Transfer windows are a disgusting farce now, people don't report actual news they just publish what they want to see happen and then tie up links ranging from loose to fantasy into a story. It's a constant oneupmanship orgy of toilet paper tabloids whose transfer rumour sections are fabricated by some spotty nerd, competing against some even spottier teenage nerd on his 'ITK' Twitter account to bring 'DA REALIST BREAKING NEWZ' to their mob of followers.
In the end it doesn't matter what is really happening, and most of the time it is absolutely nothing, they all have to make a living. It's just much worse now because people aren't sated by the general day to day movement of the window, they have to believe that their club is signing the next big player and have people tell them how attractive their club is and how players want to join them and their quest for global domination (in this case, the FA Cup).
