Interesting. It is possible that on the night when this agent was there the talk was that City had missed the deadline and that's what he's saying now. I remember hearing that Silva left the training ground around the time when Assam Allam turned up, so maybe he thought it was all over at that point too. Also news of the appeal didn't start until Thursday adding weight to the possibility that only then was it first mooted that technically enough of the paperwork had been sent. This might just be wishful thinking, but as Tigerite says; "But I have no idea how he can know about the signature for Salibur, unless he's HIS agent as well (seems unlikely)."
Maybe Silva was told one or the other but not both. Let's face it we're just guessing and never likely to find out the truth.
Yeah that interview on SFR sports is the one referenced by @GFFN where the whole "has fallen through" blew up.
That was aired on a programme on SFR sport this evening. I wouldn't trust it as it sounds to me like a load of gibberish.
wondered how long it would take someone to spot that. Yeah, there are two Paulo Tavares, both are also Portuguese
Personally I can't help laugh at the guy in the huge charity shop glasses who rubs his beard near the start, probably the French equivalent to Garth Crooks.
