Of course we're worried about a bid from the rags. Or anyone for that matter. Our policy is to offer the selling club X amount and the player X amount in wages and not budge an inch on that. We've missed out on three or four players we were after now because other clubs have comes in and offered X+ and at that point we hang up the phone.
Many players obviously don't seem to care that they will be playing for a shit club or a shit manager or in a shit league quite as much as a lot of people think, and that's why we've had to rethink our transfer policy deep into the window for three windows in a row now. Now obviously that shows a shit attitude and not the kind of player we want at the club, but you can't deny we were in for them in the first place.
Alves last summer, Sanchez in January and Jorginho this summer. Maybe Neves will turn out not to be a complete pillock like the other three, but the club are right to be worried because it IS a repeating pattern at this point.
