Transfer Truth
A reliability-scored transfer rumor tracker that fans can trust, weighting every link by source track record and surfacing the difference between 'in talks' and 'done deal.'
Tottenham, Inter, and Barcelona fans tracking their club's transfer activity this summer window
- Source-reliability scores updated after each window so fans know which journalists actually break deals
- Club-by-club timelines that separate rumors, advanced talks, and confirmed signings into distinct lanes
- Push alerts only when a rumor crosses a reliability threshold the fan chooses
- Comparison tool showing how a rumored signing would change the fan's club's lineup and wage bill
Transfer windows are dominated by conflicting reports from journalists and club-affiliated outlets, leaving fans unable to tell a genuine link from recycled noise.

Demand is highly seasonal — peaks June–September and January, with sharp drop-off outside windows; credibility scores accumulate over time but engagement (and likely revenue) is window-driven, not evergreen.Transfer Tracker — Live Football Transfer News, Rumours & Probabilities ↗
Technically buildable with LLM + RSS/scraping of journalists, but requires continuous manual curation of the credibility scoring, real-time ingestion across 100+ outlets, and competing against Proper Sports Media's funded product — non-trivial ongoing ops burden.Transfer Tracker — Live Football Transfer News, Rumours & Probabilities ↗
