The Muzzie Ozcan saga - what we know so far
There's a few threads over at Reddit discussing the fact that Muzzie Ozcan, a proven football advisor/semi-agent, tweeted that Arsenal will be making the "deal of the summer" about a week ago. This was taken as classic ITK bullshit, but then this Reddit user did something that tabloid journalists try to avoid at all cost: he fact checked.
Turns out Muzzie Ozcan is not your typical ITK, but has been involved in a few deals (Alderweild, Bilic, etc). Exactly what he does is still a mystery, as he's apparently not a normal agent.
The company he works with sometimes (Mondial Sports Management) represent a few high profile names, including Cavani, Kovacic and Witsel. People then automatically assumed it must be one of these players, but Muzzy Ozcan does not work for Mondial, so he could potentially be involved in any deal.
Whether it's bullshit or not, who knows. In typical ITK fashion, Ozcan has made a very vague claim, not mentioning any names or regions. Which means that if Arsenal do sign a big name, he could claim it was "his" player all along. That is the standard ITK play, naturally. But he is also obviously involved in actual deals, so it's all a bit confusing.
Either way, the original thread and the follow-up thread are both worth reading.
Worth mentioning that Muzzy Ozcan himself then tweeted a link to the original Reddit post, saying "great work". It's a glorious ITK vortex.
If it's true, I think it's Benzema or Cavani being talked about.
If we sign Reus I'll eat shit.

Seems like some proper ITK bullshit to me. I won't get excited until theres something a bit more specific. Also saying that Arsenal will make a deal in "the next few days" is always inaccurate. Every time we are linked with someone that seems "confirmed" it takes fucking weeks before the club announces anything ^^

At least you know he'd actually have some sources, unlike Geoff, Dean, Wayne Gooney, Tim Payton etc

We missed on Kondogbia, now Schneiderlin goes to UTD. I don't know...if AW wants to back up the Coq with Arteta...does'n seem possible to me and won't be Champs again. We need at least 2 more singings...

Will the evidence be posted on YouTube or Vine?
Which animal's faeces will you choose to ingest?
(FWIW - I don't think it'll happen either)

Apparently he's just another ITK. Someone found a cached version of his Twitter feed and he's been deleting incorrect ITK tweets, just like all the other ITK twats. Ignore and move along.
