I guess we have a working relationship with the Pozzo family (own Watford also) so who knows?
Doubt we will go for him. His dad wants a few on top of the agent earning fee. Supposedly his dad is pissing every Italian club off who have tried to sign him.

Great. So they will work out some way that Dad gets a healthy wedge another way. This is not going to happen.His father is his agent, so his commission will be limited to the max allowed by the FIFA cap.
Family members are no longer allowed payments from transfers under FIFA rules, unless they're a licensed agent. And even then the FIFA agent commission cap will dictate how much they can demand.
Having done a bit of Google-Digging, the transfer to Inter seems to have collapsed for a number of reasons. The father has a different story. The super agent (pictured below) agreed the deal with Inter and Udinese without the consent of the player or his Dad (allegedly). It seems she was feeding Fab the whole convoluted story but without the necessary permissions.Great. So they will work out some way that Dad gets a healthy wedge another way.

We don't do January; we don't do PL ready players; we don't deal with dodgy agents. Looks dead cert to me.Having done a bit of Google-Digging, the transfer to Inter seems to have collapsed for a number of reasons. The father has a different story.

So we didn't sign Locadia, Ulloa or Knockaert in Jan. Or Estupinan, Joao Pedro, Veltman, Welbeck, Milner or Lallana or many others who were premier league ready. I'm pretty sure we've had many dealings with "dodgy"/awkward agents in the past too. All it really comes down to is whether we see value in the signing, the team want to sell and whether the player wants to come. Things none of us know without working for the clubs recruitment teamWe don't do January; we don't do PL ready players; we don't deal with dodgy agents. Looks dead cert to me.
Spot on, suggest we have had tricky situation to deal with when signing some of our SA gems.So we didn't sign Locadia, Ulloa or Knockaert in Jan.

And FIFA have developed and rolled out a completely perfect and infallible brown envelope detector, have they?His father is his agent, so his commission will be limited to the max allowed by the FIFA cap.

Er... we do all of those things if the deal is right. We usually sign young players in January (Mac Allister, Buonanotte), we've signed plenty of PL-ready players (Pedro, Gilmour, Veltman etc) and we do deal with dodgy agents (Caicedo). We also have done loans (Colwill), which were perceived to be a no-no.We don't do January; we don't do PL ready players; we don't deal with dodgy agents. Looks dead cert to me.
