I cannot for the life of me imagine that we’ve been negotiating this deal for three weeks but blindly ignoring the image rights elephant in the room.
Surely this issue was shop window front and centre from the beginning.
Absolutely no point agreeing fees and terms if the imagine rights were such a mess.
I can imagining agreeing everything on a house purchase, legals etc and then finding the land is owned by someone else.
Why pursue an impossible deal.
I guess we had to try
The statement would have been unbelievable tho. Disappointed but this one was above and beyond expectations
Until a fee can be agree with Juve why would the image rights people even talk to us? Maybe the legal issues just got more and more complex the more we looked into it? Maybe goalposts moved and the figures were just above our limits (i.e. wages went above Kane).
I don't really think we can knock the club on this one, as tempting as it is to have someone to blame. I'm looking at Dybala's old agent/Star Image to be honest.
