is that official!!

im not sure it is, would we really write “get his head right”

doubt it, more like “focus“ I smell another rat

I am a 52 year old man. Catching the news about his post just before I go to bed should not keep me awake with the injustice of it. But it did. Explain that to a non football fan.

I'm 20 odd years older than you and knew I shouldn't glance at my Ipad when I got into bed. It took me an hour and a half after that to put it down and get some sleep.
Football is a passion.

Again, I don't have a problem with RDZ generally speaking but I'm also not one who'd buy scented candles smelling like his farts. The man has flaws like everyone else and his big mouth is not doing the club any favours, imo.

And why would you really care? I’m honestly surprise you are still here.

 

[goldstone]

One reason for his interest in leaving now rather than waiting until the summer may well be that both Arsenal and Chelsea are showing interest and signing for either of them would mean he could live in London. If he waits for the summer both clubs may well have signed other players and he is left with the Manchester clubs or Liverpool, and who wants to live in either of those dumps? Just a thought.

 

[y2dave]

I just can’t see Arsenal making an offer that convinces us to sell in January. That said, I wouldn’t rule out Chelsea taking advantage with a creative offer that involves Colwill and maybe us keeping Caicedo on loan through to the summer.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

See Trossard and Cucurella - As soon as a player effectively downs tools - which seems Caicedo has done if he hasn’t turned up for training today - it’s only a matter of time before they are off regardless of contract length. Normally a short period of time too.

We could of course just keep turning down bids. We won’t though.

We won’t keep turning down bids. The strategy is to sell at our undisclosed price. If Arsenal (or anyone else) match it then they are gone. The player downing tools is irrelevant and gets more irrelevant with every transfer fee received.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Except that he's on c. £25k/week according to the list @Bozza shared

It was a bit tongue in cheek.

I feel so depressed now, I was really looking forward to Sunday…..

im not sure I like the Premier League anymore

 

[folkestonesgull]

I'd offer him a new contract, same length but put him as top earner with others and a release clause for a champions league team of £100m from June...
Gives him a massive income boost for 4 months+ whilst making it clear we will sell.
German clubs often seem to take this approach.

You mean like you are with Potter?

Problem for Cucurella is he downed his tools and forgot where they are.

You mean pay his ransom fee.

Seems unlikely.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Well he can f*** off then - either to the reserves or whichever club for £80m!

And this is exactly why players put in transfer requests or play up. It allows the owners to sell the player without getting grief from the supporters. If Trossard was a hardworking model pro and then sold for 27m, we'd all be peed off with TB and the rest of the club for sanctioning that - way too cheap, why are we letting a great player leave now? But because we're flinging the blame at Trossard many are saying we got a good deal. It's clever from the player and his agents.

 

[TugWilson]

The Caicedo family could do with hiring an agent to deal with Caicedo's agent

You mean a hitman ....right

I'm a bit the same. It's definitely taken the excitement away from tomorrow and I suspect we may struggle. To be honest, I'm just sick of selfish people in general - in football: players, agents, journalists and clubs but generally in life everyone just seems to look after number one and screw everyone else. Thoroughly depressing.

 

[RandyWanger]

Contracts don't mean anything to these agents and the media don't seem to care either. Wonder how it would go down if say when Jakub got injured, he decided his contract didn't mean anything to us and we stopped paying him?

If he wants to leave, we won't be getting his services so don't let him train in our award-winning facilities and leave him out in the cold. We still won't be getting his services but we will sell him in the summer, make a killing on what we've already invested in him, his fee and salary and we move on.

Moises has been ill-informed here, his agents got this one wrong. Side show and Dross were in different positions and we came out on top in both of those.

It really doesn’t become irrelevant. Would suggest it’s naïve to think otherwise. We simply aren’t going to put ourselves in a position - if our price isn’t reached - of having a player a disruptive and unhappy player sat on our books not playing and losing value.

The only thing which is in our favour is that this feels very agent driven and we might be able to re-integrate him as the window closes so soon.
