    Udinese are supposedly offering £30k per week. Find that extremely unlikely as it would make him the highest paid player in their squad despite him having very little PL experience. For me fake news again.

    I agree it would seem bizarre to be offering him that. Way above his market value. However with the link between Udinese and Watford, I'd be interested to know if Watford would avoid any fees by routing him through Italy. Certainly it allows them to strike earlier than the English clubs in terms of being allowed to speak to them from Jan, but that seems meaningless when his end of contract is almost upon us.

    You’ve obviously failed to understand that RoboManquillo has been artificially enhanced genetically meaning he’s going to be better than anyone before him. And that all footballers are now genetically enhanced to be able to run faster, kick harder, and jump higher than previous generations of human footballers. We now have

    Never again shall I dismiss Manquillo as a bog standard right back, how did I ever underrate this cyborg killing machine?

    I only post what I read elsewhere however don't you find it odd that there is an offer from Udinese then all of a sudden we increase our bid.

    Suggests there was no offer. Agents job is done.

    Also sounds like classic corporate nonsense. No point giving a pay rise unless some hands their notice in. Then try to keep them, if you value them, by offering more cash. It's the standard way to not spend more on wages than you have to. Or at least is in my experience

    Apparently Udinese were going to pay his compensation of 400k and then loan him to Watford in January.

    No, you were told that the consortium can't talk to him.

    In terms of the current owners, they can offer a contract so long as the consortium agree

    It’s nothing more than a tactic by his agent. The lad cannot speak English let alone Italian.

    Apparently he was seen buying Pasta at Kingston park Tesco. He’s clearly going to Italy.
