Matthijs de Ligt

Man City wont deal with an agent that insults the coach and club......except they already have when signing Sandler.

Let's not forget how long we kept Yaya around after Seluk spent year after year talking shit. I think Pep and the club dealt with the situation flawlessly.

He has gone weirdly quiet hasn't he?
Maybe the pressure of taking this step has got to him a little bit

I have to say, I don't get the "we don't deal with certain agents" thing at all. It's a business transaction and if you're doing your job correctly you put personal biases aside and do what's best for the organization. It's not like the agent is hanging around your office, next time you'll see him is in a few years time if you want to renew. Weird policy.

Coming from the absolute least insightful commentator here I'll take it as a compliment.

Yep. It’s nonsense.

 

[Daz_Blue]

I hope he does not agree to come here then at the last minute signs for someone else ...last thing we need is to be blindsided by de Ligt

If I were to guess, it's a policy that exists only in the minds of fans.

Just a guess.

 

[LucahArchie10]

It's the same when many on here say only pay this & don't pay more than That as if it's there money??
If Tixi puts it to the board & Kaldoon says yes then it happens tough shit..

Well it's obviously not an actual policy considering we signed one of his players less than twelve months ago. But even conceptually, in what business (and football at the top level is absolutely a business) could you just decide not to deal with a major player in your industry because you don't get on personally? My clients and my boss would never accept that, because it makes no sense. It's not to say you're always going to come to an agreement with this person, maybe he's demanding super high wages or whatever, and thats fine, but the idea that we just wouldn't try is nonsense and a pretty transparent excuse.

I'm not sure I get football because I agree with you, fuck 51 years watching city wasted

Whether we have a policy of not dealing with that fat **** or not, we will definitely have a policy of not paying the fat **** an extra 20 million quid on top of deals.

If he asks for a huge bung, we will tell him to fuck off.

Which would be the appropriate thing to do.

I should think we only care about the amount we pay for a player. Doubt we care too much who the money goes to. 70M to Ajax or 40M to Ajax and 30m to the agent. It's all the same to us.

It's not a couple of years down the line when the fat agent wants de Ligit moving on again for another pay day.
