One thing's for sure now though, Romano's either full of shit OR he's a tap-in merchant, but he's definitely not both. Contradicting Brighton (Cucarella) and Howe (João Pedro) are the exact opposite of tap-ins. No, I'm taking the word of a high ranking club employee, who is on the record as saying nothing is agreed yet. There is only one way that can be framed. It probably will get agreed in the coming days, but Edwards will still have been right. Regardless, it doesn't matter. We'll probably sign the kid so let's hope he turns out to be a player.

Our manager has just confirmed the deal isn't agreed, that is all there is to it. You're essentially saying you trust Romano over Howe which is crazy. What are you talking about? I trust Romano wouldn’t post ‘here we go’ and claim an exclusive if he hadn’t heard something pretty concrete. You seem to have just framed the rest to your liking.

He won't even be proven right here, the only thing proven will be that he hates Newcastle with a passion, unless they hire shit managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 3 minutes ago, TRon said: The fact he's speaking about it at all tells you everything. Howe would never normally comment on other club's players at all normally, it must be more or less done bar tying up some loose ends. Aye. If there was nothing in it he’d say what he has already said a few times, that we’re no nearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe has always refused to comment on specific players previously, but has now given a direct update on Pedro. That in itself is more telling than the actual words that came from Howes mouth IMO. Even if it was all done, Howe isn’t going to break the news himself in a pre match press conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People believe Romano because he has built a reputation of always being right. Yes he is a tap in merchant, but the fact remains that he only usually says ‘here we go’ on done deals. Edwards is a fucking moron and his record is average at best. it seems all the Newcastle based journalists are saying it’s not done however there has been 1 or 2 others alongside Romano who said it’s done so I guess this info would come from the Watford end.

Romano has a 100% record, he deserves to be believed until he can't be. Romano clearly has the inside scope that the £30m including add-ons was verbally agreed and today we've put that in writing to get the ball rolling. Howe has to be diplomatic about it, he wouldn't say anything until it was signed, sealed and delivered. As for Edwards, he was wrong, he didn't know about the verbal agreement and gets to hide behind the fact it wasn't official. But it's a done deal and it was a done deal yesterday.
