let's analyze @93.20blue's history.

Rodri - Said done on july 1 or 2nd - deal was announced on the 3rd - accurate.
Koulibaly (2019) - Said city are not interested.
Cancelo - At first, said won't happen UNLESS city sell danilo first - which was the case.
Cancelo 2 - On august 2nd, said cancelo was having his medical on august 6th. Cancelo was announced august 7th. accurate.
Angelino - Said on july 3rd that he's currently at the etihad signing the contract. he was announced july 3rd. accurate.
Sane (2019) - Said he was staying. He did in fact stay that season, though he was injured in the community shield 3 days before that post. Accurate
Laporte injury (2019) - Said he was out for 4 to 5 months. He ended up being out for 4 months. accurate.
Sancho (2020) - Said he's off to chelsea. inaccurate, but not city related.
Aouar & Almada - Said two players whose names start with A will be joining in the summer, after prodding it was clear he meant Almada and Aouar. didn't happen. Inaccurate (though other outlets announced almada was done a while later - I think it didn't end up happening for different reasons)
Pep & CAS court - Said pep will sign a new contract after we'll win the upcoming cas court. Semi accurate - we won the cas court and pep renewed - but he renewed in november.
Dias & Koulibaly - Said on JUNE 24th (!!!) that city are going to spend big on a CB but he thinks dias is first choice. massively and impressively accurate as no one even mentioned dias at this point.
Ake & torres - Said on july 27th that they will both sign next week - and they both did. accurate.
Koulibaly 2 - Said on july 27th napoli are playing hardball and he expects us to go for someone else. accurate.
Aouar - Said on july 27th he was informed this is done but is being kept quiet. Inaccurate.
Harry kane - Said in summer of 2020 that we're working on a deal for kane. Several journalists in the year since have confirmed we were working on kane but diverted our attention to messi, so I denote this as accurate.
Koulibaly 3 - Said he was informed koulibaly was done, but is being delayed because of messi. inaccurate
Kounde - Says the club moved away from koulibaly and expects the kounde deal to happen, otamendi to be gone. inaccurate with regards to kounde, but didn't say it was done.
Grealish - "Keep your eye on grealish" in september 2020. who knows if we were actually in for him back then! but i will still denote this as accurate :)
Grealish 2 - Says fee agreed at 82m + add ons in july 16th. Perhaps that was the case, we won't know. i'll denote this as somewhat accurate.
Kane - Said kane deal was off on august 23rd. Kane confirms he was staying on august 25th. Accurate.
Ronaldo - Said on friday morning united are hijacking the deal. Extremely and impressively accurate.

That's all I got. To me, this seems very accurate overall, with a few blips that can mostly be attributed to the everchanging nature of football transfers, that can be on and off in the blink of an eye. I see no reason to doubt him for the most part.

I don’t mind @93.20blue, and am happy to give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s posting in good faith. That’s a fairly selective history you’ve posted there though.

tell me what I missed and i'll gladly edit. I went through what I saw, but i could have missed some. his biggest blunders were koulibaly and aouar and I did mention them.

Im just gonna say it. There is no way we have a done deal for Haaland for january.

@93.20blue I always appreciate the fact that you give your info directly. Even of it turns out wrong there is no denying that your contacts knows stuff and that you post in good faith. Think it would be better for everyone if it were possible for you to name the player and whether you think its done or not

Absolutely. Not a chance anyone gets a deal in place for Haaland before the clause becomes active, would be a crazy decision on his agents part, and we all know who his agent is.

people need to stop getting so excited over a forward , the clubs focus is now on a new left back

because it has not been confirmed as accurate or inaccurate, I only included those that could be verified or disproven..

He said he thought Pep was leaving at the end of 19/20

All I could find is this, which he specifically said that's his gut feeling based on his facial expressions. Doesn't claim to have heard this from any source, so that's harsh to include it as "inaccurate" if you ask me.

He's letting everyone believe that we are in for Haaland yet if we are to believe him, we have a deal done for a left back in January. I'm not saying he's wrong by the way. But if we're going to believe him we can't just believe what we want to hear.

"people need to stop getting so excited over a forward , the clubs focus is now on a new left back"

"expect 1 big big firework in January ! The deal is done for January the only reason we haven’t signed him this window is because we will get him a lot cheaper then"

I don’t really want to instigate a witch hunt, people can read through his posts and make up their own minds. He’s certainly called a few things right, others less so but he’s not alone on that. Can happen to the best of us.

Grealish had a buyout of 100 million straight which was even explained on video by Villa. 82 million plus add ons suggests a negotiation.

This aside the Haaland to us in January doesn’t make sense in that before any agreement is made there is likely to be a bidding war which hasn’t even started yet.

Sorry just not going for this. The pursuit of Kane would make zero sense if Haaland was lined up…what if this “cheeky bid” had been accepted? City say we were just having a laugh? Whats the point of the bid in the first place?

Story has so many holes it’s silly.
