They allowed him to speak to clubs and now he's saying he's not for sale. I'm not buying it .. please have faith!!
Jimmy, you're only like 1 month late on this VVD prediction. Is it happening anytime soon? Reckon you'll have won the league by the time this happens. Ditto with Keita XD. Whoever you're ITK is,you need to give them a big slap
Benedikt #Höwedes is considering to leave Schalke and is in contact with multiple English clubs. He could leave for €20m. (BILD) #s04
And so it it should be if: a) This is being done over Jurgen's head. b) They're accepting anything other than £130m cash (no ****ing swapsies or staggered payments). Got nothing against Ford even now (though he has shafted us by changing his ****ing mind mid-July when it's practically impossible to replace him), but the beef is with Barca. They'll be back again year after year if we don't make a stand now. besides which, we don't need the money (unless it's to re-develop the ground). NOTHING has changed since this time last week =- but that unfortunately includes having a spineless ownership.
It's because he's now for sale for 70-80 mil and wants out. Ralf wouldn't have said what he did if this isn't the case.
If he goes it won't be down to just their spinelessness though, their greed will be the major factor. I just want it sorted one way or the other, it's gotten mind numbingly boring.
But you can see why from their moneyball perspective. Bought £10M (approx). Sold £120M (approx). It vindicates their whole approach.
Too many people trying to shape scanty evidence to fit their pre-determined conclusion, imo. Wait to see what happens, and hear all sides of the story before getting the lynch-mob together.
It would if they were punters at a racetrack in Boston, but playing moneyball with an iconic football institution in England is a no no with the supporters.
They'll have nice suits with size 9 boot marks on their arses if they don't get the Couthinho situation and the remainder of the transfer window correct.
Yeah and with the Barca comments today my guess is Coutinho is done and Keita replaces Fine by me, just get it over with and then get a CB
RBLeipzig cannot make their mind up about whether to sell Keita this summer or next. Selling him next summer will see them, losing minimum of £M20 which is not good business.
