Few examples what Schira has reported:
- Willian to Arsenal, first report on 27th of July
- Jonathan David to Lille, told negotiations on going 16th of July, done 11th of August
- Allan to Everton negotiations going on, reported already 2nd of June (this is not done but reported elsewhere too that the negotiations are going on)
- Aubameyong contract extension, all agreed, reported this on 6th of August. Let's see if they end up signing that contract.
Few done deals or confirmed negotiations.
We need to always remember, reporting a rumor does not mean a reporter is telling that transfer is going to happen. They are reporting what they hear/get to know. So their sources is the only important thing they have.
To me Schira seems to have good sources generally.
