A very subjective look into AWFC

This whole Alessia Russo transfer situation has been very interesting on many fronts and in my opinion not necessarily for good reasons. I’m not talking about her transfer in literal terms, there’s nothing uninteresting about that at all, it’s massive in every which way. What I’m talking about though, is what awfc and woso twitter had become recently and specially this notion that people had about having some sort of inside info… Where to being with this?

Everyone claimed to know what was happening and when. I find it extremely funny and silly that people were going on about this transfer as if it wasn’t the most well know, worst kept secret… EVERYBODY KNEW SHE WAS SIGNING right? I mean, we almost got her in December and it was a thing that most people knew. For the record I’m not actually saying that I personally knew for a fact, my point is that it would’ve been more of a surprise if she didn’t sign. I was totally convinced it was only a matter of time.

Some people were tweeting about it as if it was a long shot, or a crazy idea that they championed above other people… and sorry but nope. You didn’t come up with this theory, it was a well known thing. A lot of people are taking what some personalities adjacent to the club say and not only do they believe it, which I don’t blame them for, but they behave as if the person they got the info from doesn’t have a massive following on social media. It’s madness.

It is very possible that people have inside info… I have known about Declan Rice for months, but that doesn’t mean that my info was correct… I just had a very reliable source and it just so happened to become a reality. But imagine how silly I would’ve sounded if I said something like: I’m hearing some rumors about Declan Rice to Arsenal…etc” Yeah… no shit!!!! That’s been a thing for MONTHS. I understand people trying to feel some sort of power or relevance on Twitter but let me tell you now, that platform is basically dead and you have to realize that at the end of the day, social media or not, you are you and your integrity and professionalism need to be there with you.

There are tons of accounts and bloggers that are very irresponsible. They know they have a following and treat them like minions to spread their message around and people buy into it hook, line, and sinker. They don’t question them, they just believe it all.

Be someone who questions, who debates, who has their own opinion. Some are not only taking their word fully but they retweet the same things, post the same general idea… we see you.
