Really? Is he though? He's a media personality, he naturally talks up our chances of signing players to generate excitement. These are genuine offers we're putting in for these lads, it's not as though we're claiming to sign Son Heung Min and then he says "oops, it didn't come off". Everybody we've spoken to has said they would be willing to join, but we can't do anything about other offers and when competing clubs like Trabzonspor or Spezia are offering Champions League or Serie A football respectively, it's out of our hands. All we can do is talk to the players and do our bit. Figueiredo had offers from Portgual, La Liga and French Ligue 1,but we managed to snag him.
