Transfer Rumour Malick Fofana


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.
Maybe not to you. But youre assuming the same doesn't go on now between the extra layers of complexity that have been added - between agent and player and agent and club, and club and agent. There are 3 times the possibilities for creative accountancy, should any party desire it.

In this, I'm assuming that in a business that has become so much more about so much money, our morals haven't improved any.
 
We should never be anyone's second hand rose.

I'll be annoyed if we're still hanging around like that weirdo on the dancefloor when the lights go, looking for a wrongun to take home.
Every club bar Real Madrid is a stepping stone.

If we hold ourselves to your understandable but sentimental standard, we'll be going home virgins forever. Pure and untainted. But lonely.

Like I've already said once, i'm not assuming anything of the sort. I have not said, nor suggested, that things are better now. I was just making a jokey comment about the idea that there was no greed or money involved in signing for a club because the manager bribed your parents. It's really not that hard to understand to be honest.
 

…..its clearly difficult for us acquiring in-demand footballers who have plenty of options and it appears we’re in the market for in-demand footballers.

When there’s options, players usually go to the club they most want. This lad looks the real deal, good that he was identified but not looking like he wants to join us.
 
A reporter tweeting that we'd like to sign a player but ideally they'd like to sign for somebody better than us really doesn't make us look or small weak at all. Caring about how a reporter's tweet makes us look on the other hand...
We should just move along onto the next target instead waiting round for him to decide.

If me expressing how I feel makes you cringe then I can't help you unfortunately 😂

But I'll bear you in mind next time I post anything slightly cringey.x
