I have only made one of these player threads before, and we actually signed him. Unfortunately, it was Osvaldo.... So this is another Argentine, and as always with these windows, we get to see some great foreign articles which can be badly translated. Reports of an increased bid of 17million Euros. http://www.ojogo.pt/Futebol/1a_liga...d&utm_campaign=Feed: OJ-Ultimas (OJ - Ultimas
Oh balls, beaten to it by the tightest of margins. Hopefully the same won't be said of this transfer. Hey, at least Al got the thread title correct too.
If that's the figure then, despite their difficulties, he's worth more to them as a player than a saleable asset. Or don't they get a say in the sale?
Poor old Sporting. So many good players come through there, and on to the biggest leagues, and they make far less money than they deserve. Interestingly, our CB partnership could both be ex-Sporting.
Could even negotiate the fee with Doyen Sports, so that Sporting get more of the fee, and Doyen still get that huge profit.
Don't tell the mirror, they are already drafting the article on how Fonte and Rojo don't like each other because of the Benfica/Sporting rivalry
Just been speaking to a Sporting fan. He says if SCP can get €4m-€5m for their 25% of Rojo, then he'll be a Saints player. He thinks Rojo would come to Southampton, and has also said that they've signed a few new CBs already...
The most they can get. They rate him very highly but accept they don't have a great negotiating position due to only owning 25%.
