Player Watch Player Watch: Cristian Romero

[dirtyh]

My concern is over wages. Atalanta don't pay massive wages, so Dao may be out of their price range.

am sure if that was the deciding factor we'd probably work in a 'premium' into the deal to cover the difference, or a discount on the player for the same reason.

William even proved that theory wrong

I don’t think the shirt photos were done, he pulled out just before signing the contract. It’s hard to get too excited by players we are linked with because of the past. I’m sure lots of team’s fans can say the same thing.

Hopefully Sanchez can be included as rumoured.
Couple Colombian players there already, CL football, situated near Milan. Wouldn't be a hard sell for the player.

Doubt they could afford his wages tbh

I think its just because we now follow every single step on the internet it always feels like a war of attrition.

Bit different to getting a small bit of info on teletext back in the day.

It's amazing how 1 day you're in advanced talks with someone then the next he's gonna cost to much money!

Can't see Sanchez being used unless he is only worth 15-20m euros. Romero is getting sold because they want a profit from what they bought for him for (17m). Can't see them taking a worse defender and 20m for their best cb

Just to give some clarification on this, he was a name I was given over the last few days. Due to the nature of my source, I will naturally get info a lot later than some of the other very good ITK on here so often you will see me confirming whether reports on a player are true etc rather than throwing out names that aren't in the press yet. We are looking at several options at CB but Romero is someone Paratici has a lot of time for and we have held talks regarding him. As has been mentioned, Sanchez is available this summer and is being touted as an option in some of these deals. To summarise, nothing groundbreaking but this guy is a serious option and what's more, he would actually join us.

To confirm what I mentioned last week again, Paratici is impressing behind the scenes. He IS being given the freedom to run the footballing side of the club but of course DL naturally is being kept in the loop regarding finances. Paratici has an unreal set of contacts and he apparently really doesn't stop working. I think we will start to see some incomings and outgoings over the next 7-10 days ?.

Also, a very good friend of mine has a very good chance of landing a job at the club and if he accepts, he will be the closest contact I have and I may then get info earlier. I've been pestering him everyday to accept.

You’ve just been ‘followed’

Sevilla are happy with it.....

Sevilla haven't just paid 17m to get Kounde

We do not know what the state of Atlanta's finances, and like many clubs Covid may have devastated their financial health. If they can get Sanchez, relatively young, fast international CB and £20M to either balance their books or invest in other areas of weakness they have, it could be a great deal for them.

Also, another way to look at it is they would be effectively swapping £17M for Sanchez AND £20M.

Gollini, Tomiyasu, Romero and Ings would be a fantastic basis for the window. Another centre back, a midfielder and a winger look like they could potentially follow if we shift who we want to.

Would love Vlahovic over Ings personally as fits the profile of the others. Love these young prospects as we have developed some great players over the years.

 

[Wsussexspur]

Never done until they are holding the shirt. Especially with us.

Exactly! learnt that from years of over excitement from rumours of deals being close to only suffer the disappointment and frustration when that deal doesn’t happen.

Carlton Cole did I believe. The one that got away
