Sibierski Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Hard to know what Liverpool will do business wise this summer because it’s a new era for them, so may pivot completely different directions on their targets. Feels LB / CB / ST will be their main signings, with Bradley being trialled at RB for a season to see if the step up happens and saves them money. Maybe a CM too since Slot isn’t keen on Elliot at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Romano is clearly on the payroll on a couple of clubs. Barca, Real and at least until recently Man United. Although Jim probably has stopped that. Some of the briefing against Sancho he had last year was so detailed it could only have come from the club. As with anything social media wise and transfer related most of his posts have devolved into engagement bait slop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Surely what Romano tweets makes absolutely no difference to what actually happens with transfers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Antony hugs someone in Spain we're finding out about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 At the very least, he puts the feelers out for players looking to move and sometimes to exactly where they'd like to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the trustworthy side, but he is far, far bigger than Ornstein. I'd say on followers alone Romano has ten times the amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornstein is much more reliable but Romano is known throughout the world for his transfer tweets. I haven't looked at the Twitter followers count but I bet Romano has way more than Ornstein Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 9 minutes ago, Chris L said: so maybe on the payroll for quite a few agents, rather than clubs? I'd imagine across the board. I'd guess he's used by clubs to gauge reaction, possibly leak a player leaving to see fan reaction, see if it invites interest from other clubs etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s still seen as very influential in shaping the narrative around certain transfers and stories. There are a number of clubs like Barca and Chelsea who use proxy’s like him to unsettle players and drive transfer prices down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Even Ornstein posts a fair amount of clickbait non-stories these days, but he's still no where near as bad as Romano. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
