TEAMtalk.com Reviews 23

Unreliable fictional none factual clickbait just like the rest what they don't know they make up they just sensationalise fiction it is all just clickbait traffic what they do not know they make up with so called journalists like Ben Jacob's that just talk absolute trash same with the rest of the nobody's on it they just wake up and think what can we make up today its like the Viz for the comedy gold it makes up

Absolutely garbage a useless biased website that the so called journalists just trash talks specific clubs ( this utter nonsense trash talk is definitely a London biased journalism teams, like arsenal, Chelsea and spurs so pathetic) this type of behaviour and journalism should be banned permanently and should not be allowed to be published!

Giving away my age but I've been using TEAMtalk since it provided club news via premium rate phone lines in the early 1990s, and then became a reader of their website in the late '90s. There's so much competition now and I follow Arsenal bloggers, TikTokkers and The Athletic but I'm sentimental so I still keep TEAMtalk bookmarked and visit regularly.

I've been a reader of TEAMtalk for decades and whilst the quality of coverage has fluctuated in that time, I have noticed a lot of improvement over the last few transfer windows in particular.

They have added genuine transfer correspondents to their site and their accuracy has improved as a result.

Site works, seems to be regurgitating information from elsewhere. Ads pop up that take up 70-80% of the page, which is annoying.

One of the worse unreliable football transfer news who sources out from other unreliable journalists and news outlets. Amazing that some mainstream media still quote news from this guys

An extremely poor source of news (misnomer - most of the content is mendacious), shoddily put together.

I am incredulous that a publication of this size doesn't have an editor.

I have noticed a significant amount of typos, grammatical errors, bad syntax, wrongly used phrases (to fall on one's own sword means to self inflict), unnecessary repetition of words - where alternatives would sound better (at one point, the word 'indeed' was coming up at least three times in every article and even as high as seven) and headlines featuring the same overly dramatic words - often in caps - for nearly all of their articles.

I don't understand how a transfer that doesn't happen was once 'thundering' towards completion? Why are managers hoping for a transfer always 'in dreamland'? There must be a decent alternative phrase meaning happy - although, mostly, they're in dreamland over something that doesn't come to fruition!

This goes along with contradicting articles posted on the same day and misleading headlines that read as fact for articles that actually feature nothing but the opinion of a low ranked pundit.

I feel that if these things were to be amended before publication, they may be able to appeal to and retain a readership who do not come to them for content due to these unfortunate issues.

I know their current target audience is not the UK or even Europe; but would they not like to appeal to a demographic whose mother tongue is English or most of who are at least fluent in English?

I'm sure this would please their advertisers and draw in new ones - that way they wouldn't still be featuring Christmas related adverts in May!

Is the choice of not having an editor due to the demographic of their target audience? That would be a shame because their audience could be far broader.

Very poor lazy reporting biased views

I remember this site being one of my favourite football reporting sources about 20 years ago (I know … that old !!). Just looked at an article where James Marshment completely ripped off quality and well researched reporting from Laurie Whitwell in the Athletic, effectively only adding a Click bait title. Yes, he technically sourced Laurie but it’s lazy. In fact, any time I look at the website now, it’s all Click Bait and typically from only a few ‘reporters’. Sorry lads but it’s about time you start creating some original content and perhaps move from the desk and get out into the field. Such a shame to see the lack of quality on TeamTalk nowadays.

Of the many transfer websites out there, TEAMtalk is definitely one of the more reliable.

It's not the best of the best, but it's definitely worth a bookmark as they call a fair amount right.

Poor fantasy claims of clubs transfer activity! Unreliable click bait nonsense

Clickbait trash

TEAMtalk gives you all of the transfer rumours from across Europe all in one place. There is simply no better site for transfer news!

Great site for transfer news and pundit stuff, would definitely recommend!

The place to go for transfer news both in and out of the windows

Now it's clickbait. They make up or exaggerate headlines in order to get people to click on the article. All the writers are the same, so the direction must come from the top.
Headlines are so over the top such as so and so team is devasted because another team is interested in their target.

TEAMtalk is a one-stop shop for all transfer news. A mix of their own exclusive news and the very best of everything else out there, with a bit of their own analysis thrown in too.
I find their writers to be well-informed and entertaining in the way they write their articles.
I LOVE it!

This website is simply untruthful. It misleads in order to gain clicks. It should be shut down as a scam. The people writing it are semi-illiterate and apparently allergic to facts.

They printed false claims. The said at the beginning of the year that Eddie Howe of Newcastle was sacked? He was not sacked. So they made false claims to attract attention. This is bad journalism and fake news. I don't want them popping up in my space.

Teamtalk is best! My fav among footballsites :). The best newsreporting.
