timeEd32 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I still think Romano's info was real from either Watford or Pedro's agent and then one or a combination of both of these things happened: On 23/08/2022 at 13:00, timeEd32 said: Here are the ways I could see Romano's info being wrong after the fact: 1) Watford accepted a verbal / unofficial offer and we're now being slow with making it official potentially due to Wilson news or other options 2) Watford accepted a verbal / unofficial offer and then got an offer from Everton and are being dicks about it or the player is potentially more interested in them That said, I still think it's done and all of this is a bunch of nonsense around different definitions of "done" that Luke is on the wrong side of. It's certainly fair to say he jumped the gun on calling it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, we may be done other than loans and we're fine saying so. We may also be using Edwards as the negative little mouthpiece he is as a tactic. Maybe that's where the depressed budget numbers came from too, who knows. Breaking news on transfers is almost certainly going to come from elsewhere, whether that's someone like Ornstein, someone with connections to a particular agent, or local reporters of the other club.

The owners have used media sources as leverage even before they bought the club. They aren't going to negative spin through the their preferred sources. No, they'll use someone who's always been a negative cunt and let him spin a yarn, knowing they'll not back down and keep banging that drum. He's done a great job for them. We've secured Isak without any competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As expectations have been played right down, thanks to sources like him. Then bang. We got a big target without much fuss and competition. This was always the clubs plan. The info he has been getting, he has shown 100% commitment to, and he's like that as it's somewhere from the club. Just no one is doing him any favours.

Kid Icarus Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) You couldn't name an industry more rammed with undeserving self-important narcissists than journalism, like. It's mad how they're all seemingly baffled why so many people actively dislike them, let alone fail to respect them at the level they seem to think they should be, like they're providing a valuable service to humanity. The likes of Romano have completely exposed the idea that their worth to us doesn't go beyond how ITK they are and no one gives a shit about their copy. And they can't stand it.

LFEE Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Romano was wrong on this occasion. Edwards was right on this occasion. Just accept it or you all just end up looking like Edwards defending Bruce ? He’s probably wrong about us not spending anymore money this window however and it may even end up being on Pedro but I remember many many many months ago Staveley told Wraith the plan was £100m player investment per first 3 windows if I recall so I guess that’s not far off as it stands ??♂️ Edited August 25, 2022 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Love the idea that the owners hated Edwards for his pro Bruce/ anti takeover views that they intentionally fed him the budget rumours and summer so that when they went big everyone would jump on him for being a complete know nothing prick.

Gawalls Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 As much as I wanted Pedro (and I did), I love the fact we stuck to our guns, walked away after reports the player wanted to come then spent twice that money on a different striker. This really sends a message out that we won’t be taken advantage of if you try to push us yet do have money to spend to take us seriously at the same time.
