Alright this is his make or break “scoop” no more flip flopping for him lol

if he is thinking Summer 2024. Then it’s after playing copa America and right into citi field/ yankee stadium lol.
Why not? This sort of scoop will automatically make everyone forget his 2023 scoops that were made up out of thin air. ;)
 
I know y'all have your issues with this poster, but from my ignorant view I'll just point out that this seems more direct than some other posts of his. (E.g., "Something is gonna happen next week. [winky emoji]") What strikes me is that if this is true it basically means all of our wild ass speculation has a full year of just sitting around doing nothing. Where's the fun in that?

On August 3 he wrote Maxi Moralez done deal.

Five days later and no announcement. Maybe it happens; maybe it's all but done. But if it were done 5 days ago I think someone else would have reported it at least.

My current theory is he has a source, but not a good one.
ETA LOL Maxi announced an hour later but still 5 days is long for something supposedly done

it was reported on the argentina side with local racing insiders. although Clmerlo reported before the "source" did. Merlo is like the fabrizio of latam so there was good optimism to be had if he reported it.

I have goofed on him a bit, but I have come to a similar conclusion that he does have a less than rock solid contact or two he uses to mostly confirm information but also provide occasional tips. I also think he is now able to use his (or her) “platform” to reach out and get some responses to his inquires.

It was reported as a done deal days earlier by reputable sources.

From August 1:


Edit: saw people have pointed this out.
 
A few weeks ago, I point blank asked Lee if the Neymar rumors were crazy or ridiclously crazy. He said ridicoulous crazy. Watch this spiral into Lampard-gate 2.0 to the 100th degree.

It does make sense -- guys are going to want to play with and against Messi. Neymar can't stay on the field, but it would be so cool to have him here. It might not work on the field, but it would be incredible the chances we get to watch him cook.

FWIW, he is suggesting that he would be loaned to play in the Brazilian league and then come to us in Feb. I believe the Brazilian league runs through December-ish so the timing at least makes sense. Not sure if the other logistics do or don’t make sense.
