Fernando Llorente - ST - Athletic Bilbao (54 Viewers)

Waste of money for 4 months service of a rusty, not so-good striker.
And if he is cup tied, this transfer is a sabotage.

Don't most clubs announce negotiations?

I don't recall Samp announcing them when we signed Ziegler, or Napoli with Pazienza. Seems to be a mix.

Foreign clubs tend to do it more. The Turks are mad for it.

Milan didn't with Pirlo either

I don't think Marotta is obligated to tell the club, is he?

 

[Nicholas]

FIFA rules no?

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

OK, now that I know he isn't cup tied, I can actually see Beppe trying to seal this before the end of January.

 

[ZoSo]

I am fairly certain he would be allowed to switch competitions here.



Ignore the dates, I took this from the UEFA rulebook.

So he isn't...hmm if we can get him for a decent price then I say buy.

I think he does it to avoid having hostile relationships with clubs, spent a lot of time trying to patch up the Berba-Viola fiasco.

This forum is messing with my brain, because I instantly associate the word "option" with "obligation" now.

UEFA. It's their competition.

Espionage.

@Salvatore

I meant regarding us wanting to sign Llorente.

 

[Villarato]

4.5 minimum.

He wants 5 - 5,5 M.

 

[Vlad]

I think the reason behind Bilbao announcing it publicly is to attract interests of other clubs in a race for his signature and to force us of paying now if we want to avoid competition.

Oh right, it could be. I thought clubs were free to talk to players no matter what when their contract is expiring like this.

 

[Maddy]

it'll be a lovely signing. credit where credits due. good job paratici and conte.

@Nicholas, unless it is to make the move permanent in January. Which would make some sense given his eligibility.

Okay.

 

[Klovn]

So how much they say?

Okay.

Wouldn't surprise me if we're looking to bring him here now, Bilbao might be wanting to stir up an auction by announcing it.
