Lazy Journalism at its finest?

Hi football friends

just saw on Sky Sports website the below article regarding Hiroki Sakai

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11738842/tottenham-considering-marseille-right-back-hiroki-sakai

The first 3 paragraphs read:

Tottenham are keen on Marseille right-back Hiroki Sakai, Sky Sports News understands.

However, Spurs have concerns about signing a player that is 29 years old.

The Japan international fits the right-back profile that manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking for, but the club are targeting younger players this summer, preferably under the age of 23

-----------------------------

this to me, translate to the following:

Tottenham are not keen on signing Marseille right-back Hiroki Sakai, Sky Sports News understands.

The right back is too old and we don't have any quotes from Tottenham or Marseille, or the player to suggest there was any interest in the first place





really bad

Then we'll have go suffer that odious creep Jim White telling us, his good friends, on deadline day that spurs have submitted a bid despite being almost certain that he's too old for them

It is possible to educate a monkey ... there are people working on that right now, as we speak.
In fact, some say Shakespeare was a monkey!
Others say not.
But if the first lot are right, then it has happened already! And that's the only way it could happen in this universe, given the odds.

Sounds like he's a back up option of you can't get your other options in. That's if the report is to be believed at all.

Anyway, if you think you have it bad, we've been link to 70 players now. Only signed one.
