Have Sevilla sold 6 players equaling over 100m before they sold Kounde?
The timing doesn’t alway have to be early but in this case when a club is selling multiple players there will be a point where they don’t want to sell anymore.
I don’t get what that has to do with us.
So you expect our club to monitor the outgoings of another club and make tactical decisions based on that?
I’m sure Ajax was well aware we wanted Antony and knew we would be coming for him. It’s up to them to make those financial arrangements not us.
Real Madrid chased De Gea all summer with no bid.. right at the end the submitted a fee what was acceptable for a keeper. We didn’t bump the price up to crazy amounts.. we just switched off the fax machine
Seriously though we need to stop defending the opposition in these situations. They knew Antony would have brought in their biggest exiting fee and he made it clear to them he wanted to go. Maybe they should of planned for his exit instead of blaming it on us.
