What's new

Renato Veiga

Such a strange one this guy. Apparently he made it clear a long time ago that he wants to leave for good, ever since he went out on loan. But the funny thing here is that just some days ago, an owner of a club in the Romanian League said he was proposed Veiga on low wages two years ago, before his move to Basel, but they refused to sign him, although Veiga was ready to come and was only waiting for the final "ok" from the Romanian club.

From almost signing in the 3rd world of football in the Romanian league, to signing for Chelsea just a one year later, become a part of the Portugal NT and then want to leave Chelsea after one season, for me it is plain dumb.

Can't say I blame him for not wanting to Romania whether he is (or felt to be) too good for that level or not! I don't expect that competition to be crawling with football scouts to pick out the talents, or with coaches from the Portugal squad for that matter. And not fancying his chances in a 80 man squad with a coach that keeps picking the usual suspects regardless of recent minging performances, also quite understandable. He wants regular playing time with the World Cup looming.

Veiga wanted the move to Romania!

It's why I was saying that from almost joining a dross league, to then join Chelsea and then want to leave, it is a bit strange. If he was proposed to a Romanian club by his agent, clearly he was not that big of a deal before joining Basel. Then he hit the jackpot. I'd have stayed at Chelsea waiting for my chances. Even if he was to be given little to no minutes in the next seasons, it's not like he was going to join some 3rd tier club after that, he'd still be viewed as a Chelsea player with lots of options to choose from if he were to leave.

 
We've done well there, hopefully we can press ahead with Xavi Simons now we've got some money in seeing as the Nkunku and Jackson sagas will probably go on til the end of the window.

I don't think we ever knew what Atletico offered, either way, they decided we wanted too much and ended up with that other guy. Doubling our money on a player we had for a year isn't too shabby at all.

I believe the report was Atletico offered 33mill euros, and we asked 40mill euros. They then signed someone else for less than 30mill euros.

There was no mention of a sell on percentage though.

So right now we are 3.5mill euros worse off, maybe 4.5mill if it was 34mill euros offered, I think it was 33mill euros. However Villareal are much more of a selling club that Atletico, and the sell on is "heavy" so we are hoping to make a better deal there.

We do love our pure profit and he cost us 12mill pounds, so what's that 14mill euros, and we got 5mill euros loan from juve? Much as I think they are not the level we need Winstanley and Stewart got a winner on this one.

Thought I read Veiga and Felix sales don’t count under UEFA guidelines or something. Needs to be Nkunku & Jackson.

This all comes back to what the sanctions agreement actually says.

Neither Felix nor Veiga were on the January A list so some have come to the conclusion that their leaving won’t count.

As I pointed out there are several interpretations as to how the agreement will impact .

 
I have to admire this guys dedication to not play for Maresca again.

Anyone else would see the injuries and jump at a chance to make a name for themselves.

They must have had a fall out, I can’t believe if the reports are true you’d be willing to go to Romania or even Villarreal now but not fight for your place a Chelsea.

Maresca has a knack of alienating players, whether it be B teaming them or comments in press conferences(Fofana). Or even the entire squad(not ready/good enough to challenge) last season.

A small quick profit flip for him it is then. All high fives and hand jobs in the boardroom and we can forget all about Kellyman, Washington etc etc etc etc.

 
Reported 40% sell on clause included as well makes that a lovely bit of business.

Do we automatically qualify for the CL if we finish top of the ‘sold for a nice profit’ summer transfer league?

 
All the best! Wish him all the happiness and all the suck whenever we play against him
