Pretty sure they all know that (or at least when they were ripe to be raped). The fact is , they have been very successful at getting replacements (just as good) with a third of they money they have made. Now they don't need to sell cheap they are playing hardball and you will have to look elsewhere or find your own talent.
They're not being asked to sell cheap, where on earth has that idea come from? Just because the whole asylum has gone even crazier over the whole Neymar/Coutinho lunacy doesn't detract from the fact that we were prepared to pay a ridiculously high fee for a CB months ago. I think the player's antics are ****ty, tbh - and it puts me off him to a large degree, but I can't see how trying to keep him there is going to benefit their club. I don't think they've covered themselves in glory at all. I'm not sure anyone has.
Lets not use the word rape to describe what happens.. might just offend people . More suitable less offensive words to use.
Has VVD actually dont an awful lot wrong? Club have told him to train on his own and didn't include him in the tour squad. He's not gone on strike as far as I'm aware or said he will never play for club again. No one is going to come out of this looking good I agree, but I'm not sure VVD has done an awful lot wrong other than say he wants a move like hundreds of players do every window. Does make me laugh that you never see players hand hand in a transfer request these days though, it's all just talk.
Maybe not in your opinion, but they are expected to sell a player for less than their valuation of him (or maybe just don't want to sell him). If that is too much just walk away.
Oh yes. He's been a total prick (if all that we've been told is true). He has a contract and he should honour it in that he should hand in a TR, forgo any loyalty bonus, and continue to do his best for his club until such time as it no longer is his club.
I was trying to have a serious discussion, but you obviously want to continue playing silly buggers so I'll say goodnight.
They could buy a premier league winning team with the money we've given them. They've no excuse to not have won with that much money thrown at them..
Dunno that other team from the NW who play in red were pretty good for a while And I don't remember keepers being able to pick up back passes either if that's what you mean
