Massive thanks to Fabrizio Romano for taking the time 📱. A special collab for our last video of 2021. Hope you enjoy it and thanks a lot for all the support this year 🚀!

Let's be honest, Fabrizio made it big thanks to the click bait, desperate, rubbish Journalists. Made it easy for Fabrizio to just go the straight and honest route, and make the rest look like idiots. Weldone Fabrizio you done it, and got the support of Football fans.

Spoiling movie ❌ Spoiling transfer news ✅ The man himself Fabrizio Romano 🔥

[@adriel68]

Fabrizio “announces” signings that have been reported by multiple sources. He takes no risks, and actually steals news from other, actual sports journalists.

[@guardianx4478]

@@adriel68 keep crying

[@ashb7]

@@adriel68 Huh? What risks? He's reporting on football news, not going into active war zones. There shouldn't be any risk involved, I'm fine with a journalist reporting stuff when he's sure. You yourself say there's enough journalists taking "risks" ie. reporting unconfirmed stuff.

[@talharanderee6022]

One of things that definitely promoted the transfer market is also gaming, whether that be Fifa, PES or just fantasy football leagues. It would be great to see you guys doing a video on how sports gaming influenced football, or sports in general.

[@mtk3755]

100℅ agreed people got interested lot more into transfer market through fifa. Few years back I remember kids of 12-14yrs discussing transfers of football in fifa. I guess the explosion of transfer news now is a result of that combined with social media.

[@santicricci]

Athletic Interest has reached a stage where I don't consider it as a KZbin channel anymore because the quality of the videos, the narrative, and the content is just as good as Netflix Originals

[@AthleticInterest]

Thank you! Glad it feels that way 🙂

[@shahriartanvir977]

[@tanumoydas1782]

that's what I love about Fabrizio. In current times, with a lot of transfer journalists, he doesn't race to be the first one to report a transfer, but he is always reliable... In this transfer market of uncertain journalism, unreliability, only Fabrizio can be trusted... He has build that reputation for himself... P.s :- Football fans may not trust their partners, but they trust Fabrizio blindly...

[@pacho359]

Before he blew up, he was awesome. Concise and straight to the point. Now he just tweets the same thing 30 times.
