I like him. Largely accurate and covers everything. His constant updates that some complain about are actually welcome, because it dispels a lot of other noise you year from other garbage sites and journalists.

Kind of amazing the status he's achieved though, 15m followers for a transfer news guy.

He's just a handy one stop shop for transfer news.

If you’re going to Twitter not to be annoyed you’re fighting a losing battle

As it stands Here We Go guy is pretty useful and more accurate than the rest of them for the most part. He’s also pushed out the wannabe ITK accounts that spawn every summer

KingslandBarge

I think it's clearer as time goes on that he is refining how to commoditise his account and his word. It may reach a level where the authenticity evaporates, with clubs, agents and players exercising his service for cheap influence. I am happy for him; seems decent and self-made in an otherwise tough gig. Only gripe is when he felt Vlahovic should choose Spurs over Arsenal because Conte could develop him into a WC player. Felt like a bit of shade. Things since have not panned out for Juventus, Spurs, Conte and Vlahovic.

QuincyAbeyie Sic needs to establish a brand/identity.

He should sign off every tweet with something like “There we aaare” every time he confirms a deal

Don’t shoot the messenger.

My source’s source is a British actor (was in top boy) that goes on holidays with Nelson.

Don’t forget Nelson rejected the first 3 contracts so it was down to negotiations.

Sorry mate but you’ve failed the eye test.

JazzG

We need to mark Sicario2 as Tier 3 going forward 😉

What a pointless tweet, reckon this guy must be on kickbacks for number of likes or RTs his posts achieve.

JazzG it is one thing he does that irks other journos. he incesseantly engagement farms with updates covering known info, so it 'seems' like he's at the forefront of every story. when the transfer is actually broken by someone , your memory gaslights you into thinking fab had the exclusive all along

JazzG

Intention to insist…..

Qwiss I saw something on Reddit yesterday that the issue isn't the Kroenke's but that we have a board meeting once a week and that can delay things.

Gazza M There are rumours about him having some link up with Chelsea and they have used him in the past to try to manipulate the market.

Who would leak that big of info? Can't imagine Edu being dumb enough to brief against Josh.

Qwiss
is this the kind of stupidity he's infecting the arsenal podcast listener base with? i didn't know he was this dumb to tell you the truth.

TambourineMan

That'll be the same for any serious club. I don't think they're DoF's out there authorising £100m signings without board approval.

JazzG I saw something on Reddit yesterday that the issue isn't the Kroenke's but that we have a board meeting once a week and that can delay things.

Calling bullshit on that one. £10m+ time sensitive deals can only be reviewed and processed once a week? By the time the contracts are signed and sealed, it shouldn't be a surprise to the board and Josh could probably DocuSign it. And what would happen during transfer deadline day?

Qwiss

goon assume it's coming from the other side of negotiations.

Coombs

Wait, a thread on a tap-in merchant that isn't an up-and-coming young Italian striker? What is this doing on our forum? 😭

Sicario2 - Tier 1

He’s built a nice following and definitely got good connections but he is not a journalist and that is why someone like Ornstein will be much more credible.

I’m confident he is paid by clubs as well such as Chelsea.

He might be good for fans who are desperate for transfer news but he’s not good for football.
