Easy to say when it is not your money. 5 odd million pounds is not peanuts. And could be the difference between us being able to afford the striker we want or not.

I wish we’d hurry up as well ffs.
I expected something concrete today going by report from last week.
I don't think this one is happening.

Looks like we'll cough up tomorrow.
I swear sometimes I can’t help but think this Romano guy is just in it for the clicks.
He's a clown (Romano).
Why? When he doesn't report anything people are asking for updates. When he does update, people say he's just repeating news. He's almost always spot on.
He turn into a pumpkin if the deal is not done tomorrow?
Saw Kovar today, he is better. Walk away from this and sign Hojlund.
If we somehow manage to feck this up

Yesterday it was Wednesday and Thursday was the big days . Now it’s Thursday after feck all was reported today
He’s a clownClassic prolonged period of journalist guesswork following the period of concrete interest but before a deal is actually done, where the club is doing god knows what.
I think that might be the ominous undertone in Romano’s tweet… it’s United’s to feck up and don’t rule it out or blame him if they doIf we somehow manage to feck this up
Starting to embarrass himself now. Better off just staying silentYesterday it was Wednesday and Thursday was the big days . Now it’s Thursday after feck all was reported today
He's a clicks merchant.Yesterday it was Wednesday and Thursday was the big days . Now it’s Thursday after feck all was reported today
I refuse to believe he has actual reputable sources beyond other journalists.
I appreciate yours and all the comments here in support or even dubious of the transformational effect any new goalkeeper will have on our ability to be more clinical on goal, by far and away our most glaring weakness in the squad last year.
Just so that we are clear, these are the names of our strikers last season: Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst. These are not names that instill fear in opposing defenders.
That our defensive record, apart from the two huge blowout defeats to City and Liverpool, was borderline outstanding and that De Gea kept more clean sheets than any other keeper could be argued were achievements despite, not because, of Dave.
In any event, I look forward to seeing the transformational impact Onana will have on our ability to improve our finishing on goal. If Martial and Hojlund between them score 30 goals, it would be hard to argue that bringing in a modern keeper had nothing to do with it.
For the love of god, get this done so we can move on to signing a #9 so we can move on to signing another midfielder so we can move on to signing another CB
To be fair last week he said Wednesday and Thursday crucial days
Guys it's happening on Friday. Inter and Utd are going to onanaounce to the theme of:
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today it is Friday, Friday (Partyin')
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today
Tomorrow is Saturday And Sunday comes after... wards
I don't want this weekend to end

You can't actually believe that? He's literally the most famous journalist out there, countless footballers follow him and even comment on his posts. Of course the guy is ridiculously well connected.
He started off working under Di Marzio, went independent as he had his own contacts with tons of agents and made it big time. Ridiculous thinking he doesn't have actual sources. Him and Ornstein are by far the 2 best and most well connected.
Please get it over the line. The more it goes on the more I think it will fall through.
Hope it is not happening. I had him in my fantasy-football team last season and saw him playing often. If news are right, we are willing to overpay for a keeper who is clearly not world-class level.
He has great distribution skills and range of passing. His reflexes are good, but he is average between the goal posts most of times.
And most important, he has no leadership at all, saw him quarreling too often with his teammates. Not to talk about the dispute with the Cameroon coach during the last World cup.
Furthermore, Inter are in desperate need of cash to finance Lukaku's return, reported for 40 million euros.
There are other good keepers out there. We should act smartly and call our price, I mean a reasonable price. Not feeding other clubs up for their desire to get back fat-ass Rom

How people can be nervy about this one I've no idea, it's obviously happening.
Exactly, even Ornstein credited Romano for breaking few stories first, also Romano is well connected with agents.
Ornstein is at the level of his own, after than Romano and few others. He is very good but some sad reasons people hate him. People have problem even if he tweets giving credit to others who broke story, weird.
Basically, Inter wants us to pay enough (for Onana) so that they can buy Lukaku from Chelsea.
Doing a Glazer -- Get Onana on the free; sell and then get another -- striker for free.
Who are you to bring sound reasoning into this?
He's been getting progressively worse. Not saying his sources aren't what they were, but all he seems to do is rehash info over and over. If there's no update, no need to make out there is on a daily basis.
Big day today. Some say crucial.
This best get agreed today. When is it we fly out to America?
Fridays are usually big days. If not then sometimes Mondays are.
Even if he costs us 5 goals with his antics, he'll save us 10 by pushing the backline further up the pitch, and help us score another handful by starting attacks from deep.
He will be great because he will turn a mundane back pass into a source of high drama.
Definitely will get done
Won't see another midfielder or CB until we manage to sell Fred and Maguire
Arsenal need to pay up West Ham for Rice, then we send Maguire their way.
Big day today.
The Gazzetta dello Sport was reporting yesterday that he's been looking for an apartment near Carrington.
