Do we actually know if he has been? Romano tweeted 2-3 weeks ago that he was due a medical last week, but we had no confirmation of that happening.

Other outlets have jumped on it because Romano is almost always right, but he’s been silent on it, and is unlikely to now “report” he was wrong.

We are learning pretty quickly that in the race for “news” on twitter, more and more outlets are reporting what others are saying rather than backing it up with their own sources.
Tbh you’re right, although Fishpaste and Prehab said he was due up here last week
 
yes but I think both said “due” (like Romano did). I don’t think anybody anywhere has actually said it happened.
No no you’re right - there was that article where fishpaste said we have agreed a 4 year deal during the week last week, there’s inklings of a Birmingham takeover so I’m wonder if he has been up but whoever is coming in down there has decided to push back a bit and generate a bit more money

yeh potential shout that.

Sometimes I think its bad news when "stories" like Fishpaste's get out saying the bid is much lower than reported, especially before its announced. It sends the supporters of the other club into a frenzy and I often wonder if that would ever make a club re-consider. There's a reason its always "undisclosed".

Not for one second blaming Fishpaste for this as there's way too many "ifs" in that.

Fwiw also just seen on twitter than Romano posted a “here we go” story about Maja joining Birmingham, saying it was a done deal last summer. Then went quiet when it didn’t happen.

maybe his Birmingham source is toilet

Confirmation he's had a medical? When was that a thing?

A fortnight ago the daily mail said he was joining man.

Wtf are you talking about? I'm just pointing out the difference between people saying "he's due up for a medical" and "he's been up for a medical". Not stating that I think him coming for a medical is a news story.

People knowing he was due to be coming up is completely different to it actually happening, or even them saying it's happened.
 
As @APC has said above, I think there's a chance this guy has come in and immediately gone "nope". Either because they no longer need the funds (why sell a prized asset so cheap) or to apease the fans.

When the deal was announced by Romano - loads of their fans were like "ffs we need this takeover soon" - with the suggestion being they were selling cheap due to their financial issues. A bit like us with Mumba.

I reckon we might have ended up on the wrong side of this one.

Clubs don't confirm that a medical is taking place man.

Plus, you said your choosing to believe the daily mail cos they're the first to say something in a number of weeks, despite them saying 2 weeks ago he was coming

You're ignoring my point entirely.

If you can't tell the difference between future and past tense there's no hope for you.
