First tried to sign CD in the summer after Burnley were promoted with the Foxes in 2014. But Jeremy Peace kept putting up the price although Dawson, not then a regular, was keen on a move and even watched the Clarets in a pre-season friendly. Didn't Jay Rodriguez start his career at Burnley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to sell him in 2012 when we were more skint than we are now. Received 7 million pound notes from Saints. Very popular on the south coast - especially with Brighton fans.

MC Prussian Posted 14 June 2018 Share Posted 14 June 2018 Arsenal close to signing Sampdoria's Uruguayan centre midfielder Lucas Torreira. https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/14/arsenal-plan-speed-26-4m-deal-sign-lucas-torreira-7629855/ I'm slightly jealous.

Tielemans63 Posted 15 June 2018 Share Posted 15 June 2018 £25m for Rodriguez and Dawson is decent business in today's climate. Rodriguez is a terrific player. Shame he's had so many injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird really, you could've just had him move to somewhere like Stoke first and then pick him up for 10p and a Wham bar to the same effect.

The Bear Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 Yeah he did, along with about 5 or 6 others now. Wolves and Mendes have given Patricio the best employment lawyers in Portugal. Apparently Sporting will struggle to win their case based on what I've read. And even if they do they will only get compensation for his transfer fee, which we previously agreed to honour anyway if Carvalho resigned and Oatricio returned to the club. Win win situation for us. One of these similar cases ages ago took years and years to conclude in the courts. Sporting are ****ed basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I just said above, we agreed to honour his €18m fee if they could sort it all out between themselves. That was all agreed before he resigned. He had a medical and agreed his contract but Bruno de Carvalho upped the price at the last minute because Mendes was demanding his €4m owed from the Adrien Silva deal from the €18m. We refused to pay more (Chinese businessmen are sticklers for honouring a deal once it's agreed). Patricio was upset at this and forced his exit from the club by terminating his contract. He desperately wanted out as he fears for the safety of his family. All the other players followed suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 He used to be one of those ultras himself. If he was behind it then it was more than likely a ridiculous power play trying to show the players he has the power and can get to them at any time. Doing it right before the cup final was a bit stupid though. Then after the attack he basically blamed the players and told them to stop being victims. Unbelievably the fans are still behind him and also blame the players for the performances and constant complaining about their treatment. He spent the season slagging them off and threatening to sell them this summer so they've turned the tables on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 19 June 2018 Share Posted 19 June 2018 Hello, Wolves! There‘s a talented Algerian striker that could be yours for little money. Tall, strong in the air, rather quick and able on the ball, too. (Just want to spread the Algerian fanbase for Slimani over two Facebook pages) Or alternatively, a Nigerian winger/striker who‘s lighting up the Russian Premier League at the moment.? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 19 June 2018 Share Posted 19 June 2018 (edited) Badly written. I meant clubs other than us who are in the Champions League, obvs! I've read the main reason he has come to us is that Wolves have agreed to cover all his legal fees and future compensation if Sporting win their case against him (which they won't). Other clubs wouldn't do that apparently. Edited 19 June 2018 by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
