What's new

Alex Sandro

Conte doesn't seem to have the pulling power for some reason or other. Champions of England, champions league football, biggest club in the capital, big wages on offer... Yet still players are choosing other clubs... :|

 
One more month Tom and you can change it to "did we sign Alex Sandro this window? No" 

 
They wanted matic we sold matic to Utd that tells me that no deal was reached so this was a fuxk off to them, if they were going to give us Sandro we would hold on to matic as a bargaining chip not sell a player they are intrested in while we are courting Sandro, deal is dead.

Yeah, I can concur with this. I'm not that optimistic that the board can pull this anymore once rumours about Drinkwater are popping up.

The board is getting desperate

 
At Allegri's press conference yesterday he stated not only that Alex Sandro is staying at Juventus but that the player is happy to do so and as a result he is definitely not for sale.

We need to focus now on the main two alternatives that have been discussed here in recent weeks. 11 days to the start of the Premier League openers..

 
That's if we bid that high.  It's a monumental fee, and we know how tight the board can be at times.

I think we will get him, can't see Juventus turning down a £70m bid.

Have we even made a bid though? All this talk in the papers for weeks and weeks, but nothing about an actual bid. It's like Lukaku, we were linked for ages, but the only time we were ever actually reported to have made a bid, was at the last minute.

 
It's all gone quiet since Morata hasn't it? Apart from the Drinkwater interest which no one really cares about.

It almost feels like the calm before the storm...

 
Transfers in:
Morata (Add ons included) = £70m
Bakayoko = £40m
Rudiger = £34m
Willy = Free
Spent = £144m

Transfers out: 
Ake = £20m
Matic = £40m
Chalobah = £5m

If we add in Diego at 40 and assume we actually want to progress not just break even spending another 100 million shouldn't really be a problem

Problem is 100m is only going to get us 2 players at most if we want to land Sandro as one of those players.  Only leaves 30-40m left which in this day and age will probably get you a Danny Drinkwater.

I think what happens a lot nowadays is there tends to be a lot of 'backdoor' negotiation through the players/clubs intermediaries such as agents and other representatives. No official bid would have been made but I imagine there would have been a lot of talking to get a feel for the general interest of the player and a rough estimate of what price the player would be available at. 

At the moment it doesn't look like it's going anywhere so I imagine we'd need to step it up a gear soon; make some more noise in the press or put in an official bid to get things moving properly.

You forgot about Costa.  Throw in the Oscar money and we can afford 2 top quality players and a couple of decent backup players with change to spare.

We won the league last season, Nike Deal and with TV money we should have more than enough to spend even without player sales.

 
I'm getting on the Dalbert hype. This guy will be the next Sandro in a year or 2 if he goes to Inter, let's get in on him before his price sky rockets.
