Because Marseille said we didn’t even contact them and then later the OM President (below) said we didn’t even bid in an interview. It could be lies but it’s the only quote from either party on whether there was discussions between the clubs. We may have found out his fee through his agent but we have have not as well but again that’s speculating. The only thing we know is that we didn’t bid at all based on what the President said. So if we didn’t contact them or bid, we wouldn’t know how much they were willing to accept…that’s how it sounds like that.

Interesting! Does that mean Marseille wanted even more for Guendouzi I wonder. Also, Google translate gives me "willing to" as opposed to placed a bid. Going back up the page, Sociedad could say they received no official bids, but it doesn't mean we weren't right up in their grill.

Teams talk a lot of shit @DCJonah This journalist claimed we did trigger it. It's certainly an exciting if super random link. I mean it's all speculative, but just a very random claim to make. However, I do think we'll be investing heavily in the French and Spanish markets, but whether it's Merino, only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only fans who seem to even know who he is are Arsenal fans because he apparently reported the mesut ozil move to them before anyone else. Should be noted that that was a long time ago and they also have him in tier 4 right now. Edited February 4, 2023 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we offered anything near 60 million and sounds like we never even made a bid. He will probably be available for about 40 million in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 What did (or didn't...) merino do in his time at Newcastle? You look at the state of their midfield pre oil money and if he's struggling for games there something is up, can remember him joining but nothing from him playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
