Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3558252, member: 9651"] All the stuff about Mendes is lovely and I'm sure most of it is true, however you hit on the key point here. Agents get a huge cut of any transfer deal. With the money that was on the table for Nunes, I'm sure it was in Mendes interests to see if the player was interested. If there had been any sort of indication from Nunes that he wanted to stay put, the talks would have been shut down real quick. Ultimately I think if it had been a Liverpool or Spurs that had come in, the outcome would have been very different. As I said from the get go, once City have their eye on a player, there is very little that can be done to stop them - you guys were valiant in holding out for the right price but their pull is enormous. Not many other clubs have their resources, let alone the attraction of Pep and guaranteed trophies. Nunes did his part. If he did nothing to make it happen then you guys likely hold firm. As you say yourself, the time you had to sort out a replacement was far less than ideal. We're more than likely going to see something similar unfold over the next few weeks with Salah as Saudi throw massive cash at him to try and force Liverpool's hand. [/QUOTE]
