I am polite so won’t go quote all the Pool posters who wanted Willian, or myself saying I didn’t. That thing stunk from miles away.
Summer window, unless somebody does something stupid, like pay any transfer fee for Alaba during the winter window.
We’re fucked anyway with Alaba and Boateng playing like anus, Sule eating himself into Mario Gotze and Buona Sarr being an outright waste of money. Hopefully the squad uses this break to get fit and quit sucking on defense.
oh wow things must be going really poorly in Munich, let me check the table to see how far down they are...
What’s the deal with Alaba, Bayern just not budging on his wages? Some Madrid writers seem to think Real is prepping an offer in the coming weeks
Correct. We have a wage structure. It’s the middle of a pandemic. We gave him a fair offer relative to the rest of the squad and his agent wants to be greedy. We called their bluff and is now expected to leave.
Everton are being linked with Sami Khedira. We already have a CDM that is perpetually injured on the payroll in Gbamin. If Carlo wants him, I’ll keep my reservations silent. Praise be to Carlo.
Like Banks said, we originally offered 4 years at 16mil plus incentives, which would put him below only Neuer and Bobby in the wage structure. His agent pissed and moaned in the press that they want 5 years at 20mil plus incentives. Brazzo came back with same money but added a 5th year player option. Agent says the offer sucks and not only are they sticking with a 100mil total contract value (balls deep in covid lockdown at this point) but the agent doubles his bonus request. Brazzo comes back with the exact same offer, but adds a deadline. Deadline comes and goes, agent still up in the press, offer gets pulled. Unfortunately for David, whom I genuinely love as a player, his form has been trash this season and I really don’t see anyone investing that much money
He switched from his dad, who was awful, and switched to Pini Zahavi, who also reps Lewa. All he wants is a higher fee for himself and you’ll remember that when Lewa was negotiating his deal, it was non-stop RM rumors. This is Zahavi’s M.O.
Just seems like he priced himself out of Bayern, and is now potentially* pricing himself out of one of the places he can go *If the stories are to be believed
That’s been the issue all along. Our board gave him an offer with no “Corona Discount” and warned his dad at the time that only a couple or three clubs could match their wage demands and that Bayern wasn’t one of them.
I admit I don’t really pay attention but to Tony khan seems like he is another in the long line of trust fund baby imbeciles who think they’re a lot smarter than they are
He’s just some Italian reporter who used to source random Italian shit, some South American, at about a 3% accuracy rate. Must have made some agent friends.
He’s clearly connected somehow, previously this site collectively could have been more accurate than he was.
A close friend on mine was the Jags marketing director for 10-15 years, prior to Shad acquiring them. He "retired" within 6 months of their arrival in Jax. mostly because Tony was an insufferable, all-knowing cunt.
texans are going through the same shit right now after bob mcnair died and his son took over the team. my brother in law knows the son and his wife. apparently the wife has a nanny whenever she is with the kids. at one swim meet she made the nanny hold an umbrella over her because it was sunny.
