Sandro

[Jammy89]

He's off to Spuds today then

It's getting ridiculous the attempt to sell him by the press and to be honest his agent.

It was City in Jan, Le Arse for 2nd half of the season, Manure since the season ended and now it's Spuds.

They want to talk to him before any offer to see how he feels - **** off. Put an offer in. You don't get to tap him up to try and drive a price down.

Even the spuds analysis bloke struggled to say how it would be done.

- Sandro has 3 years left on his contract.
- We paid ?55 million for him.
- We will want a healthy profit on him.
- The most Spuds have spent on a player is ?65 million, they are know for not want to go much beyond it.

You are not getting Sandro around those figures, not when Forrest are rejecting ?120 million bids for Anderson.

Personally, cynic in me says this is a move by the cartel using Spuds as a flusher - see what numbers we'd be willing to talk at etc.

Whilst I do agree he may leave - it'll be to a CL club.

Also, Spuds need a full squad revamp and the wages to pay top players, they'll lose most of it on Sandro if they do seriously go fo him.

The fact that the team that finished 17th 2 seasons running are even in the conversation shows how corrupt the PL spending rules are.

If he goes, it won't be to Spurs.

But, currently, we're not a destination, we're a stepping stone, like most clubs ,so if he wants to go, get the most we can and invest it wisely. He's a fantastic player albeit we missed Bruno more when he was out, and I'd rather he stayed but we don't want a player who doesn't want to be here.

Mind, we don't know if that's the case. Agents only ever act in their own best interests, that's literally why they're agents so it could be that it's him who's stirring it. Tonali is staying quiet because he would like to stay but also wants to further his career which, let's be honest, is on hold here for at least a season so I don't necessarily blame him.

Spurs finish 17th the last 2 seasons yet can spend obscene amounts as usual the whole thing stinks.

Just to pick up on one things. Sandro's contract is until 2030. So 4 yrs, not just 3 mate.

Romano's brown envelop from Sandro's agent this morning.

Roberto De Zerbi and Fabrizio Romano know each other and maintain a close professional relationship within the football world.

As two high-profile figures in Italian and global football, they have established a strong network connection over the years.

Their dynamic is built on several key factors - Direct Reporting and Inside Information:

Romano frequently breaks exclusive quotes and behind-the-scenes details regarding De Zerbi?s career moves.
For example, Romano extensively covered De Zerbi's departure from Olympique Marseille and provided the earliest, most detailed updates on his contract negotiations and appointment at Tottenham Hotspur.The Shared Italian Network

Both men are deeply embedded in the Italian football ecosystem. Romano's primary scouting network and agency contacts are heavily centered in Italy, where De Zerbi built his reputation managing clubs like Sassuolo. This shared background makes direct or indirect communication standard practice for verifying news.

Transfer Market Collaboration: As a manager, De Zerbi heavily dictates club targets. Romano routinely reports on specific players De Zerbi is "desperate" to sign or keep, such as his pursuit of Sandro Tonali and Jan Paul van Hecke, which requires regular information sharing between journalists, agents, and club staff.

When a player of Sandro's profile and quality is linked with a club that finished 17th twice in the last 2 seasons, just because a compatriot of his has become the manager; a manager who doesn't make it past 24 months in any job he's had in his entire career, the only response is Jammy's response.

It's a pathetic state of affairs from the MSM and the cartel shills.

Sandro's agent is desperate for a payday and failing spectacularly. As you mentioned Jam, Arsenal in Jan, City & The red filth since.

I'm amazed the bindippers having been thrown in the mix. Conspicuous by their absence, Bizarre really. When do you think their name will be thrown into the hat, to complete the set? Shall we start a book? hahaha

On my travels recently, I bumped into a few lads, professional agents and a guys who are the mandated Barcelona & Real Madrid Middle East commercial Partners.

Dropped them a message regarding Sandro to Spur. Only 2 of the Agents responded.

First - Text reply: "Spur? Ha, no."

Second - Text reply: "More likely to be Real or back to Milan"

The Real Comms. Partner pointed out to me that Jose is 'gonna clean house'.
Camavinga is out and a few others, as part of at least 6 players who have been told to find new clubs.

They want to sell at least 2 first team midfielders.

Real Madrid can afford Sandro and he would be perfect for them.

As for Spurs. It's ridiculous. Spurs don't have that kind of cash. Again, Jam, bang on the money, they have to buy 11 first team players.

All that being said. If this universe is the one where Sandro Tonali actually does decide to destroy his career by moving to Harringay then the man has zero ambition and clearly has given up on a career of success and decided at 26 to cash in on his status.

The man will go down considerably in my estimations like the Belgrano, after the support he received from the city, fans and club during his ban for one. Second, because it show a clear lack of ambition.

Going to Madrid, I understand. Returning to AC Milan, makes a lot of sense. The guy has said he wants to go back to Italy.

Last time I checked, N17 is a long way from Northern Italy. Much like the Red Filth of Manchester. Sandro's agent might be sh!te at Geography but clearly he must know the difference between Lancashire and Lombardia. It's about 958miles different.

I don't think the term 'Stepping Stone' is the correct. Newcastle United are a developing club. Under Ashley, absolutely stepping stone.

Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton are your perfect stepping stone clubs.

Whilst they are competitive they do not have ambitions to become a stable elite Champions League club competing at the top table of European football.

The journey that NUFC is on is different. Yes, a set back and we've debated to death but this summer, the next generation of players drafted in will see the club 'go again'.

Fergi built many squads in his tenure at the swamp, Mourinho at Chelsea likewise.

A mate of mine is convinced that the season ahead, with the right recruitment, 1 game a week, NUFC can win the league. He got 65/1 odd and put £500 on it. If he's correct he'll win 32,500k.

It all depends on who the clubs signs.

Getting a smooth pre-season training camp and hit the ground running will shut up a lot of the bed wetting Eddie out hysterics.

People have already started to debate when he'll be sacked next season. First International Break? Second? Christmas?

How can any of those people consider themselves fans when the Chairman and whole board have confirmed they are backing the manager for the season ahead? It's just disappointing.

I don't know why people waste their energy on negativity over a decision they have absolutely ZERO control. I don't know how they have the time or the energy to be so filled with rage and hatred for the decision makers at the club.
