Alexis Sanchez (official).

Yup. Never quite got that either.....

The idea that players sulk and under perform if made to stay is talked about too much. It generally doesn't happen, especially not with a character like Suarez who is obsessed with winning. If he's on the pitch you get 100% commitment.

Yeah, in most cases the players just get on with it. I thought Suarez would have thrown a major strop last summer since Liverpool broke their contractual agreement and word regarding his release clause. Then you also have Bale/Spurs as another example. They milked Real for every penny. Then blew the lot on magic beans.

I never get this, isn't agreeing personal terms before agreeing a fee tapping up?

I would have thought agreeing a fee with his club should be the first thing you do, bit of a waste of time if they don't want to sell.

Things must be so loose in football, nobody is willing to drag the affair out in court. What we did with Cole didn't really work. We still had an unhappy player on our hands that ended up going to Chelsea anyway.

Maybe clubs are working with the agents and it's not tapping up unless the player actually meets with the club reps. Who knows. All BS.

It doesn't serve the players purpose to 'sulk' for a year and churn out dross performances because that doesn't keep him as a desirable asset for the next club. You might still get a club but the biggest clubs are fickle and their attention span is short for players not playing well.

I agree that it is often overplayed and telling a player to to shut the fuhk up and lump it is something that has been long overdue over the Arsenal.

I suppose the club gives permission for the player's agent to whore his arse around the place. Or it's written into the contract.

In most cases. But then there are the Tevez types who don't give a shit. Depends on the player.

The latest is that we have agreed personal terms with him but not a fee with barca.

Currently our offer is less than pools.

No surprises there then tbh.

Are we still letting this Dick Turpin or whatever the fuck his name is do our dealings for us. Pay the extra bit Dick, you prick. Is he some kind of pensioner that still thinks a pint is a few bob.
