I’m just winding you up man. I just find it really odd that people treat him like some kind of gospel when it’s clear as day that he’s a news aggregator. He rarely (if ever) breaks stories, and when he does he appears to just be making educated guesses / jumps the gun. I just think it’s hilarious that people give his “here we go” bullshit more weight than actual journalists with actual ability and actual sources.

Mate described him as more of a 10 than a direct Wilson replacement. Rates him and reckons with the right development will get even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something that makes him not an actual journalist? Is it because he doesn't have a byline in a dying newspaper? And do you honestly believe he has no sources?

He has his own sources, he's actually friends with Watfords owners for example. A lot of the time he won't be the first to report transfers but a lot of times he is the first. And even when he isn't the first his confirmation is so well respected that it's become what most fans look for as confirmation of a transfer, over a lot of sports journalists.

Is he a news aggregator? Yes Is he a tap-in merchant? Yes Is he actually a journalist? He’s had a few cameos on Sky Italia since he became popular on Twitter. (Edit…I stand corrected on that… yes he is technically a journalist and has been for a while) If you can point me in the direction of any/many stories he’s actually broken though, please feel free, because I follow him and all I see is the same stuff regurgitated after other more legitimate sources have broken something. What he is VERY good at, though, is creating a brand around himself and a sense of legitimacy when the substance of what he is saying is usually already common knowledge.

Because literally everything you've said is wrong? I'm pretty sure I've seen Hans and others explain this to you so I'm not sure why you keep wanting to look daft, like.

Rates him and reckons with the right development will get even better. Any chance this is who we're signing instead of Paqueta/Maddison? Perhaps we see him as the most advanced of our midfield three with Bruno and Joe behind him? My impression was always that we see him as a CF who can play on the wing a bit but sounds like that may not be the case necessarily? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think this one will be done either way. One thing is certain though, Luke Edwards glees in winding people up. The dictionary definition of arsehole has his face next to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Romano is a reliable journo with direct links to the Pozzos. Edwards is an unreliable journo who enjoys winding up fans.
