A very subjective look into AWFC

The transfer rumors aren’t just something that we encounter right before or during the windows. These baseless pieces of news are part and parcel of the daily lives of footballers and fans and frankly it’s annoying but believe me, I’m not above them and I’m just as guilty as anyone else to pull on threads and hope.

One thing I would like to think is that none of us are irresponsible enough to actually start the rumor itself. Not sure how that even happens to be honest other than at one point someone makes the decision to be speculative, to lie and to stir the pot. And I’m not actually judging anyone, I just don’t know how else to explain it.

A perfect (perhaps) example of this is the recent rumors about Lia Walti headed to Madrid and her resounding rebuttal of said rumor when interviewed after getting the Female Swiss Footballer of The Year award, which might be called differently but I’m calling it that.

Among the reasons why its unsettling is essentially how it makes fans behave and of course this is mostly younger fans that cling onto something and then spread it more, then click bait sites that claim to be news post about it, instagram and TikTok videos fly all over the place, etc… all having in common the fact that its based in lies.

Not really worried about the players as they clearly know the truth and they have so much more stuff to worry about that checking twitter to see what people are saying about something that should’ve never been said.

Of course we will never know what’s actually true and what’s not. We will have to take some chronological distance, as Arsene Wenger would say, to see what is what, who was right, and what was coincidence.

With that said, those Keira Walsh rumors better be true.
