This, I agree 100%Originally Posted by pv4
Call me stupid or crazy but I think it maybe tactics. Blind Freddie can see we are desperate for defenders and clubs can use that as a negotiation tool against us. So if we link ourselves to all these strikers make us seem like we're not after defenders may drive down the price when we enter negotiations for defenders.
Make sense to me just hope I'm right.
IMO a world class CB takes a good 15 goals off our against column...
best get 2, takes pressure off the attack that teams will now be able to break down.
Lambert signed. Official
Not bad for 4M.
Was hoping for a few more pre workd cup. Most players probably hoping their stocks rise
Moreno medical is getting organised. Lallana has apparently told Soton he wants to leave but not so far as a formal transfer request yet
4-5m for Lambert, even considering his age, is an awesome signing. Good story that he's a former Pool player too. Good work there!
OK
I think it's inevitable he will leave.
Just out of curiosity, what effect does a formal transfer request have? It's made out to be some big thing. But does it force the clubs hand in any way? Or is it basically just a I don't want to play here, I'm not gonna play well if you keep me. Seems a easy way to lower your value.
Usually when a player is transferred both the player and agent are entitled to a small percentage of the transfer fee(around 5% I think), if a transfer request is submitted by the player he negates his entitlement to his percent of the transfer fee.
Also it's a PR risk too if a player comes out and puts in a official transfer request then ends up not getting a transfer not only will it upset the fans but who wants to play with someone who doesn't want to be in the team.
Thanks Premy. Assumed the PR would be a bad move. Eg Suarez saying he wanted to play for Madrid. All but putting in a request.
Didn't know about the fee though. To be it would lessen his value in the market. Knowing that the club have to get rid of him.
THere is also the loyalty bonus that long serving players get as a part of their contract (if negotiated). A formal tranfer requests negated this because then the player has instigated the move, not the selling club. Usually the buying club will offset this of that's the case.
Rumour doing the rounds in Uruguay is Luis Suarez to Man Utd for squillions
Similar to reports over here, media will do anything to sell a paper this is one of the most ridiculous reports ever.
Wouldn't sell him to the mancs for more money than the glazers can leverage against all they own....wouldn't sell him to anyone for anything for that matter.
absolutely nothing more than trying to sell papers
no true united fan would want a bar of him anyway
true? no such thing and yes they would. be just another step in buying the comp back
Had a better season last year than ronaldo's best at man utd, in a worse team. all would be forgotten by his 5th goal or so.
we will loose
no true united fan would want a bar of him anyway
You're a funny man, parksey.
OK
It ain't happening.
They ain't selling to another EPL club, especially mid table fodder like United.
i would genuinely rather die
