The Prophet Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Rob Edwards this morning more or less confirming that he is for sale, but the first bid wasn't high enough. “The bid that has come in that’s been talked about, it’s not anywhere near the level that we’d expect it to be for him.”If anything else was to come in again, then we’ll sit down and talk about it as a club and as a board.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If Pedro is viewed as our alternative to Ekitike, I wonder if any deal for him will be structured similarly. The Ekitike one was supposedly only 12 million upfront, that would leave a decent chunk left for any further business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 How the f*** would he know like? How could someone outside of the select few know in advance when a club is likely to contact another club with an offer? Wihout a serious leak that has got to be BS, surely?

Rich Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Because he's spoken to the agent handling the deal? I think 99% of what Romano gets comes from agents, they use him for their own ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents might know and could pass it on. Romano, in fairness to him, doesn't seem to just make random shit up out of the blue. So it's likely he's been told something by someone he can trust to some degree (that info being right is another matter).

Paully Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I was a bit meh about him until I heard the two Watford fans on this from 18 mins (apologies if Giggs!) - they both sound very knowledgeable and massively rate him! SIGN HIM UP! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Aye, ever since he started really developing a big following Romano really eased back on posting speculative BS. Believe he has great agent sources across Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny1403 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 14 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: I get the comparison but Ekitike was our first choice for a reason. He had 16 goal involvements in 26 games and Borussia Dortmund and PSG were after him. He also just looked much better from watching his highlights and was reportedly cheaper than João Pedro, who had 5 goal involvements in 30 and no one else is in for. There's quite a big gap in what their potential looks like at the moment. Hopefully it's meaningless and João Pedro is class though because he does look good. Still an interesting thread though and obviously my post isn't aimed at anything you've said. I find these sort of arguments funny. Let's face it, have you ever seen Ekitike play in a full game outside of Youtube highlights? Have you ever seen Joao Pedro play outside of Newcastle v Watford? I highly doubt 99% of our fans have. Maybe there's more to it then what fans on the internet think from Youtube clips? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
