I honestly find the **** following the guy has to be completely bizarre to be honest. I utterly and completely admire his hard work, his dedication and the endless hours he spends following other accounts on Twitter but he is not a "journalist" by any stretch of the imagination. I think the guy does have some fairly decent contacts but he's largely just an aggregator of information who rehashes information tweeted by Ornstein and multiple other Twitter sources across Italy, Germany, Holland, and Spain, and then he takes that information, often without crediting the person, and adds his brilliant presentation skills to it. The man is the #1 aggregator in the world and that is absolutely fantastic and an unreal accomplishment for someone who is not a real journalist and ideally shouldn't have contacts. But I just refuse to believe him having legit information for every single transfer like he claims to do because there are countless examples this summer where I've seen the original tweets that he's copied, which he passes off as his own within 2-10 mins of the other person tweeting. His most amusing trait is ofcourse always copying or adding on to absolutely anything Ornstein puts out.
However, criticism aside, it takes a large amount of effort to even sit 15 hours a day on Twitter just to find information and he is a major source of news aggregation for a lot of people so fair play to the guy.
