Does anyone else think from the owners tweets that we have royally pissed them with us signing Pellegrini and perhaps there's been some fallout over what we paid for him, so they are refusing to sell to us?

Don't know about refusing, but yes, I think we have pissed them off and they are reluctant to sell to us at anything other than a premium which doubtless we don't want to pay.

I think Napoli and Malaga were tremendously excited to do business with us, the "richest club in football."
Both appear to be disappointed and looking elsewhere.
Brinkmanship, or the reality of FFP?

I honestly don't think there in a position to refuse to sell to anyone, there desperate for the money. I do believe they may be holding out for more money from us. We don't want to pay anymore and it's just a case of whoever blinks first.

Not wanting to get hammered passing on information (and not wanting to troll through 78 pages on the Isco thread to see if it's been mentioned before) but.

Txixi Belgiristain and his son were being shown round my sons school as he's going there (St Bedes). and his son seemed confident that the Isco transfer was a done deal.


He also mentioned a full back playing in Portugal, Jefferson and Pepe as transfer targets. (although Txixi wasn't as happy with the Pepe one apparently! don't shoot the messenger.org/wiki/Jefferson_Nascimento

This is the only Jefferson i can find playing in Portugal.

Jefferson apparently close to signing for West Ham £3 million.Guardian reporter on Tw@tter

23 Feb 2013 ... Estoril left-back Jefferson scored a stunning goal to inflict a 3-1 defeat to Sporting
Lisbon at the 8,000-capacity Estadio Antonio Coimbra da ...

30 May 2013 ... Sporting Lisbon confirmed in its website the signing of the Brazilian left-defender
Jefferson, 24, from Estoril Praia

Anyone got up to date odds..I cant check on works moby tapatalk

Betvictor- Madrid 1/4 us 7/2
Ladbrokes- Madrid 1/6 us 11/4

1/4 is pretty good for a supposed in the bag transfer. Stick a grand on make a nice £250 profit. Although I'm one of the ones in belief it isn't quite over yet :)

25% return in a matter of a few days? Everyone would be jumping on that if it was "done" wouldn't they.

That's largely right according to my understanding but they're not refusing to sell. They will sell to the highest bidder. I was told a deal had been done but there seems to be some brinkmanship going on. So whether we've offered the most but not met their valuation or whether Isco wants to come to us but Madrid have offered a better deal I don't know. I suspect the latter but that's a guess.
