Which they almost certainly would have done.

Fair enough so.
I don't think it's to influence the negotiations directly but more the sway of fans engagement. Twitter meltdown = increase in Twitter traffic = exposure for the twats like Romano. It's the macho Keeping Up With The Kardashians and football fans can't have enough of it.
I said to my mates on a whatsapp group that I miss the days when we would get our transfer updates on the way out of work when we picked up the Echo and turned to the back page or on the 7.20am sports update on radio city. We didn't shrivel up & die due to a lack of update in between
the rot started donkeys ago, as a schoolboy i used to ask my mum to print out the transfer gossip from teamtalk because she had internet at work

He followed them for months.
For context he also follows Arsenal and City.
Romano had his pants pulled down on that update.
Edit. Clicked the link and even Twitter told Romano he had his pants pulled down and embarrassed himself.
January 15th 2023 he's been following them since.
Tv text started the slide

The phrase “winning the transfer market” has been in use for a few years now, but there was a while on Thursday night and Friday when it felt like a portal to the pure dimension of the transfer market had opened and sucked us all in. Liverpool and Chelsea had simultaneously decided that Moises Caicedo and only Moises Caicedo was the answer, and the Brighton midfielder was poised to move to one of them for a British record transfer fee – but which one?
By Friday afternoon both “Caicedo” and “Caceido” were trending in the UK. A transfer battle between two big clubs, with armies of hysterical fans gobbling up fresh fake news served up every few seconds by a breathless array of liars and chancers, became a real-time Twitter superspectacle which, frankly, proved more enthralling than an actual football match between the clubs (the last four of which have finished 0-0).

If he really wants Chelsea and no one else, he's got to be getting a little annoyed that they let this happen and haven't been able to sort it out since.
If it wasn’t on a pizza cooked in the Ooni… not interested!!!
That “he only wanted xxx” is a pure Romano wanker thing to make himself relevant.
@Beamrider made a great point ages ago - the reality is, players follow the money, there’s very little romance or thought about it.
There isn’t some romantic notion about wanting to play for Chelsea (even though they’re “light years” ahead of us) - it’s just money.
Pay him & his handlers more than Chelsea & Romano will start tweeting about how Caicedo was “blown away by the Liverpool project”!!!
Serious question, are there any electric pizza ovens that preheat really fast?
It's difficult to be mad at the player.
The Times had a profile about Caicedo and his background. He comes from a very poor neighbourhood in Santo Domingo - has 9 siblings. His dad worked as parking attendant and his mum sold flowers. He's literally lifted the entire family out of poverty.
Difficult to blame him for following the money. It's also obvious to see that he's surrounded by agents/advisors, who're doing their best to extract their share as well.
Can't imagine he has the privilege of choosing what is a better footballing project for him.
He’d be blinkered and blame Brighton and Liverpool.
He can't be registered. I just don't want him signed and paraded across the pitch ahead of our game, in front of the Chelsea fans.
Fair. I couldn’t give a fuck. Last time that happened We dicked them 1-0 with Torres watching on. Never understood why we sold them Meirles after that either. I really liked him.
Graham legging it out of the crowd and going through both pairs of knees two footed would make it all worthwhile
Yh, but Torres was never paraded across the pitch ahead of our game. He played in it. We got the chance to kick him.
This would be different. Chelsea fans would get a boost ahead of the game. I don't want that. If anything, I want uncertainty over whether the deal will go through on both sides, so if we dick them, they'll panic splurge another 10m on him.
And if we lose, we'll do the same and get ourselves a DM.
Absolutely. Surely there’s no way we go making a bid of that magnitude without knowing the player is keen to come to us.
