Gawalls Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) 2 minutes ago, LFEE said: By speaking to the players agent and the agent relaying it back to the selling club. Which still means there could be a deal to be done but sky wording it to sound like it’s not as far down the road.

Conjo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Gawalls said: How do you register an interest but not make an offer? Do you ring them up and say “I like him”? We could have informally agreed on a price but its not formal - perhaps we were wearing jeans. Ashworth ring them up and say "I like him teehee" then hang up before they can respond on the other end and giggle together with Howe and Eales who's sat next to him. Probably still about 2 weeks away from building up the courage to ask Barnes if he wants to go steady with us. Edited July 9, 2023 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like when they say “they’ve made a dramatic offer” - I imagine them entering the office with a marching band and trumpets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd picture a call saying "we offer you 100 billion quid". Be quite dramatic. After some thought you are probably closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean you're going to buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 4 hours ago, The College Dropout said: Which team does it originate from? the phrase reminds me of Arsenal and the Arteta project. The Philadelphia 76ers and a General Manager they had about a decade ago. The process was multiple years of blatant tanking to collect top draft picks.

Cronky Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I think there's a delay because Leicester would like to start an auction, but the player has made it clear that, of all the candidates, we're the only one he's interested in. We then feel we can afford to bid low and wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
