SecretPro Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 City would probably bottom of that list in stature
Bagworthblue Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 i'm so glad a lot of you lot aren't on our negotiation team . You must remove emotion. He is a commodity we want and there will be an outer reach we are willing to pay. Beyond that, it will have to be referred to the board. The mere fact all these other clubs are suddenly interested at the very time his agent is awaiting our final offer will most likely be an attempt by such agent to drum up some 11th hour leverage to get the best deal possible. How many times do you hear of 'clubs' trying to railroad a deal at the last minute? How often does it happen? Very rarely as very rarely is there any genuine interest, just a frightener to lever best terms from the club you are finalising a deal with.
HoustonFox Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 I ignore everything in the Turkish media, they always seem so ridiculously positive around themselves. Everything is always "We're going to sign xxxxx player", invariably he goes elsewhere and they sign Darius Vassell instead. Babs, normally I would agree with you on this but they called the RVP transfer to Fenerbache pretty early and there are always one or two big names that go for Champions League and a final big pay day. My Turkish friend says they don't have loads of cash but are going crazy now to keep up with Galatasaray and Fenerbache. Thinks he could go there but NOT ITK!!! They did just sign mario gomez and quaresma

The difference is normally the player is keen for the move, in this case he wasn't initially so his head could easily be turned.
artursteppe Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 For weeks we heard that N'Golo did not want to come to Leicester - not the impression he is giving now. This time it is his words not an agent or some French news rag. Just maybe the same is true for Inler.

Anyway it will be what it will be but I think this one will take a while.
MC Prussian Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 Babs, normally I would agree with you on this but they called the RVP transfer to Fenerbache pretty early and there are always one or two big names that go for Champions League and a final big pay day. My Turkish friend says they don't have loads of cash but are going crazy now to keep up with Galatasaray and Fenerbache. Thinks he could go there but NOT ITK!!! They did just sign mario gomez and quaresma I wouldn't call them overly positive, but somewhat hysterical and there's a lot of faux news floating around over there. The passion on the sidelines transpires onto the media and Social Media in Turkey.
Bagworthblue Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 The difference is normally the player is keen for the move, in this case he wasn't initially so his head could easily be turned. yes if indeed there is genuine interest from the other clubs. I maintain that I don't think there is. However, I'm not close enough to make that call - If our negotiation team is experienced, they will know the score and not react with an improved or over the top offer - Yes this will protract the negotiation potentially and there may be a period of standstill as the passing of time without a response will be used as a technique by his agent to get us twitchy As fans this delay will piss us off as we all want the thread locked for the right reason but I would expect the team to have a good feel for the situation and ensure they close the deal with as less financial outlay as possible without putting the deal at risk. It's a bit cat and mouse but if we just throw money around, this will become well known in the market and we will pay above the odds wages and heightened terms for future players too. Trust me, I work in similar circles in a different industry and all the agents will be in close contact and build a profile of clubs between themselves taking advice from one another as to how far they should / can push.
Bagworthblue Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 i will just add a little reasoning to my post above. Why all of a sudden when their agent is in the UK talking to us do all these other teams come out of the woodwork... They all have their own scouting networks and have identified their own targets. You don't leave it until the last minute to come in and try to do a deal for a player on your list when you could have missed the boat... You don't suddenly become aware of his availability if you have been doing your job correctly. Besiktas - I believe they have always been interested and may well have placed bids but I don't think he has shown any interest in playing in Turkey and I thnk he has been on record saying that. West Ham / Schalke - both have openly been after an experienced midfielder - My guess is that these reports have been leaked as leverage. None of the others appears credible.
dpjfox Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 as much as id love this to happen its unlikely hes coming here
Bagworthblue Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 There is however an alternative possibility - as the agent is here without the player, we could actually be the leverage for a deal elsewhere. don't you just love my disclaimer that sits me firmly on the fence :-)
Molly Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 There is however an alternative possibility - as the agent is here without the player, we could actually be the leverage for a deal elsewhere. don't you just love my disclaimer that sits me firmly on the fence :-) Or the agent could secretly be talking about another of his players with us !
ARM1968 Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 Or it could all be really straightforward and he's finalising Inlers terms. Not rocket.
VLC86 Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 Or it could all be really straightforward and he's finalising Inlers terms. Not rocket. Yep, and this is actually the football forum of a completely different football club.
Molly Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 Yep, and this is actually the football forum of a completely different football club. Which club?
ARM1968 Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 Oh sorry. Thought I was in Foxestalk. I'll check next time.
Bagworthblue Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 Or it could all be really straightforward and he's finalising Inlers terms. Not rocket. i would agree.... if the player was over here. Does he have reason not to be ? I ask as i'm not sure. I find it hard to believe Inler will sign without coming over here for himself to see where he will be playing / living etc. If talks are close to final, then I'd expect the player to be coming over.
ARM1968 Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 He will need to for a medical. I guess his agent is sorting the boring stuff and will report back when it's done.

I find it hard to believe Inler will sign without coming over here for himself to see where he will be playing / living etc. If talks are close to final, then I'd expect the player to be coming over. Maybe the agent wanted to see what the club offered before wasting his clients time. He's probably assessing the club, facilities etc...and if he likes what he sees and hears then I guess Inler will come over. If he's not impressed, or doesn't think its right for his client then he'll head off and Inler won't waste a trip. Just a thought.
Bagworthblue Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 He will need to for a medical. I guess his agent is sorting the boring stuff and will report back when it's done. i think my point is that the agent is here on a fact finding mission at the very best, and if the terms are good enough to consider, then the player will come over and decide. i.e nothing is close to being resolved at this stage...
