Ketsbaia Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I don't get why transfer requests are suddenly a game changer. A player writes that he wants to leave and thats that? He automatically has to go? Clubs will flat out refuse to sell players then the magical request comes in and they MUST sell. I just don't get it. I think they can theoretically reject a transfer request. But it's a strong indication they'll have a disgruntled player on their hands. Also, it must have something to do with their contract and whether the player is entitled to certain bonuses. Personally I think Spurs should tell Chelsea to fuck off. Aye i think you get a loyalty bonus for not asking to leave. But whilst Levy is adamant that Modric won't go, we know that as soon as the transfer request goes in his "hands will be tied" and he'll go to Chelsea. They already know Modric wants to go there and a written request shouldnt change that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think they will fall well short if they are targetting this level of player. That said, surprised Man U went for Young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 With this spending, Liverpool have reloaded to become the team they were a few years ago when Rafa had them thinking the title was a serious possibility. At the end of things, they still lack the top level quality needed to win this league, but they'll be more competitive on that front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yup - now Modric has handed the request in, he will now for-go any loyalty bonuses. He must be quite desperate to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Is that 90 million pounds or so Man U have spent this summer? Where are all of these team getting this from? Isn't 2011-2012 the first period when clubs are supposed to break even according to the Financial Fair Play rules? I suspect they are all going in a leveraged spending spree before then.

At the end of things, they still lack the top level quality needed to win this league, but they'll be more competitive on that front. While they've spent a lot I really don't see how the players they've bought are going to transform them into title contenders. Suarez is their best signing and he cost the least.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 They've spent/are about to spend over £100m on players who should have cost about half of that. Only Suarez looks close to being market value, but the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
