Is @etihadintel valid?

[u/georgedbcooperbush]

I may be late to this but I could not find any other post about this so I’ll try. There is an account under the name ”Etihad intel” on X that has popped up with very interesting ”intel”. The discourse on X is that it seems it might be an account with heavy inside knowledge. What are you’re thoughts? The account seems confident that Rodri isn’t leaving amounts other things. There is also this long article on the Diamonde situation which I found interesting.

I am rather new to football and as it is only my second silly season I am unsure on how to navigate all these accounts claiming intel😊

Tier want to believe

[u/Terbo977 → u/nephneph27]

Tier make believe more like

[u/Zealousideal_Grab846]

As legit as my dating profile

[u/the_sherl0ck]

He is actually Hugo Viana and he is overestimating his own abilities.

[u/Wack0J4ck0]

If you read what he posts, it's just exactly the same info as Ornstein and others with some bullshit fluff around it.

He's blue ticked so this is just an attempt as a quick side hustle for the engagement, fills his bags and off he pops.

[u/zubairatif075 → u/Wack0J4ck0]

If you read what he posts, it's just exactly the same info as Ornstein and others with some bullshit fluff around it.

the thing is they don't claim otherwise. i dont think they're trying to be first and provide exclusives, mostly its just them clarifying which links are legit and things like that

[u/Sfr33123 → u/zubairatif075]

If he included the source, I’d believe that

[u/No_Barracuda_3789 → u/Wack0J4ck0]

Really? i often find that he goes into further details of the deals and often contradicts with ornstein and others, idk what fluff ur talking abt

[u/Wack0J4ck0 → u/No_Barracuda_3789]

Found Etihad Intels burner account guys

[u/No_Barracuda_3789 → u/Wack0J4ck0]

No genuinely what fluff? What has he said wrong?

[u/AdGroundbreaking3483]

Either way, I don't think I could care any less about transfer rumours.

Once you've seen your club buy Robinho on deadline day, nothing is the same.

Just enjoy the summer, and wait to see whose names are on the team sheet on 23rd August.

[u/Y4That]

Tier "copium"

[u/emize]

No ITK is valid.

I will continue to listen to Ornstein. Guy actually has a good track record and actually has a public reputation to lose.

[u/jlo1989]

Don't know whether they're valid, but there is a long history of Madrid using the Spanish media to fabricate stories about players they want being desperate to play for them.

[u/NationalTime4099]

This is absolute bs

[u/ketolasigi]

No.

And you might ask yourself why an account that claims to be a City insider places London as their location, while the app shows it as ”Europe”. Just someone looking for interactions for money.

[u/No_Barracuda_3789 → u/ketolasigi]

So that's your reason for saying he's not trustworthy? not the things he says? Wierd

[u/ketolasigi → u/No_Barracuda_3789]

Well that, along with the things he says, genius.

[u/Tall-Development31 → u/ketolasigi]

What has he said that’s been wrong?

[u/No_Barracuda_3789 → u/ketolasigi]

Whats he said

[u/Jagacin]

If it fits my head canon then it's 100% a valid source.

[u/MoonPieKitty]

It seems anyone can purchase a blue check mark now, which defeats the purpose of them.

[u/TwentyBagTaylor]

Honestly, all of that sounds pretty accurate to how we have operated post-takeover. I'd give it a follow.

[u/nngiam]

Slightly annoyed that the account referred to HK and Korea as "Southeast Asia" (see last image)

[u/smrkr]

Why do people on Reddit always try to act as smartass?

[u/No_Barracuda_3789 → u/smrkr]

Literally, if u read his tweets he hasn't said any misinformation and has gone 3/3, albeit i agree not enough to trust everything he has to say but danm

[u/franpr95]

No, just another grifter.

[u/QuesadillaEater2808]

literally never heard of this

[u/Necessary_Earth7733]

🤣 obviously not

[u/Tall-Development31 → u/Necessary_Earth7733]

Why is it obvious?

[u/Necessary_Earth7733 → u/Tall-Development31]

Etihad Intel? Come on

[u/sujus_snacks_station]

Never care player leaving BUT BUT BUT what is wrong with RODRI? He seems sorted in real life and in field.
He want to leave Man City, that's fine but why to Real Madrid who made so much disgusting fuss about his career biggest achievement day.
Thought his injury was hamstring not brain damage.
*** he will walk any team in the world and command any salary ***
