least The Sun occasionally has indsider info that turns out to be correct. Goal.com know fuck all about anything. In fact I think posting links to goal.com should be a bannable offense

    Doesn't Goal.com just rehash stories and quotes from other sources anyway?

    Yup. That's all they do. Saves me a lot of time and hassle as I don't have to go to different sites to pick up news when its right there on Goal.

    Twitter and its gullible loser followers

    Nah, quite easy separating the wheat from the chaff if you have a brain. Half of the twitter shite makes its way on to goal.com anyway. What annoys me about goal.com the most however are:
    1) goal.com reports - editorial style rumours with no foundation either stating the obvious of making shit up and seeing what sticks
    2) 2+2=22 using old quotes and unconnected events with no real reporting to drive page clicks and banner advertising. Lots of sites are guilty of this, goal.com is the worst.

    Guardian has the best transfer rumour success ratio because they actually do reporting, otherwise your just as much of a mug believing twitter is worse than any of the Indian sweatshop writer farms such as givemefootball and goal.com, whos job it is incidentally, to make money off spreading crap.

    Not that Im surprised by this at all, typical AW transfer season.
    Who would you want us to sign?

    Seriously who gives a fuck? Majority of paper rumours are BS. 10 months on and people are still obsessed with where a story comes from rather than the story itself.

    If its Arsenal/football related and you think its worth posting then post it whether its from twitter, goal, independant , your uncles neighbours college roommate etc

    Back on topic, Mancs are after Modric now

    Modric would be perfect for them, their CM is severely lacking in ability and flair.

    Nah you're implying there's no way of reading the media to work out what really is and isn't concrete

    Their fans have been after Modric for a while. Remember when we didn't buy him cause we had "too many midfielders"?
