Be quiet, you chocolate frogLevy will not replace
Fredo - Tier 2.5-3
Could you repeat that, I was grating my testicle?Since it's gotten a lot of attention I thought I'd explain for those unfamiliar, the whole "tier" system derives from Reddit, where the football forum has over 1.2 million members representing probably every single club on the planet. The whole idea is that judging the credibility of any given journalist involves far too many variables for any one person to have a grasp of, so crowdsourcing it on a club-by-club basis is the best way to get a handle on it.
At Spurs, for instance, most people who follow recruitment closely would be able to tell you that Dan KP was absolutely 100% spot on in the summer transfer window and should be considered highly credible, whereas your average supporter of any other club wouldn't have the slightest clue about Dan KP in particular. The same dynamic is true for just about every club and the journalists covering it. Supporters know who is and is not worth listening to, and share that with the wider football community by labeling them with a tier ranking for their reporting on any given club. There's one reporter, Pedulla I think it is, who is considered Tier 1 for anything involving Sarri but considered far less credible for any other club. Followers of Sarri's clubs would know that, others would not. That's the kind of information the system exists to convey.
So one random bloke on Twitter unilaterally assigning tiers to reporters is worse than useless, it actively undermines the entire purpose of the idea, which is that crowdsourcing is necessary.
Making Lo Celso permanent is Eriksen's replacement.
You didn't think we were gonna go out and get a whole new player, did you...
Well we were told all summer that Lo Celso wasn't a replacement for Eriksen and we will get an additional player and quite frankly I believe everything I read on the internet and will go into a blind rage should I found out that isn't true.
The problem with this is how can we actually be sure if a journalist had made up bullshit? Just because a club didn't sign a player it doesn't necessarily mean the report was BS. I'd imagine a lot of deals are close but don't end up happening for whatever reason. There's also a big difference between a journalist saying 'Spurs are interested in X' than saying 'Spurs are about to sign X' if you see what I mean.Since it's gotten a lot of attention I thought I'd explain for those unfamiliar, the whole "tier" system derives from Reddit, where the football forum has over 1.2 million members representing probably every single club on the planet.

I think he owes us a winning goal to send him on his way.
Yeah that's unlikely as he can't beat the first man.Well he's already started passing the ball to Italy so I think a goal is unlikely.
The idea is that supporters of specific clubs come to understand which reporters are reliable when discussing their club, and then share that information with others. It’s not some hard-and-fast guarantee that literally everything reported by a so-called “Tier 1” journo will come off or that anything reported by a low-tier journalist is necessarily false.The problem with this is how can we actually be sure if a journalist had made up bullshit?
