Fair play athletico madrid

[Thaksinssoldier]

No leaks.no auctions.no milking it in the media.no using it as a photo op for the chairman.


If only more clubs were like you,pleasure doing business.

 

[bainesymcfc]

agreed

 

[glen quagmire]

Yes, well done.

Wouldn't have been the case if Jesus Gil was still president there.

This would have dragged on and on and on.............

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

To be fair, it seemed it was either us or real madrid and they'd hardly want to have pissed us off and Kun to go to them would they?

 

[LoveCity]

They were cornered, he refused to go back to the club. But we do have good relations with them which helps a lot. Also, Spanish clubs aren't as slimy and cunning as Italian and Brazilian clubs.

 

[Bluemoon115]

I think our "working relationship" with them played a part in this tbh.

 

[bluethai]

If for 38m. in cash, I won't complain as well.

 

[andy_aston]

hope they use the money to buy Tevez from us

With the exceptions of Barcelona and Real Madrid

Athletico needed to move him on to another club out of Spain, otherwise his fee would have been alot less. We more or less met the release clause in his contract. They're also skint so it was a no brainer and they would have been stupid to risk the deal and try to haggle the price upwards

 

[Motty]

It would be harder for them to start an auction for him anyway because of the release clause in his contract, but yeah, they do seem to have made things easier than they could have to be fair.
