I know him well. He emails me regularlyYes it is the Prince of Nigeria and to be fair he says he will give the money back once he is able to get his own fortune out of the country

Called it months ago. I want my tag line changed.The problem is that even the reliable journo from Dortmund hasn't backed up Falk or Romano. Romano has gone in balls deep on this and is looking a little silly right now. He said we were in advanced negotiations with Dortmund but even the BVB fans like @do.ob laughed him off.
There was a time Di Marzio was the Godfather on here and now even he's seen as not being reliable. I think Romano is now following a similar trajectory.
Doesn’t matter what nonsense the reporter says, it’s another chance for the club to shut it down and haven’t. When will the penny dropSo what, just because some journo reported that the agent fees are the biggest (not the only) obstacle which we already knew it's suddenly on again? Never change muppets
The most telling sign for me was Sancho's lack of comments. If he just came out and said he was happy to stay for this year, the whole thing would be shutdown. If Dortmund genuinely didn't want to sell him, they would have easily got him to say he's staying until at least next year.Like we’ve been saying for weeks, it’s not over until we brief the media that it’s over.
Whether you agree with what Sky have put out this afternoon or not, it’s another opportunity the club had to shut it down and they haven’t.
You must be that distant relative he keeps telling me about.I know him well. He emails me regularly
I think they erected a tombstone and piledrived into other threads.It's interesting to see the Undertakers have all gone quiet slating us muppets with "It's dead, move on".
Ooh right so it's on because the club haven't said it isn't on? We're linked with 100 players every window and the club hardly ever shuts any of those rumours downDoesn’t matter what nonsense the reporter says, it’s another chance for the club to shut it down and haven’t. When will the penny drop
Who's the reliable Dortmund journalist? Is that Fjortoft? He was talking about how the clubs were in active negotiations throughout this time.The problem is that even the reliable journo from Dortmund hasn't backed up Falk or Romano.

Yeah, Romano got a little overconfident about the transfer, but since then, he hasn't jumped the gun. Even with the van de Beek story, he was very cautious.

To be honest, Romano was very late with the Van De Beek deal. I remember when the stories started breaking on Saturday evening. Romano's first tweets about it were just regarding the fact Utd had been monitoring for weeks. But he never mentioned that before. It was other accounts that started breaking the news first on this one.Who's the reliable Dortmund journalist? Is that Fjortoft?

Perhaps he's just not that well connected in The Netherlands. All the news came from Dutch sources. The English journos knew feck all too.To be honest, Romano was very late with the Van De Beek deal.

It's definitely not Fjortoft.. He's another one that the BVB fans laugh at.Who's the reliable Dortmund journalist? Is that Fjortoft? He was talking about how the clubs were in active negotiations throughout this time.

They started to break out of the Netherlands just after ten Hag dropped van de Beek from his pre-season match lineup. Mike Verweij was starting up the stories from the Netherlands, and Romano provided the additional info (agent contacts, initial bid, etc.). The rest of the journalists started to follow suit once Mike Verweij dropped the initial news, and that's when we saw briefs about the club monitoring the player for a while.To be honest, Romano was very late with the Van De Beek deal.

Oh, you mean from Ruhr Nachrichten! Yeah, they've been very quiet about Sancho to us from the beginning.It's definitely not Fjortoft.. He's another one that the BVB fans laugh at.
I can't remember his name but he was mentioned on here by the BVB fans.
Absolutely agree, I've been crying out for these muppets to stop saying it as they're jinxing it every time. When will they ever learn! Happy Sancho day!Can you all please not wish a Sancho day please, perhaps that'll be the day we sign him, you jinxing muppets.

I'm not blaming Romano at all. But he got this one wrong and jumped the gun with his article in The Guardian where he said we were in 'advanced negotiations'This isn’t true though. The majority of his transfers stories do happen. If you follow the transfers gossip you will see how many he gets right. The Sancho deal is complex, lots of money, agents involved with no direct communication between clubs. I don’t think you can blame Romano if the deal doesn’t happen.
Rurh Nachrichten are the tier 1 for Dortmund. Think there is a journo working for Kicker who is pretty spot on with them, too. His name i have forgotten. Im sure the German residents here will be able to tell you. Thats why i think people realised Romano had jumped the gun, as neither RN or the particular Kicker journo backed it up. And they definitely would have, if that was the caseWho's the reliable Dortmund journalist? Is that Fjortoft? He was talking about how the clubs were in active negotiations throughout this time.

it's 50/50 really, well to me anyways. I can see united paying the money just as much as I see them pulling out. I just hope they realise they spending money on a potential world class talent that'd reach way above £108m in a few years time. Even if it does mean our expenditure lacks in the future because of it.The club have still not briefed that they've pulled out of the deal which gives me some hope. That brief might still be coming, but until that happens I would take everything else with a pinch of salt.
Happy Sancho day to you tooAbsolutely agree, I've been crying out for these muppets to stop saying it as they're jinxing it every time. When will they ever learn! Happy Sancho day!
Which if true, gives some credence to what the English Journos have been saying regarding the issue, which is that the players wages and agent fees are the issues and not the transfer fee.Oh, you mean from Ruhr Nachrichten! Yeah, they've been very quiet about Sancho to us from the beginning.
My guess is that they wouldn't have any info from Dortmund because Dortmund themselves aren't involved in the negotiations. They've sent out agents to represent them and do their work.
He and the Di Marzio tend to do that for La Liga news, but they do give them credit if they do so. They don't have connections all over, obviously, which is why they aren't up front and immediate with all of the events, but they do look for and get reliable info.imo Romano definitely has contacts, but occasionally piggybacks off others info. I've seen quite a few deals announced or news broken this window recently, before Romano even mentions it, or even gives it a slightest time of day. Then suddenly he has all the details within 5 mins... they are the only times I get skeptical of him.
Does anyone confident about this deal think it could be done in time for first game,personally I would say no chance but just putting the question out there
Do they really need to?The only reason I think this is still happening is because we have had the usual briefing yet.
I love your postsDoes anyone confident about this deal think it could be done in time for first game,personally I would say no chance but just putting the question out there
I expect this to go through around two weeks time. It is a massive deal so won’t happen in days. But the ball will get rolling within the next couple of days.Does anyone confident about this deal think it could be done in time for first game,personally I would say no chance but just putting the question out there

The fact that James Cooper (Utd's mouthpiece) and Darmesh Sheth from Sky have reported tonight that theres been some movement with Utd's willingness to come to an arragement around the agent fees and the wages suggests this will pick up pace. They are both of the view that the Fee between Utd and Dortmund is not an issue and the bid will go in as soon as this first step is resolved.So by my mental calculations then it will be just in time for him to be registered in time then. What do you think will happen to get the ball rolling in next couple of days then?
