Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3558232, member: 8770"] We really wouldnt have bothered if Citeh walked away. Even if we get left with an unhappy player, we wouldnt have backed down, he wouldnt have forced our hand no matter what. As i said, we have never let a player dicate to us, and tbf, they never have to because we always do the right thing by them. I'm honestly not convinced either it came from Nunes agent, who is Jorge Mendes, to tell him to have a hissy fit. Not sure if you are aware of his ties to us. He's got a very close relationship with our club to the point where is practically an advisor to our owners. He He's friends with our owner and chairman, and Foyo are part shareholders in his Gestifute group. Foyo are a part of our owners Fosun's conglomerate. Mendes would have got the deal done, he's always done it for us even if we overpay for one player and get say a Moutinho in for 5 million. Makes zero sense whatsoever for a man who has had such a tight relationship with us, and helped Fosun buy the club to instruct Nunes to act like a dog over it. No sense at all. We had definatley got signings planned before this sale. Every player we sign you can just go onto our website and see the scouting process that went into getting these players, from the first time we scouted them. They are pretty open with all that. The only issue would have been time frame. [/QUOTE]
