ensco, insert Lynch's Dune84 'Get Out Of My Mind' meme here, I hold my own sentiments about Romano. I get it, savvy, hustler, of the new print media reality, about 6M each Twitter and Instagram and delivers, been at Sky- inside- since a teenager, but he is young, not even thirty. I am not sure his leads are direct and breaking as opposed to second degree and confirming. He may be first at 'here we go', first to widely disseminate and gets a lot right, but I do not think most of his sources are first tier- ownership, managers or agents, but second degree- likely their underlings or players. I feel he is not yet a seasoned journalist in the sense of others at the classic Italian sports newspapers to have developed those relationships and be trusted, so I do not see him having those connects; Italian Journalism and Calcio has it's class system. And 'most trusted' transfer source... maybe, but those internet metrics can be manipulated. Yet, he is from Napoli, so in the Insigne situation... I am full of contradictions on this.
