Thought Lille have already said he's not for sale in this window? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trensa Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 15 minutes ago, Nine said: Something doesn’t add up here, why keep moving the goalposts for an extra few million if the player is already unsettled and has asked to leave? What’s the point on risking the buyer walking away over an insignificant amount and being left with a pissed off player for at least half a season? Sevilla didnt ask for a bid and DC was almost signing his New contract. Sevilla doesn't risk anything but to get the Best team possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 While I think this is just either brinkmanship or BS. It's a good move. Especially if we really do want two CBs in. Show clubs we will walk. Go get the other one now. Just forces Sevilles hand come deadline day. Still think he will be ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player we have looked at had been revealed in the press but we haven’t seen anything else concrete on a CB since Carlos.

Gemmill Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I hope the player goes right off the boil for them now, gives away ten penalties, and absolutely blows up their season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have signed Martial and will be paying him 200k a week for the rest of the season, and now you will need to at least double Carlos's wages. Can Spanish clubs afford to run their business like this? Isn't that why many clubs in La Liga are in trouble? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine with them walking away, but surely we could have handled this better How have we handled it? Sorry Ive only read tweet updates and bitty articles to get some content out, not been aware of the details internally of how we've actually handled it. Could you explain?

Toon No9 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think it's right to walk away from this deal. Should have done it a week ago. He's a good defender but, at almost 29, £30M is too much. There must be other defenders out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzaschicken Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 For 60m euros I'd much rather just bid that on 21 year old botman if we were going to splash that amount of cash on 1 player, at least you have the potential of getting a half decent return if it all goes pear shaped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have money post Covid? Over to the player/agent to push this through with Seville before we buy elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 DC has already agreed personal terms? We may not be spending much time on him at all. Here's our bid, take it or leave it. We've agreed terms with the player but we're looking elsewhere unless we hear from you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
