I can only assume his popeness was lured by the promise of meeting JC, probably not the one he was hoping for.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Must've been gutted - was probably really looking forward to meeting Johnny Crumplin.

I bet the club are happy about all this speculation as they can quietly go about their business with no interference and sign a striker that has never been on the radar. Time to draw a line under this epic drama ( yes, I know will be checking this thread in 20 minutes)

IF we have made an offer, how do you know that the club is 'wasting' any time on this? How do you know the player isn't interested?
We, on NSC, are the only ones wasting time on this....and 99.9999% of what we've written is pure guesswork. That's our fault, not the club's or the player's.

Justice for the 96...
I suspect that divining the true intentions of Mr Calleri would probably be beyond even Benedicts powers of deduction...

Indeed. We need Luther to get involved. He'd sort the blighter out.

I think there is a great chance that this is exactly what is going on (both the real target being under the radar and us all checking the thread!)

Not seen such Bravery!
If the offer never existed, it doesn't need to be withdrawn.
Why is the time wasted if that time investment is needed to land this sort of player within budget ?
Are you suggesting the club only try to sign players we can sign with little effort? We employ many people to recruit players - let them earn their money.
Just because this particular agent can't stop touting - to no current effect - should we wave the white flag and give up on ambition ?

The rumour of a move to Atletico Mineiro for 6 months seems to be gaining some traction on Twitter now.

Argentinian report now saying Jonathan Calleri set to join Brazil's Atletico Mineiro. Club 'not convinced' by structure of #bhafc offer.
Would guess it's in relation to the clauses and add ons, we wouldn't pay them $10 million up front, we'd pay them over an extended period of time, perhaps they need the money now to reinvest. However, if so it's strange they'd agree to loan him out given his contract runs out next year...

Maybe translates as the payment plan isn't convincing? Which maybe means that a large part of it is in promotion and/or sell on clauses.

Increasingly, as suspected, it looks like the 3rd party ownership issue is something that is getting in the way.
Presumably we'd have to do separate deals with Boca, and whoever owns the other 15% to allow him to actually play for us? I'm guessing they changed the rules in the light of the Tevez/Mascherano fiasco.

They would be loaning him out but selling to an investment group, so wouldn't lose out on any money when he leaves them in the summer.

They sell him for $12m to an investment group and bank their share of that. The investment group do the deal with Mineiro and sell him to Inter in the summer.
All over for us I guess. Wonder if Balanos is back on?
