buzza Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Couple of rags in Spain claiming that we are very close to signing Gabi Veiga from Celta Vigo. Has played both 6 & 8 positions in central midfield, is a “classy” player who arrives in the box at the right times and likes to burst into spaces. They compare him to Bellingham quite a bit… haven’t seen too much of him tbf. plays against Barca at the weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 This summer is going to be a shit show for info. Hope is absolutely right, as usual, the club's name will be used by agents and selling clubs. The problem is that the local lads no longer get anything from the club, unless it's nearly done or it's in some way beneficial to us. You're pretty much relying on well connected journos to the selling club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 1 hour ago, greydos said: Interesting point on player’s wages. The agent takes their percentage not just on the transfer fee and/or signing on fee, but also of the entire wages throughout the contract. So if an agent is on say 10% commission for Tielemans, the agent will pocket £20k per week through the contract at £200k. What? Is this true? The agent takes a percentage of wages. That’s absolutely filthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best info is either going to come from someone connected to the selling club (a la Isak) or potentially one of the big national/international guys (e.g. Ornstein). The latter probably more likely if it's a big deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had the chance to sign him for £9m it’d be a bargain but on a free with a £9m signing on fee rules us out? i can see the wages being a problem but don’t see why this should.

He’s been watched by Man City/Arsenal for months. The timing of City’s move for Kovacic and Arsenal ruling out sale of Smith Rowe could be significant. Perhaps they have both cooled interest, leaving #NUFC with a free run at Veiga." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to sign the player from Celta Vigo, at the moment. ?✨ #transfers No club has triggered clause or agreed terms with Veiga yet. It’s still open. Feeling remains on Premier League as most likely destination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly true in the case of certain agents who are currently arguing over the rights to a prem player’s contract. He’s pretty high level and they have a number of players on their books so likely very widespread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our knock on the door is different these days because our product is so much better. We don’t pay premium wages like City/Lpool/ManU which will ultimately stop us attracting the very best I’m sure we have - the pif don’t get to be worth as much as they are without learning how to deal with money grabbing businessmen.
