Nice age profile. Has anyone actually seen him play? Is he Xhaka-ria or better?
Means Partey deal is dead. Heard Atleti is refusing to budge with wanting 50m payment in full
Is Sky Germany reliable? I seem to remember Sky Italy being shit.

In uni we gkt sky uk to run a transfer just by ringing up and saying we saw a player at thd Luton ground. (One of yhr guys was from there). But since then they've become really reliable. (I'm old)
Sky italia is the worst source going.
Sky Germany ive no idea.
Still hope we're going after Partey then. Haven't seen Zakaria much, although I've heard some good things.
AS saying we're interested in signing James Rodriguez. Don't want him at all, would be like signing Coutinho on a permanent basis.

That's just the usual rhetoric you get in these transfers.
AFCBell says Partey is confident of joining us post CL after having very positive discussions with us this week. Trust in Arsenic.
Id expect/hope the partey deal to have the same arc like tierney, dragged out until we make the necessary sales
Has there been a single credible link to Partey this summer or is it all just white noise?

Plenty. I think both Orny and Fabrizio Romano have said we're in for him.
Yeah it's definitely a question of if we can get him, not if we want him.

Think you're right Gazza, both our last 2 signings have been free transfers Willian and Cedric. While we probably have some funds to spend a bit party move probably depends on us selling Douzi, Torreira or Laca.

Is Romano trustwothy? I don't trust Orny at all nowadays.
I had a look at Romano's twitter and he keeps saying that unless we pay Partey's release clause he's going to stay at Atletico, which I think a child could have figured out by themselves
Supposedly as reliable as they come. Who knows with rumours, but the links are as credible as they get in silly season.
Speaking of, L'Equipe reckon we're interested (along with Juve and City) in signing Aouar. lol.
Romano is probably the number 1 itk in the last 18 months. Haven't seen him get much wrong for quite some time, and usually only tweets when things are reasonably advanced rather than spinning rumours
Romano is ridiculously reliable, especially considering how many different countries he seems to have sources in.
Yeah I have to tip my hat off to Romano. He’s the best in his business.
Romano is probably the first ever legit itk journalist. Has contacts everywhere and covers all transfers in major leagues.
Even had a freaking documentary about him and his job ffs

He really pounds the pavement to get his firsthand verified news.
They say before he went public he was Mr X.
