I hadn't heard of him but it seems he's a journo based in San Sebastián, does stuff for As and Cadena Ser radio, the top sports radio channel here (with COPE), so he's no fool
He's just tweeted this by the way...

Goodbye Willian José? Yes, he's off. An agreement is close. The deal will be around €30 million, €21 million for Real Sociedad
Where's the other 9m going? I presume there's a sell-on clause or something?
