Transfer Rumour Malick Fofana

[Nymzee]

It still blows my mind he wasn't sanctioned with racism or whatever for that.

It was dumb but Lukaku is of Congolese descent which is a region which sort of helped create modern day voodoo religion.

YOWSERS.

That's not his agent

Wasn't it

Not going to debate this but it was straight racism imo. Maybe it wasn't malicious racism but try saying that in a bar about someone on a table next to you. You'd be lucky to get out of there alive.

What's racist about it??

Ah those beautiful, simple days when managers who took bungs would buy off a players family to ensure they signed for their club.

Its the agents openly taking bungs today in the form of commission, after playing one side against the other fir weeks, for their own benefit- not the club nor the player. Takes money from football. Is that somehow better?

Just pay it then

Yeah if it is true then pay it and move on to the next stage, convince the lad to join.

To this day I’m convinced Raiola (his agent at the time) told Moshiri something along those lines to close and debate about extending.
Lukaku threatened legal action, but then didn’t follow through.
Zlatan (also managed by Raiola) took the piss out of him about it in a Milan derby.

For all Mosh’s faults he’s not uneducated, I just can’t see him making that up out of thin air and putting it on record unless there was some substance to it.

We shouldn't be waiting on this guy when the manager has said the pace of things is too slow as it is. Move on to the next target or we'll lose them.

I am assuming either
1; we are no longer in for him and have moved on
2; he has indicated he is up for it and we are negotiating

We wouldn’t just be sat there doing neither

I see Romano is hedging his bets again now then. It was pretty much a done deal a few days ago. Must be close from dropping from tier 3 to tier 4 now i reckon.

I didn’t say anything was better, you did! I’m fully aware of the issues in modern football, but your post was a bit of a mad one, praising the simplicity of being able to give and take bungs but bemoaning greed and money in football doesn’t make a lot of sense really.

The Friedkins have form for ‘walking away’ from a deal and then returning.

Don’t expect to be free from ridicule if you’re citing dreams and talking about destiny as your reasoning for wanting to breach a contract.

….be a bit surprised if they’re even involved, thought they tend to let people get on with doing the job they’re employed to do.
