Well Romano is clearly buddy buddy with Paratici from his time in Italy.
For comparisons sake, Franco Baldini in the summer of 2015 did a much better job in the market by getting rid of the likes of Kaboul, Chiriches, Stambouli, Paulinho, Soldado along with others in the one window than Paratici has done this Summer, which says a lot.
Also claiming keeping Kane by default because City wouldn’t make a serious bid as some kind of top notch work is just dumb.
