    Default Which is the most trustworthy site about transfers?

    Τhere are lot of sites that transporting unreliable news. In case of transfers this problem becomes bigger. In England this habit is redicilous and breaks the readers nerves. I ve really fed up this situation and I really begging you tell me a reliable site about transfer movement

    Simply there is none. I get my transfer movment news through reliable people not web sites - unless it is the official club website of course.

    Well, ESPN are pretty accurate otherwise I just read what people on the forum think.

    "Just because I don't watch La Liga, it doesn't mean I don't know who the players are."
    Someone questions whether Guillem Laporta is a good player.
    "I don't know him.... He'll be another crap player. "

    - VivaUnited

    Only the press releases by the clubs announcing completed transfers are consistently reliable. But all the rumors and lies are entertaining.

    What Phil said above. Rumors are mostly gossip anyway and something to chat about in the summer.
    Having said that one should avoid goal.garbage or similar crappy sources altogether.

    Why the hate for *********? I always just thought it was a collection of all the latest gossip and stuff and thrown into one place? Obviously you can't think of anything on there as true unless it says officially announced or whatever but to me goal does exactly what is needed of it.

    Aside from the malware so often attached to the site, goal has a habit of mistranslation, skewing things to a degree that would make even the editor of the Sun blush, and just plain making things up. goal and tribalfootball are pretty much worthless.

    Some other sites tend to be more reliable than others - but nobody is really accurate aside from club websites making official announcements and league websites that list the transfers once the window is open.

    Just take it that until a player is unveiled at a press conference by his new club, then its all just rumour and nothing guaranteed

    1. The article are written by people who don't know how to write.
    2. None of their 'analysts' know jack shit about football.
    3. They have no dignity, they make up a headline rumor about x player going to y club, then 24 hours they say player x is now going to z club and so forth....

    They are just utterly annoying, its a shame that they hold such a convenient domain name. Anyways the best thing with rumors is to wait for official club statements, or just read what the player said, for example modric just confessed that he would like to join Chelsea, since it came out of his own mouth then we can say that is a somewhat reliable "rumor".

    Depends on whether they quoted it correctly or did yet another of their epic mistranslations to suit their own views. They did the same for Silva, where they just quoted one minute part about Barcelona (from an entire interview) and made it seem like he is demanding a move to Barcelona. The idiots actually came up with a BS article about he is angling for a pay rise, when he just signed a new contract with better pay only last month...
