He wouldn't have to do it for us, our ownership do not hold players hostage if they want to leave, as they know it's completely pointless. I can't recall who from the leadership said it, but one of them said we won't stand in any players way if they want to go.
We've created a buzz and momentum. Genuinely hope we get a couple of top attackers in aswell off the back of it. Great to get defence and midfield sorted but we lack top top pedigree in attack at present.
If the club received a low offer in the future and the player then went on strike to get that move, would that be fine?
KLD being a better owner than Donald has broken him
This isn't a low offer though. 30 odd million for a 27 year old defender at a mid level Italian club is fair.If the club received a low offer in the future and the player then went on strike to get that move, would that be fine?
All hypothetical anyway, haven’t even signed him
Exactly the point I made in my original post. There’s no need to go on strike. It’s a good offer. Personally wouldn’t be that pleased if he went on strike to force a move but that’s just me.
I have often wondered what this reply meant.
Obviously SAFCs mantra includes the caveat that the offer has to be reasonable and sensible. But I don't find these hypothetical fantasies useful, I would judge each situation according to the many nuances and merits.
Very classy public response from big Jhon’s team. Compare and contrast to that shit head up the road.
Sounds like the statement of Xhaka's agent!
77 on fifa and 136 on football manager. dont hold your breathGiving how much time and effort has seemingly went into this, if he does sign I expect him to be incredible.
Usually edited for comic effect.
Is this a serious point?
Some of That… but mostly This!
They'll have amended the original quote to something they think more correct/appropriate/funny, denoting the subtle change by saying they've 'tidied' it up for them.
