The_Steve Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Alemany also negotiated the free signings of Kessie and Lewandowski. He’s one heck of a negotiator - especially with the constraints Barcelona found themselves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Call me an old skool cynic but I just don't get excited by stuff like this. Sisu, Purslow....even the general idea of a DoF.....yep, I know footy is a big business and perhaps I don't see the behind the scenes stuff they do....but....I dunno....unless this geezer can bang in 25 goals a season then I just can't get too excited.

He’s the geezer that (in theory) can negotiate the deal for the lad that will bang in 25 goals a season for us instead of other clubs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best talent will eventually head to England and it will dominate European football. Especially with more and more American owners. I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing fixtures played in America and relegation from the league is dropped to only 1/2 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I imagine he has all the big agents numbers on speed dial. It becomes a lot easier for us to convince players to join as we’re going to be at the table for negotiations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 He’s a killer, the number one,” said a source close to Alemany. “Many people shake the tree hoping for fruit to fall. Not him, he goes right up and takes the apple he wants.” Thats exciting to me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I guess that's the DoF's job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewandowski was €45m which is quite a lot for someone in their 30s, albeit he has helped them win the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 He's sounds a ruthless negotiator. Good luck dealing with us now Daniel Levy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 So he isn't working for us until the summer window ends, not ideal. So he won't be working on anything in theory until next Jan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few sources said he’s at Barca until 30th June… might be wrong though, but that would give us the majority of the summer window with him Edited May 3, 2023 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I know nothing about this guy, but it sounds like a big coup. But, hasn’t Barca’s last few transfer windows been a bit of a shambles? Loads of free transfers on ridiculous wages, some couldn’t even be registered for ages, and now looking half of them to take pay cuts or leave. Doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) If he's a ruthless negotiator, who at our end is negotiating his contract? Must be the man Nassef himself. Edited May 3, 2023 by Jareth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that Emery's targets til then are all in place already, and have been put to him and he's liked the names mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
