I totally disagree. There are some exceptions but when he says something will happen it usually does. I've found him to be literally the only useful journalist out there for speculation. In general they are so transparently lying. Romano seems to have some agent links and gets am agent's view on things.
Romano is very careful in fully committing himself and he'll make sure to always leave an e-way for him to escape with his reputation intact. Those examples are typical from him.
- "United aren't looking to sign any new players in January unless there's a good deal to be made" - that covers both scenarios (ie United buying new players and United not buying new players)
- "United are in control of Caicedo's transfer. However they need to decide whether they want to sign another kid or not" - once again that covers both scenarios (United buying Moises and United not buying Moises)
- "In my opinion United will be very interested in Jadon Sancho for next year, however I think there will be competition for him and its possible they would shift their target to Haaland" - as said it covers both scenarios, we might or might not buy Jadon
- "Pogba wants to leave United but football can be unpredictable and he might still be a United player after next summer" - Classic Romano once again, covering all options again.
So sure he's always going to be right because there's no possible scenarios when he can be wrong.
Its like saying if Crashoutcassius tells a redcafe mod to feck off then there's a real possibility that he's going to be permanent banned. However mods in redcafe tend to be great people so they might opt for a short term ban, a warning or even take it as banter. Mods are in control over the situation and they might decide either way.
Does that mean that I have inside information about how redcafe works? No.
Transfers are multi million deals. It involve a horde of people each with their own agenda/ego and those involved in a deal know that it takes very little for a deal to go tits up in the last hours of a deal made. Things as trivial as buying a luxury car or an apartment to the player's dad in the dying hours of a deal can be enough to sway a deal from one side to another. So for a deal to succeed there need to be all hands on deck to react quickly to any counter offer coming in from other clubs and to calm down any anxiety of those involved. I refuse to believe that someone like Judge or someone like Mino Raiola would keep a 26 something Italian milk sop updated so that he can relay this inside information to the likes of Howson or Mark Goldbridge. It ain't happening.
