Adrien Posted 30 August 2016 Posted 30 August 2016 Disclaimer: I'm a Sporting fan. You know that thing you did to Mahrez? Despite the player's will to leave, Leicester assert their interests and refused to sell their best player. Leicester is entitle to that. Contracts are made to be respected. That's exactly what we're doing with Adrien Silva. He is one of the top paid players in Portugal. He renew is contract six months ago. He said he didn't want to leave the club. Some weeks ago he told the press that he wouldn't leave until he could get to be champion. He is one of the fans favorites. He is our captain. Not letting him leave is not being dicks. Is to preserve the club's rights and to protect the clubs best interest. Just like you did with Mahrez. Don't get me wrong: I think any player is free to wish a better wage and to play in the Premier League is an understandable dream. But the will of the club is always first (ask Mahrez...).

Difference is Mahrez got an improved contract which matched the offers of his suitors and subsequently trebled his wages. What is the likelihood of Sporting being able to match our offer? (I'd guesstimate circa €100k).

I agree "dicks" was a bit harsh and I've changed it to "difficult" Your president comes across quite "difficult" that's all!

What is the likelihood of Sporting being able to match our offer? (I'd guesstimate circa €100k). No portuguese club can pay what an english club can. That is for sure. As I said, can't blame a player for want a better wage. My point is the respect for the contract. As I said Adrien is on off the top paid players in Portugal (1.2m€/year) and got a lot of money in the last renew (6 months ago). Sporting has the right to refuse as Leicester would have with Mahrez even without a wage rise.

chapero82 Posted 30 August 2016 Posted 30 August 2016 32 minutes ago, Hack said: Why are you always so depressing. I think you can put money on both coming. Silva has made it impossible to stay with his interview. Slimani made it clear with his departure from the pitch that was his last game for Sporting. All this other stuff is just face saving from the Sporting chairman and press pushing anything and everything. Expect both deals before the deadline and the players after the arriving after their international duties. Probably because I suffer from depression after tragic life events maybe?.... Anywho Si really hope we get these guys in just glad we only have to wait until tomorrow night to find out

I agree with the sentiment, but as we found out with Kante there is no loyalty in football where money is concerned. If you refuse him his big ticket transfer and a massive pay day you'll end up with a sulking player who doesn't put any effort in and causes issues amongst the other player's which can't end well.

He may be a "model pro" and all, but it'll have an affect on him and others around him.

Not necessary. Two years ago the same thing - or worst - happened with Slimani. He tried to force the move (to Leicester btw) and the club refused so he faced a disciplinary action. Guess what? He continued to improve so much that he has became the monster he is today and instead of 15m€ he is now worth twice that money.
benpicko Posted 30 August 2016 Posted 30 August 2016 Whoa there wait a second, West Brom bid 25m for Carvalho?

He may be a "model pro" and all, but it'll have an affect on him and others around him. He will lose the armband if Sporting think he's not fit to be captain anymore. William Carvalho is ready to replace him in that position if it's needed. I don't think he will be unhappy - he loves the club. Of course he will be frustrated but I don't think that will affect his performance.

I understand where you're coming from but it's different circumstances. I can't see another club wanting to pay him the sort of money we are offering plus image rights at the age of 29/30. Therefore there is no incentive for him to improve. Add to that the fact that he has the chance to join the Champions of the highest profile domestic league in the world and benefit from the exposure that brings, then now really is the time to move if he wants to push on with his career. Being totally honest, even if we were to keep up our interest for the next couple of years, in all fairness I don't think we'll still be considered Champions material by that stage, nor do I see the likes of Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, etc. being interested in Silva at that age. Sorry I know it's not what you want to hear but I really don't see what options Sporting have now that he has gone public with his wishes. Surely it has to be damage limitation from here on in.
Max Power Posted 30 August 2016 Posted 30 August 2016 His agent has admitted he isn't going to go for less than the release clause? We won't pay that
VIKTOR-LE5 Posted 30 August 2016 Posted 30 August 2016 10:16 SPORTING SAY SILVA IS STAYING Adrien Silva might think he is heading to Leicester, but his club, Sporting Lisbon, don't seem so sure. They have released the following statement. "The player renewed his contract in February 2016 in a deal involving significant sums of money, making it absolutely clear that the extension to his contract would mean that Adrien Silva would say at the club until the end of his career. "Never during recent months has anything been said to the president or has any proposal been made for the transfer of Adrien Silva and the president has not met with the player's father or representatives for that purpose. "Sporting CP and its president will always defend the interests of the club and will also defend the club's assets." Source:Sky Sports
