Sorry, I have no idea what relevance that has to what I said
Albion approved journalists are not able to publish what non approved journalists can is my point. I.E speculating. Naylor does get “not happening” info though.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Twitter or X is venomous at times, used properly then its great but very devisive. Give me a good old forum anyday...YES IM A DINOSAUR
but a happy one.
There's a simple, nuanced answer to this journo willy waving but as usual one poster on here is turning into a binary conversation in which only he's right.
Naylor and Owen won't want to reveal our targets for the very real reason that they could get hijacked. Hence the confirmation only when there's no chance of the deal collpasing. The quid pro quo is they get info on other things to write about in the Argus during the season.
Romano gets info directly from agents agitating for a move or a new contract. He has a lot of them and gets a lot of info. He also has a lot of highly unreliable imitators who post complete nonsense on X for likes and blue tick money.
Neither are foolproof. Romano initially ALWAYS hedges but a 'here we go' is 99.9% reliable. I trust the here we go. I don't trust anything he could later change or delete.
Sky Germany / Plettigoal have had a very good window though. Seem to have very solid info. Reliable AF so far.
The trade off comes during the season when Romano retreats off to shadows and Naylor / Owen get to write their columns about other Albion stuff, do interviews, poke around the Academy etc, none of which you get with 'transfer gurus'.

The world has changed.
There used to be the day, only 20 years ago, before social media where the local Argus hack had his contacts in the club and was probably the very best source, where quality Albion related news was only local ITK leaks on the far less poplular internet or in the Argus.
Now with whatsapp, X, Facebook or whatever, news is instant, Agents or clubs can leak something to social media, to manipulate transfers, or through a massively subscribed eyes on, intermediary like Romano and its out to the world in 30 seconds.
The role of the local hack has been overtaken by social media.

i like both Naylor and Owen but info dries up? were virtually saying they are reporting what the club says well that's more or less common knowledge by then.

He doesn’t do himself many favours when this is the calibre of his tweets
Cutting edge insight
Florian Plettenberg (Sky DE) has proven this window that he is getting good info, club approved or otherwise

Years ago, I was waiting in line to go into Saint Sophia mosque in Istanbul, when this friendly old boy began talking to me. He said he was an Imam in London. After a lot more small talk, he asked me if I liked carpets. Yes, he wanted to sell me a carpet. True story*.
It is rare that I make my mind up about a whole nation, based on a sample size of one, but on this basis, my considered opinion is that anything that you hear about Ferdi that comes from Turkey is likely to be just that little bit suspect.
*Other true stories are available on request.

Fair point. But my comments transcend transfers. He breaks no news at all and his longer pieces just aren’t insightful…I can’t recall the last time he told us anything we didn’t already know.

Andy Naylor's career as an Albion correspondent is now older than Fabian Hurzeler !! All credit to him for continuing to report and write about the Albion now for a company owned by the New York Times. Who'd have thought it.
And NSC posters pointing out where he's been going wrong or man splaining how is job actually works is probably up there too - almost Milner like in its longevity. .
Its a fine old NSC tradition !

Dangerous Idiot
Except they don’t give us any juicy info
Its a hellhole but if that's where the newest news on any subject will be, unfortunately. The difficulty is trying to figure out what is true, true-ish or false.

Am I not understanding? That graphic shows four home games and three away.

It certainly gives people something petty to argue about while we wait for anything interesting to happen.

It is missing the Ipswich game. I have no idea why I am following this so closely.
Edit: the xitter tiling of the images you can see has cropped images 2 and 3 so the Ipswich game is hidden. So it makes Naylor look a fool if you don't click through his whole tweet.

Very true and his longevity should be acknowledged. It was the Argus or the Seagull line for any and all transfer news/bad news. Naylor isn't breaking it anymore, times have changed, changed and radically changed.
Naylor can't count.
