The guy clearly doesn't understand the human mind, and consequently how to trick the mind into believing.
If I were him, I'd at least post a faux-link to Wolfsburg's website,
or provide nonexistent quotes. If so, I'd have tons of folks jumping on the bandwagon, perhaps even Football Italia.
Trust me, I have experience with this here.
To me, it seems like the dude mounted a journalistic "preemptive attack," taking the bet that the Diego move would be confirmed within the next few days. Perhaps he's trying to establish himself as someone "in the know".
