felix hasn’t settled properly at Atleti and they need money. I reckon he could end up being our prime target if Haaland stays for another season

Felix wouldn’t be adding much to what we already have.

Now that one certainly reads like a briefing!

And a starting point for negotiations...

Certainly seems like a briefing.

It's not. It's a heads together over previously mentioned names.

Let me think 150m for Kane or 130m for Haaland!! Only way I’d say Kane is a goer is if Kane was 80m other than that I’d rather city buy Haaland for 130m

Then why have most ”itk” journalists reported the same thing at approximately the same time?

Even in that scenario, we would be making our money back with Haaland more easily.

This is just Paul Hirst

But Jack Gaughan and Martin Blackburn have said similar last night.

It's a pooled heads-together, known as covering each others' arses. Happens every day with the regional packs.

On this occasion, City won the title the night before and the desks naturally ask them what next to improve the team to freshen up the narrative.

They genuinely aren't ITK because City never brief really on transfer targets. These targets mentioned were already in the public domain.

At most, the club will not deny if a report is put on them to comment, usually a no comment is enough of a steer.

Thanks, journalism isn’t even close to what I work with so I don’t know these things.
