By Sir Hardly Anyone
There is a fabulous example of the insanity that journalists expect you to believe. Localetti who is a midfielder. The Express told us that the player would decide where to go after the Euros, and the asking price was £34m asked. Now according to Football 365 Arsenal have offered £69m.
Of course I am sure each “source” would say they were just repeating what someone else said. As for whether arsenal actually want him or not, who knows!
