What's annoying me is that before where he would come up with exclusive insights he now seems to be revealing things at the same time as the general press and not always that insightful.
Silva: He hinted earlier on in the summer that we had provisionally agreed a £20m deal, then Valencia revealed it and we pulled out to avoid a bidding war. This may well be true but in his recent rumours he says no English club have made recent contact, then goes onto say our communication channels are open with the player.
Alonso: He's been one of the first to claim that Xabi is pushing for a deal and Rafa will only let him go for a certain price. He also said he expected it to be done within 3 weeks if it was happening. 3 weeks later and it's likely it's off but it may not be.
What's annoying me about Ballague recently (and this is as much to do with the silly summer season) is him reporting things but in such a general way that he covers his back. (e.g. Alonso will likely move, if it happens it'll be resolved quickly, or maybe not, might not happen but might do, not really sure). I suppose what annoys me most is that he used to be really reliable and only spoke out when he had good info. Now he's going like the typical journo by speculating and generalising. I'd much rather he said nothing until he had concrete info - same goes for the rest of the media
