What will Ramano's tweet be? Any guesses?
I think he wasn't reliable before 2021. I remember read it in their forum that Romero has been spot on about this season news.The Varane story was from a different journo. Romero us a good source for Barca but he did in the past say United were the front runner for De Ligt. But he's currently gone a step further with De Jong, and is reporting the deal us almost done with United.
Declan Rice, obviously.Would he be the sitting 6?
Cheeky pocket stroke...But but but I put my cock away
FDJ is on a big wage, I think that's one of the reason.Kessie is pretty far from the Barcelona DNA, letting De Jong go for him would be absurd. That's a really bad call from Barcelona if it does happen. They blew a boatload of money on Torres to end up selling De Jong, I guess Laporta will loose a lot of credibility after that (if true).

I'm not 100% believing it.
Romero might be tier 1 but I remember during the De Ligt transfer he kept linking us and nothing happened.
Don't get your hopes up lads
I've looked back at Romero's Tweets about de Ligt, and he never linked us that strongly to the player, certainly not as strong as he is to de Ligt. He only went as far as saying that United submitted a better offer than Barcelona, but even that wasn't enough as United's offer fell through. If anything, I think the United fanbase blew up the news and overstated it, making it seem like this was going to be a done deal.I think he wasn't reliable before 2021.

He wasn't, certainly not as confident as he is with de Jong.Wasnt Romero dead certain on De Ligt joining United ?
yes much earlier in the thread I said couldnt see any truth in rumours then and the fee would hinder us for the number of signings we need to make.Would be so, so pleased. £65m+ for him is a better deal than almost any other we could make in his position. A good DM, De Jong and Bruno from before this season is a title winning midfield.
He would also be perfect for Ten Hag. As for him preferring to stay at Barcelona, that’s just a minor inconvenience. Maybe he’ll enjoy life here as well. It’s like changing schools, you’re reluctant at first, but you eventually settle in and everything starts to go as swimmingly as usual.
Needs to pick up tomorrow, it is quite late. But hopefully one or two reliable ones join tomorrowLack of people joining in on the news is a bit disappointing, but its still on and a done dealio, obviously.

Get rid of Busquets, Piqué, Alba if you need but I'm pretty sure that could have been able to keep him hadn't they spent money on Torres and wages on Aubam, Traore or Kessie.FDJ is on a big wage, I think that's one of the reason.
It's been "on" for less than an hour and it's the middle of the night, so we're probably not going to get many journos phoning around to see what's what until tomorrow at the earliest.Lack of people joining in on the news is a bit disappointing, but its still on and a done dealio, obviously.
Even if he was, De Ligt wasn’t a Barcelona player, and his best connections are with Barcelona.Wasnt Romero dead certain on De Ligt joining United ?
Thanks, now that awful chant is back in my ear worm
One less cnut in Catalonia always good if you ask me
Good riddance
Fair enough. Frenkie is on big wages at Barca. He's going to want similar here and having him on a similar contract to Sancho is not good businessEven if he was, De Ligt wasn’t a Barcelona player, and his best connections are with Barcelona.
He's definitely showing more confidence in this deal but he did report on RAC 1 that United were the front runners for de Ligt and Simon Mullock (Daily Mirror) fell for the story and wrote a exclusive that United were close to signing de Ligt.I've looked back at Romero's Tweets about de Ligt, and he never linked us that strongly to the player, certainly not as strong as he is to de Ligt. He only went as far as saying that United submitted a better offer than Barcelona, but even that wasn't enough as United's offer fell through.

He's showing way more confidence in the deal being completed regarding de Jong with the 95% claim. Romero, overall, has always been reliable. He's probably the most reliable Barcelona journalist around, even more so than the Mundo Deportivo ones.
Physicality maybe. Pace no. De Jong is quick and quick in technique and at thought. Pretty much unpressable. Thiago, Bernardo Silva and Kovacic level. And he could play his favourite position here without Busquets being in the way.Any concerns about him adapting to the pace and the physicality of the premier league? A very exciting signing if true.
yeh, i find ornstein on the money usually.Ornstein being put in the same category as Romano is harsh.
No, Messi didn’t win with Frenkie in the teamLove how people are getting carried away. Title winning midfield with FDJ? He didn’t even win La Liga with Messi in the team.
spent 10 min time on their forum I couldn't find Barca fans said he's been spot on this season.He's a good source for Barca news, there's no doubt about that.
Let's hope Mike Verweij and the top English journos back Romero up.
He didn’t play in his best position. Obviously not looking at a title challenge but he is one of the most transformative players we could buy. Turning a weakness into a strength with one signing.Love how people are getting carried away. Title winning midfield with FDJ? He didn’t even win La Liga with Messi in the team.
He's a good journalist for Barcelona, mate, there's no question about that.spent 10 min time on their forum I couldn't find Barca fans said he's been spot on this season.
I probably read it from reddit or twitter. But the fact that all the Barcelona fans on that forum actually believe with the news means the guy is really indeed a good scource for Barca news. And also to call it 95% is bold statement. He could lose creditability if he gets it wrong after saying 95%.
This is betterWe need that Vince McMahon meme with the increasing stages of excitement!
