What are your thoughts on Fabrizio? Personally, as a Chelsea fan, his coverage of Caicedo to Chelsea last year was a massive, exciting moment for us, and you can’t doubt his reliability. Though, I think removing the big surprises of football (eg. Thiago’s retirement) could be way too much information, and potentially disrespectful to players.

Fabrizio is hated? You gotta be crazy. Fabrizio changed the transfer news game. Before him, we had tons of fake news.

Fabrizio did more good than bad. I can’t emphasize how much I hate unverified transfer rumors and the news outlets that make huge profit from spreading falsehood.

[Misfortune-teller]

80% of genuine football fans actually love Fabrizio

[drogba]

11:56 bruh I've never heard Fabrizio so angry 😯

[jvr]

This man alone is destroying every fake transfer rumor channels on YouTube. That’s what I appreciate him for, unless there’s exploitation

[mrsomeone]

For everyone who hates him for “ruining” transfers, there are far more that appreciate the fact he’s a counter balance for all the bullsh*t that still remains a stable of the rumour mill.

[JagerTime]

You can make comparisons with Arsenal and AFTV. Since it started Arsenal have never been the same club and has ruined the way fans support a club

[nananou]

Fabrizio just exposed the ballon d'or. The fact that Messi was given that award exposed how the decisions are taken. Nothing else

[highburylife]

Maybe a section of football fans might hate him but I actually prefer true news any day over hyped up false news.

[niilecreary]

Can’t hate on Fabrizio. The worlds changed a lot. So many teams and players have social media now so even if Fabrizio wasn’t doing what he’s doing I’m sure information could still come out or get leaked.

[YoungMarkGoldbridge]

this is really well made and researched

[ingolf]

I'm not a big fan of cancel culture, but if he was canceled, I wouldn't shed a tear. I can't stand the guy.

Great video, this was an insightful watch. Fabrizio Romano's work ethic and dedication to providing accurate transfer news are truly commendable. Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive video as always!

[FTBLPAT]

I have no problem with Fabrizio but sometimes he does over-do it with the amount of tweets he posts about different transfers. This is why some people prefer someone like David Ornstein as opposed to Fabrizio because he doesn't give everybody 10-20 tweets about the hottest transfer stories like Fabrizio does. The famous 'Ornstein Bomba' is a bit of a joke but it does show that sometimes less is more.

[Major_Okwiri]

My only issue with him is taking credit from works of other journalists because of his huge following hi is also good at spreading rumours

[Supirbemo]

This is why most of the club still quiet about the transfer right now

[sallarizza]

We have never seen a journalist get this much hate before.... Very true. We have also never seen a journalist make it into a video game before

[caffeine_]

It's thank to him that we have so much info about the behind the scenes of football.
Cant hate him at all

[Lil_Elegant]

Literally can’t get why people hate he’s just doing what he does and love🤔
