No point in agreeing a fee with the club if you have not already agreed a contract with the agent/player.

Which you can't do (legally), without having a fee agreed first.

Is that not illegal?

Depends, if you ask for permission to talk to a player and it is given then yes, you can agree a deal with a player before the club. Alternatively, the seller says our price is x and if you match that you can then talk to the player.

I think you can if given permission withn the club. Often players agree terms and deals fall through because the two teams can't agree a fee. I guess it depends how quickly the seeling club wants to get the deal done.

Sauces not sources

So there's nothing wrong with your spelling, just your sense of humour. Do you really think we need shit like that?

From Tehran Times:
I will consider offers from Bundesliga and La Liga, says Jahanbakhsh
Tehran Times Sports Desk

Iranian international winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh has not decided his next season’s team but stated that he will consider offers from the top European leagues such as German Bundesliga and Spanish La Liga.

“I have still one year left on my contract with NEC Nijmegen and there are some offers and rumors about my future. I will think about the offers with my agent and I will decide my next team when I return to Holland,” Jahanbakhsh told in an interview with Fars News Agency.

“I have to choose a club which improve my football so that would be a difficult decision to make. Any football player would love to play in German Bundesliga or Spanish La Liga and I’m not an exception so I would definitely consider offers from these two leagues,” 21-year old added.

Doesn't sound like he's joining us to me.

Seems like he is after top flight somewhere, not second level. Am still hoping it happens though.

 

[Zebedee]

Move on I think. There is nothing to see here. I can't see any way he'll sign for us. Why would he if he is interesting top flight clubs?

Game time is the only thing that could swing it. Question is do we have a big PERSONALITY anywhere in our recruitment team that could sell him the Albion? Not sure that I can think of one but then I don't know who out recruitment team are now tbh

I think we might sell the club by trying to make players feel we are doing them a favour with our fantastic facilities and big crowds. Just a gut feeling, nothing to back it up.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I assume he's been over to see the facilities over the weekend. Surely we'll know either way soon?

 

[sydney]

**** him off....waste of time...!!

Given the 'typical' footballer I suspect those things come into play when the wage differential is fairly negligible.If we're off the pace of what he can get elsewhere (which, given the clubs named appears we would be) then I can't see it matters. Regardless of the splurge punted at signing, 'money talks'

This is the crux of it, for me.

Obviously the signing of CMS didn't work out as everyone would have hoped or expected, but the fact that Gus managed to convince him to sign here ahead of other, arguably better offers, is something that I don't think the club could accomplish these days.

Poyet managed to talk them round , but i guess CH is a different type of salesman

Competition: FC Groningen, Heerenveen, Club Brugge, Standard Liege, Anderlecht. This was before we made our bid.

After last season, I am not sure we can compete?

Without checking, I'd guess a few of those clubs could offer European as well as top-flight football?

As the saying goes "Don’t count your chickens before they hatch."

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Its ALL about the money.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is sadly living in cloud cuckoo land.

And yes if we were offering say double what the others were (despite higher leagues, european football etc) then we would still get their sig.

The only bit of possible good news is that AJ's agent came over to England to check out our facilities and the stadium etc. Which shows that his agent thinks it is possible for him to come here, and he didn't just tell us to piss off becuase all these other clubs were interested. Why would he take the time to come over here if he was going to sign somewhere else?

Not that it shows a done deal, but it gives us a chance anyhow.

I like the look go the lad from Sheffield Utd took Clyne to the cleaners last season

 

[Eeyore]

The point I see is that Albion are clearly serious about building a strong squad and forking out if needed.

The problem is all the other buggers who want the same players to improve their teams.
