The time has now come again to update the tiers for transfer + overall rumors again. The survey has a lot less journalists on it due to the last one having quite a lot which is why we cut it down to various factors:

- if the journalist is being often posted on the sub/on twitter

- if they "deserve" to be rated due to them not having enough votes in the last poll (e.g. Sacha Tavolieri)

Current state of tiers are stated below

Tier	Source/Journalist
