Keyblade Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 11 minutes ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: So ROmano saying PSG made a better offer than us, and nothing is signed yet with PSG but it's close? Do you reckon we will make another offer or we should just leave this one? I'm not sure he is worth beyond a certain level of stupid money in fairness! My idea was that it being a free, would have made him a great pickup. However I have no doubt we have alternatives lined up which may even suit us better long term. If we have to offer him more money to entice him, maybe he's not the one. Money shouldn't be the deciding factor between PSG and Villa. There are plenty of footballing reasons to choose PSG (or arguably even Villa/the PL). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of talk out there about how good Mendes and Campos relationship and I think the two have been dealing with each other longer than Mendes has with Sawiris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we have been used like this in the past but with NSWE now running things we are a much more effective and efficient outfit and it is hihgly unlikely that we would tolerate any such antics, imo.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I don't picture Unai as the type to take too much dossing about either, regardless of who the player may be, or how much he wanted them. He will value himself ( Rightly ) as a top Manager, of an exciting project, and will want people who are all in. Unai doesn't seem to dither about with regards to decision making at all.

I think Mendes used us to get him better terms with PSG, apparently he’s been offered €10 mill salary. Ok. im if the mind with transfers you ask who you like, offer for who you like, pay what you like…. then it happens or it doesn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
