They aren’t in a position to make big deals. Lots of clubs net spend on players and post losses. Villa too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teale's 'tache Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 54 minutes ago, useless said: I look at Juve fans' comments, they seem to think this is common practice for them, they will have a target - in this instant seemingly Koopmeiners, and to help with the negotiations for that target, they will pay agents, and certain media to leak stories that they have someone else lined up as an alternative, I guess to give the impression that they aren't desperate for their main actual target perhaps, so won't overpay. It's possible that that's what's happening with the Luiz to Juventus rumours I wouldn't be surprised if this is what is happening, but also I'm not sure we'd allow/be happy for our name and player to be used for these kinds of shenanigans, so I just wonder if we see a benefit to ourselves somewhere in this i.e. we have an interest in a Juventus player and allowing this to play out kind of smooths any potential deal with Juve.

Yes we could come out and deny it but you’d then have to come out and deny every rumour about every player, we’d need a whole dept just to deny every rumour doing the circles. It’s just appear talk so the club just ignore it like with every other rumour. Until something actually happens I don’t think the club cares what’s out in the ether.

Personally if they are interested and dougie wants to go we should be demanding chiesa not mckennie He signed the deal when he had a year left and was a reserve under shithead. He had all power in that contract talk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Thank god for google translator. Just read a load from Juve fans on this and none of them believe it, they just think it’s tosh news. They don’t think they have the money for difference in valuation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just appear talk so the club just ignore it like with every other rumour. Until something actually happens I don’t think the club cares what’s out in the ether. I think you can come out and deny it if you think it is causing you issues, so not every player, just when it becomes a problem, you could also have a polite word with Juve and ask them to knock it off, you could threaten to link their players all over the place if you wanted, not even to us specifically, anybody, but obviously, I think it's better to try and keep good relationships with as many clubs as you can in case you want to deal with them later down the line. It's all a big game, clubs, agents, players, media, etc. Fortunately, we have an experienced operator in Monchi, he seems more willing to 'play the game' than Purslow was, I think he's happy for certain links to get out there if he can then use them to our advantage.
