Just look at his track record. Probably one of the reasons he was head-hunted by the Athletic is his reliable info.
I’ve never heard of The Athletic or the journo in question. Why would someone within the club pass info to a niche website that the mainstream consumer is unaware of ? And as for his track record, a stopped clock is right twice a day.
 
It's already been dismissed that Sam Lee was talking bollocks. Tolmie said no such thing had happened.

Not a good way to start your new job with the Atlantic writing a bullshit article.
Oh, well if Tolmie said it it must be true then.

Sam Lee has been a reliable source for years; obviously he could have bad info on this but if we're being honest it really doesn't take much of a leap to think Sane would actually want to go to Germany considering that, you know, his representatives have been at best speaking to Bayern and at worst trying to engineer a move there for several months now.

Good point that actually.

They would have perhaps been concerned about looking like complete tools had they failed to sign Sané after all the bluster. (Largely because they are complete tools of course, but never mind).

But they now have an out, "Ah, we don't want him now anyway". Sané's hopefully minor knock could have proved to be quite useful when the dust settles.

But they will look bigger cûnts when Leroy plays next week (hopefully )
 
For ? If it’s to disseminate information then it’s not working cos nobody’s heard of them

I'm not sure why you are equating you not knowing Sam Lee or The Athletic, with no one knowing them.

While it's a newish model, The Athletic have recruited heavily, including Daniel Taylor, Ed Maylon, David Ornstein, Oliver Kay, Honigstein etc taking chief sports correspondents, editors, national & local journalists from BBC, Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Mail, Goal, Sun etc. Fair enough if this is the first time you have heard of them, but they have made quite a big splash
 
Leroy Sané still has fluid in his knee which delayed a precise diagnosis and made it difficult. Bayern’s team doctor, Peter Ueblacker, was spotted explaining the injury to Hasan Salihamidžić yesterday. There are fears the deal might still collapse. [@SPORTBILD via @iMiaSanMia]

What's it to them, we ask.
