Alex Sandro - LB - Porto (3 Viewers)

[Klin]

Quality LB available on the market and not many suitors atm, which could change if we dont act quickly.

Both Real and City wanted him. He is also rumored to have rejected City's 4M wages per year. This wasn't that great of an opportunity. We simply paid the price for quality. That's how we got this player. It wasn't a stroke of a genius.

I still cant believe we pulled this deal or very close to closing it.

Me too. We were actually willing to pay the price for proven quality. Who would have known transfers could work this way for big clubs, huh?

Anderson but "we don't do business with Lazio". Ofc we do business with Bayern who have been calling us cheaters for the last 4 years

How can you be so sure that Lazio will sell him and to us of all teams for say €40m ?
This guy had a better season than Dybala and we paid €40m to acquire the latter.

What makes you think that Anderson is even available? Not only has he not been linked to us, but I don't think he has even been linked to anyone this summer

Those teams could outbid us, but fortunately they have other needs and FB positions arent one of their concerns atm. So it is kinda opportunity in this context.

 

[Robee]

And they did outbid us... He's not getting 4 mil/ season.

Lazio never intended to sell Anderson and his price would be way more than 40m. EPL or Spanish giants could be his next destination.

Get this guy and no money left.

Bye bye AM, see you next season when we try to reconquer Scudetto we lost to Roma.

I won't be too bothered if we don't sign this AM "if" we sign aWC full back like Sandro.

For once I really hope we can sign a top notch full back in his prime years.

I won't rush into thinking we'll sign him yet, remember what happened in Draxler's deal ?

We agreed terms with the player and everyone thought he's virtually ours, and then the whole deal collapsed.

They did outbid us. He chose us.

So we are wet dream for players these days.

Yes, like Gotze.

 

[Vlad]

Yes, like Gotze.

Doubt we've ever met Bayern's asking price.

Gotze is terribly overhyped tbh, perfect for EPL in this repect.

Serves me right for discussing things with you.

Real is covered on the left side, no? If they offered 4m I cant see him refusing them.

City on the other hand always has to offer premium salary if they are looking to poach players, unlike Juventus, destination where most players aspire to come one day.

 

[Xperd]

Some impressive baiting going on here

Serves me right for discussing things with you.

Bastard as always

Wow. What happened to Marotta ?? we overpaid to get a quality player.

This is a good deal, we may very well overpaid but we got our first option for LB and for many may years to come

 

[blondu]

So, what is a correct price for a left back ?

it's not the value of sandro i'm talking about...it's the cheapness of our board via draxler/gotze etc.. we're splasing 20 mils just like that but for cam we didn't had money. interesting
