That's his claim yes. I do like how the Zone formats everything like a press release. Very professional-ish.
MLS Transfer Zone basically put a google alert for anything MLS. I admire it because he attributes his source. Unlike the other one who used "source" and essentially copied a fan made rumor. MLS Transfers has sources, but it's mostly a Red Bull one.
818893083387559936 is not a valid tweet id Would be a pretty big swoop for Portland if true. Transfermkt pegs his value at 4.2 mln Euro, so he probably won't come cheap. http://www.transfermarkt.com/sebastian-blanco/profil/spieler/54576

He made all these statements about being done after the last summer transfer window. I guess old habits are hard to kick. Plus, he (used to be "they" if memory serves) uses it for personal, non-MLS tweets, which made me unfollow the account. Where "Transfers" seems to have actual sources, "TransferZone" is more of a report/link aggregator.

Multiple sources tell me that Timbers have submitted offer for Sebastian Blanco. $4.5 million cost covers fee/year one salary.— Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) January 10, 2017 Club America also have an offer in for Blanco. Sources confident he'd sign with Portland. Again, $4.5 million for transfer fee and salary.— Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) January 10, 2017

I'm hearing breakdown to acquire Sebastian Blanco is $3M transfer fee and $1.5M salary. https://t.co/BhyjceZFf2— Jeff Carlisle (@JeffreyCarlisle) January 10, 2017
So what happens to Diego Valeri when Sebastian Blanco arrives? How do they line up together/how did they line up together at Lanus?
Also, he said earlier in 2016 that the summer transfer window last year would be the last one he would cover due to time constraints. I see he's still tweeting news this winter so maybe he's had a change of heart, but I don't think he's spending as much time as he had been
You are probably looking at a lineup something like this: Gleason Powell Ridgewell Arokoyo Vytas Chara Guzman Blanco Valeri Nagbe Adi
I think the moral of the story is..... Give the guy a break. His site is what it is, and better than most. Please do not disparage.
I appreciate him, just wish he would source more of his tweets. oh and stop tweeting when he is drunk. Zone is way better.
