From Raiola??Don’t mind a bit of face sitting
If he brings me De Ligt and a new Pogba contract, he can do what he wants.From Raiola??
If he brings me De Ligt and a new Pogba contract, he can do what he wants.
The propaganda campaign has gone from done and dusted over a month ago to face saving measures the past week or so.I don’t doubt that Raiola is difficult to negotiate with, but the whole narrative from the Spanish media that the player is desperate for Barca (or Madrid when we was signing Pogba) is risible. The agent works for the player and if the player tells him he only wants to sign for a certain club he can’t force him elsewhere.
Shawcross, Longstaff and James. Thats it.Would be hilarious to see their faces when we inevitably go for some tesco shopping like Shawcross etc.
Players are easily led by experienced agents, and Mr. Gabagool is probably the best at inflating their values so he can collect his fee.Raiola gets unfair stick. His clients are not robots.
Exactly, If he only wanted Barca then there would be no problem regardless of whats being offered by others.I don’t doubt that Raiola is difficult to negotiate with, but the whole narrative from the Spanish media that the player is desperate for Barca (or Madrid when we was signing Pogba) is risible. The agent works for the player and if the player tells him he only wants to sign for a certain club he can’t force him elsewhere.
This. The whole idea that the evil agent is stopping the player coming to the amazing barca is a little nauseating.Raiola gets unfair stick. His clients are not robots.
Have you applied for Woodward's transfer assistant position? You'd pass the interviewing round with flying colors after he gets into full muppet mode with your plan.This should be easy.
1. Ask De Gea if he will sign a new congract if Pogba commits publicly that he will fight for Man Utd and we spend big on De Ligt, Sancho and a new RB. He will say yes.
2. Tell Pogba we will get De Gea on a new deal, De Ligt, Sancho and a RB if he commits publicly to the team long term. He will.
3. Ask Sancho if he will join us this summer if De Gea sign a new deal, Pogba commits and we buy De Ligt and a new RB. He will.
4. Tell De Ligt we have a project where all of the above happens if he sign, and he will be the captain of the team when we fight for CL-victory 20/21.
Boom, everything settled.
Yep, this tends to be forgotten. And although it was just one game, it also the case that so far he's only played in one of Europe's weaker leagues, so I tend to think that the potential transfer fees and wages being bandied for him are based on somewhat shaky foundations.... this kid was leading a team that lost a 3-0 lead in 45 mins to a Tottenham team missing its best player. ...
Who were the two players out of interest?He has liked 2 PSG players on Instagram today. Now I’m too old to care about Instagram myself but I know the younger generation are all over social media. If he’s intelligent (which I believe he is), than he’s basically teasing us all with this ‘which club next’ crap. I’d rather we let this kid go to Barca where he’ll play for 15 years without being a legend- better than pissing about every contract renewal with a boy who thinks he’s bigger than he is. Arrogance at such an early stage isn’t a good thing. Cantona was already a world class talent, this kid was leading a team that lost a 3-0 lead in 45 mins to a Tottenham team missing its best player. He’s not bloody Maldini.
That's what we specialize atAny buying club will need to be careful they don't end up with an over-priced player that they won't later be able to shift.
We sat down, but he didn’t manage to close the deal.Have you applied for Woodward's transfer assistant position? You'd pass the interviewing round with flying colors after he gets into full muppet mode with your plan.
Without looking, I’m hoping meunier and rabiot... agent De Ligt at work.That's what we specialize at
In fairness, Romero himself did say United have made a very good offer for De Ligt, which is more significant than the thread title suggesting nothing is happening.We're not going to change the title with each random quote. If there's actual news, as in a top tier Journo like Di Marzio, Romano, Romero et al say a move is likely, or else the player definitely says he wants to join a particular club or is flying somewhere for a medical then that's worthy of a title change.
That was a while back. We don’t want to feed false narratives that something may or may not happen based on old info.In fairness, Romero himself did say United have made a very good offer for De Ligt, which is more significant than the thread title suggesting nothing is happening.
He does imo. Let’s face it, most would love him as an agent. Zlatan, Pogba et al are no fools.Raiola gets unfair stick. His clients are not robots.
Exactly, if he tells Raiola to stop hawking him around and sign the contract with Barce it would get done. I swear people forget these agents work for the players and not the other way around.Raiola gets unfair stick. His clients are not robots.
Did Mark Ogden just say this now or was this his view 2 months ago?Somebody named Mark Ogden from ESPN reckons he agreed to join Barca 2 months ago, its all done and dusted and Utd know that. Then we have De Ligt with these comments. Somebodys telling porkies.
Probably means for him the advancement for transfers isn't open yet because his season is still ongoing with Netherlands.Isn't our transfer window open, which window is he waiting for? The one in Spain?
Ha. Him and Van Dijk together."I've decided to sign for the Champions League winners"...
Please, anything but that.

No, I get the transfer window is actually open, but he doesn't want to focus on his own transfer business until he's closed his own season off - i.e. played in the Nations League final.It's on: https://www.fifatms.com/itms/worldwide-transfer-windows-calendar/
The Fifa TMS system date for Netherlands and England open on 11 June. For Spain 1st July, so if he signs for us it will have to be after 11 June, if nothing happens fora number of days after that, he is going Barca, they have around a month to work on his transfer if he is going there. But I think he is hinting about the transfer system dates and maybe also that we are doing earlier preseason than Barca? And he wants to join sooner to his new club.
Relegating Matip to the bench is a great way of adding depth.Liverpool aren't going to be focusing on signing high profile CBs like De Ligt. They'll want to focus on getting attacking midfielders and adding depth to the squad.
