duke313 Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Surely has to happen today. Longer this drags out, a good chance it will fall through. Not a good look if we lose out on two Sporting Director's in the space of a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there a good chance that this will fall though if it doesn't't happen today? & why does this have to be completed today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good look if we lose out on two Sporting Director's in the space of a month. It could be that we're not in a massive rush to get him in if we've got all our targets lined up and haven't yet reached the bottom of our list. I imagine Emery could have had an off the record chat with him, as friends do, to discuss some players. There's probably a point at which we'll want to confirm it, but we'll play it calm until then. If Monchi doesn't want to pay them off on a matter of principle, I doubt we'd force the matter. Could just mean we don't get him in for 6 months. That obviously is too long, as planning for winter window and even next summer will likely have already started, or be starting the second the season kicks off.

sparrow1988 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Article from before the 2016 EL final. Don’t know if it’s already been posted here so apologies if so. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/17/sevilla-monchi-liverpool-europa-league-final “Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo is running through the team written on the paper in front of him, smoke rising slowly from the cigarette in his right hand, a Coke bottle on the table. Andrés Palop in goal; a back four of Dani Alves, Federico Fazio, Martin Cáceres and Adriano; Ivan Rakitic, Júlio Baptista, Seydou Keita and Christian Poulsen in midfield; Luís Fabiano and Carlos Bacca up front. All men he signed, for little over €25m (£23.5m).” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I wonder if Sevilla will waive his 3 month 'ban' in his contract since we are paying for his clause? Maybe that’s what the meetings have been about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) If we’re prepared to pay the release clause, why would Sevilla still be looking a 3 month hiatus? Possibly to prevent us signing their targets? We’d probably already have our targets for this window identified.

I’m sure Monchi and our recruitment team/Emery have spoken already about targets etc. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the summer window now.

They won’t be happy that knowledge is going elsewhere, particularly at the time it’s most useful Edited June 15, 2023 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect headlines are all thats reported in his contract, and that detail is still to be ironed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 As a few have mentioned already, it's obviously reaching a point of just dotting the ì's and crossing the t's amongst a few other bumflufferies to be ironed out. He will be here before we know it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
