I always love the idea of transfer season, and the uncertainty and excitement of it. But it's such a hassle to actually sift through all these sources and a sea of bullshit articles. Most of them are so bad it's not even funny.

Case in point, Football Express:

Arsenal are also looking forward to signing Hugo Ekitike in the summer transfer window. It is also said that Arsenal are now out of the race to sign Hugo Ekitike.

Holy shit, which is it? Hedging your bets or sharing directly conflicting takes like that without clear context just makes you look bad!

And don't get me started on the clickbait headlines and the 'Arsenal legend says club will sign...' Usually it's someone like William Gallas (who is nowhere near to bring an Arsenal legend!) saying we should sign someone. And that someone is usually someone who is completely unavailable it astronomically priced.
