There's more at play then "the Premier League pull" I mean there's wanting to cash in, and then there's accepting around 40% lower than your stated asking price. If they're doing it to fund player purchases, how does it benefit them to accept less than they actually need?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a zero sum game if they get in 25m then that funds purchases of 125m this financial year. the difference between 25m and 30m is not the be all and end all when it comes to budgeting for these size clubs they asked for 40m but they knew they wouldn’t get that they probably figured all along that they would take 30m. It looks like that amount will now have to include add ons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritwalker Posted 18 July Share Posted 18 July Roma will just be playing a waiting game with this. Convince the player to sign for them. Put in low ball offer. Wait for player to kick up a fuss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 18 July Share Posted 18 July 29 minutes ago, Fox1norfolk said: I few years ago I went to a lecture given by a very well known ex Scottish international footballer and he described in his career how transfers happen. He gave an instance where after training he was summoned into the managers office and told he had been sold to another club. He had no say whatsoever in the matter, he felt as was just a commodity so ff he went. I feel the increased level of power that agents have got today as ended that type of thing. Or at least made it less common. Ofcourse, it has brought different issues to the sport also though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they want/think an English club will pay and what they need, wouldn't necessarily be the same would they. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 18 July Share Posted 18 July In before the lock. Being reported now by the Roma PR machine.......Interesting no mention of a fee being agreed with Juve?? Roma's new sporting director, Ghisolfi, he has already found an agreement with Soulé and his attorney. The contract on the table provides for a five-year term of approximately 2 million euro more bonuses. An attractive offer that seems to have convinced the player to move to the Italian capital.

Isn't that like £35k/week? Someone needs to tell big Matias that we've got squad players on double that! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping we have pulled the plug. It's obvious he doesn't want to move here, the only reason (and I know footballers are a mercenary bunch) he would choose us would be for the money. Loyalty to the City aside your options are Rome or a relegation fight in Leicester, i'm choosing Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted 18 July Share Posted 18 July What's changed? I thought it was reported that he fancied Roma more all along- if they don't stump up the extra €10m that won't be happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Fox Posted 18 July Share Posted 18 July To be fair, if he's choosing Roma - a club that won't get relegated, that should be challenging for trophies immediately and that is in Italy, which is where he's settled and has been playing his football for a few years and which he has familial connections with - the fact that he would choose them over an extra 5 or 10 bags a week shows he has a good head on his shoulders. He wasn't averse to coming here either, so if we're ever in a position to have another go at getting him, it means we're in a much better place and he's done the business in Rome, is a bit older, wiser and ready for a different challenge. Chances are he'll never play for us but c'est la vie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
