The thing is, the big in the knows here i don't doubt they know people within either City or the football world. However of course they will get things wrong, they only give you info that they have heard from within the football circle. Not all info is always 100% it's actually very rare to get. I have known people within clubs get things 'wrong' on things they have told me but when you look at the bigger picture was it wrong? The info was probably correct however for many reasons that sed deal didn't happen. They are just whispers from within the football world.
