robbo_11 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Romano, Jacobs and others are fed by clubs or agencies for a price. The natural link in this story is Bruno G, but I'm sure that Sporting Directors are speaking to players agents all the time. There are two options in play here - this is getting leaked to see if we bring an improved contract forward or there is interest from other clubs and they're using the media to flush out further interest. I think, rightly, we're a bit scarred after the Isak affair. When you take a step back the way the game is going this will become even more common place. You just have to look at social media now and you start seeing Premier League players with their own YouTube channels doing content which is monetised. I wouldn't be surprised to see a transfer announced via this method with the buying club tagged in, if it hasn't already. Personally I'd love to see these social media journalists declare payments on posts a bit like influencers do with a #ad #gifted for transparency.

Turnbull2000 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 As depressing as it is, I couldn't begrudge him the move. His family are probably settled in England, and if Man U are the only big domestic club that comes in, he's 29 and this is his last opportunity. It's only a matter of time before they get their shit together, whereas we have reached our ceiling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll still be loved if he leaves for a Real Madrid but id find it hard to love an ex player who left us to play for Man Utd, fuck that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's especially annoying is this Man Utd side isn't even that good. If they keep a hold of Carrick, I can see them having another shit season in 26/27.

nufcjb Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Even before all these stories about him cane out, I genuinley believe Bruno is a rare breed among footballers today in that he is loyal to his club. Today would have hurt him so much after he wanted to redeem the defeat at the SoL. Don't think he'll leave us for another a Premier League club but can see him off to Real, Barca, PSG or any other big club. The day he leaves, he'll be crying his eyes out, just like the whole city would be too. Edited March 22 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 It's a machine that has proven to work for them now so they will continue to use it. Might have to log off here this summer and just wait and see what our squad looks like when the season comes round. Not sure I can put up with another summer like last year. Especially if they have 3/4 players they want to take off us rather than just one like last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Why are we whining about players possibly leaving because of "the media" and "cartels"? If players leave it's down to the clubs failure. We aren't victims of a conspiracy or a greater power. We aren't victims at all, stop wallowing FFS. Edited March 23 by Teasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
