Don't give a fuck about Romano. But use your noodle. This is coming from the club, not the agent.Serious Question To City fans...Do u believe Romano to be on your payroll as well as other big European clubs?...all the time he was being fed positive information from agent he couldn't wait to tweet, now...diddly squat...not really unbiased journalism is it?
Lot of times deal doesn't get done but clubs have to try. To me it would be concerning if we don't have backup plans. I believe we will probably sign Sosa or grimaldo.You do it to turn the player’s head, hoping they then go and say to the gaffer that I want to go there, which funnily enough will be exactly what has happened in all of these scenarios. That said, still pointless if club isn’t prepared to go to what is going to get the deal done.
I knew it was close didn't think it was through yet.Raum is Leipzig is done.
It’s almost like everyone loses.This transfer destroys Brighton’s business model. Young, promising players will no longer want to go there because they know, when a big club comes knocking, you won’t be allowed to leave.
Exactly my point. Release clause or not it's a moot point. We decide the player's worth to us and pay for it accordingly.he is wrong if 50 mil was cucurella's release clause I suspect we still will not pay it, because we do not think he is worth it.
No idea why people keep using the Grealish deal as an example. It was a release clause not a negotiation. Take it or leave it, we chose to take it. If Cucurella had a £50m release clause I bet he'd have been a City player weeks ago. The club's stance here has been to attempt to demonstrate we won't be turned over in negotiations.Signing Cucurella for 50m is not going to do that, signing Grealish for 100m though...
If we started Cucurella negotation from 40M, Brighton wanted 50m+ and in the end we compromiosed something like 45m+5m everyone would've forgotten this transfer fee in a week.
It did but it also could be argued it caught up with us in the fa cup, league cup and champions league. Nearly cost us the league too.
No matter what people say going into next season with 2 senior full backs would be absolutely ludicrous. The club are no doubt run well but doesn’t mean they don’t make mistakes. See when we didn’t replace kompany.
We have handled this transfer badly imo , we thought we could throw our weight around bully Brighton and apply pressure from the player. Fair play to Brighton standing firm. It’s very similar to what Barcelona are doing with us to Bernardo tbh
Not by definition but clearly if the fee was 50m and paying it meant it would get done, it’s not far from being a release clause.Mate, come on, there's no such thing!
