So how accurate are the transfer rumours in the papers?

Came across this site just now, apparently there have been 82 transfer rumours related to Charlton in the Daily Mirror and 22 of them were correct.

    about 1 out of 5 - thats actually better than i would have thought. when you think the majority of rumours are started by agents looking to drum up interest in their clients or fans hoping if they can get a rumour printed it might actually come true. then there's lazy journalists that just rehash old stories or literally make things up. looks like the mirror, once in a while, actually do get some inside information... who would have thought it.
