Humpty 3,238 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It’s just the reality of the situation. If Fulham have the same level of interest, we don’t have much leverage. Link to post Share on other sites

London, Silva and the money factor will play too big a part you'd imagine. It's not that simple though, they still have to work within FFP with a new manager wanting his own squad and it seems they couldn't meet an agreement with flamengo, likewise with Al Nasr. They're both arguably bigger draws for various reasons but doesn't mean they necessarily can do a deal I don't expect we will sign him but it's certainly not impossible just because others are interested Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,396 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Interesting. Not overly excited as it's just a random foreign player I'd never heard of before the links, and who has barely kicked a ball at senior level, but it's still fun to be having negotiations at neutral locations. I hope it pans out as it's something different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't pretend to know Fulham's FFP situation however i'd hazard a guess that they've got a lot of wiggle room as they've just been relegated. That given, if they're seriously interested the odds are stacked heavily against us. Link to post Share on other sites

Other potential options are Al Nasr and Fulham. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,870 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The bright lights of London's West End and a penthouse pad or all those take aways on Linthorpe Road. Tough choice for the poor lad to have to make. Joking aside, for an older player with a family there is a lot to offer around Rockliffe within a 40 minute or so commute time. For a young lad thousands of miles from home in a strange country and a language barrier my guess is that London would be a far better option in terms of culture and just the psychological fact that Heathrow is on his doorstep. I can't see places like Harrogate, Durham or even York being of interest to him socially. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

There's a good reason Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are also interested. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm all aboard having him as a potential signing, and if we sign him I'd love him to smash it, but there's also a reason that a Championship club is his most likely destination rather than those two.

It's also interesting that despite the stereotypical criticism Warnock gets on here and elsewhere that we are chasing these types of Players. It indicates a possible longer term strategy for the Club and an openness and willingness on the part of NW to plan for life after he has gone and to not leave a squad full of ageing overpriced mercenaries. Instead preparing foundations to build upon. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
