Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

[Dr Know]

I’m amazed we aren’t trying to sell our unwanted players to the Saudis.

They’re rich not stupid………although the two go hand in hand sometimes

Levy is missing a trick here as they are lying over the odds for players and can offer them high wages.

Sanchez would be perfect for Turkey to rebuild his confidence but if not, why not try and get an offer from them?

Lloris, perisic, would be good moves financially for them and adds kudos to the league.

Just surprised none of our players are being linked.

The Saudi's have no interest in our players because they have nothing to gain by giving us money. They have investments in teams like Newcastle and Chelsea and are basically just bankrolling their own teams.

Chelsea and co do all sorts of shit and no one bats an eyelid. We have a fairly niche transfer and everyone piles in. Same as always.

I wonder how we'd feel about it if Sanchez did want to go there over other clubs (as unlikely as that may be) and we were otherwise happy with the deal but chose to block it on ethical grounds? I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to leave it up to Sanchez. A bit of a storm in a tea cup for me. I've not seen anything to suggest we are forcing him to go there.

I mean, this is something that has to be answered if Sanchez does wind up there. Its a very fair issue that the club must answer to. If the club were smart, this would already be a non-issue but this is also the club that was stunned beyond belief when Paratici was banned so I imagine they'll wait until the government comes knocking to look into it.

Don't take it personally. This is just the war that's currently important to Western media, and therefore also everything connected to the two countries.

I'm sure they'd make a story out of us 'stealing' a player from Ukraine and selling one to Russia as well.

 

[WiganSpur]

I get the moral outrage given the last couple of years from the position of the club selling to a Russian outfit, but I would be properly shocked if Sanchez agreed to go there. He earns nearly £3.4m a year, he's only 27. He could easily say no, sit on our bench for a year and then would have a wide choice of moves as a free agent in 12 months, similarly, he could say no and Spurs would loan him to a lot of clubs just to get some/all of his wages off the books.

I don't think staying here for a year with no European football as 5th choice defender is going to be appealing for Sanchez. He might not play a single minute and he doesn't strike me as the kind of character who's only interested in a pay check. But yeah, i'd certainly be looking to leave it as late as possible to see what comes up. Even if that's a loan.

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

Can't blame him for not wanting the Spartak move. I wonder what his choice is.

 

[bbunc]

Good for him. His prerogative.

hopefully one of the other teams will put in a reasonable bid

Why were we even negotiating with Spartak Moscow when taking any form of Russian money right now is a long and protracted saga, even if legit.

Other clubs are interested. Talk to them and be done.

Staggering, woeful incompetence from us in the transfer market as per.

Sets a price for the rest of the market because we knew he wasn't going to go there.

Downtown Moscow was hit by air strikes (drones got shot down) today, no way in hell is he gonna be going there

 

[Wick3d]

Sod going to Russia. If he refuses, I do not blame him at all.

Wasn't it reported that he has refused to go to puttinland???

 

[danny32]

Wasn't really on IMO, Spurs probably wanted to establish a price, I think 15m euro was agreed.
I can't see too many others paying anywhere near that.

 

[Albertbarich]

Don't you dare sell to those Russians but quick take the Saudi money!

Ok.

Ok.

this is not happening in Saudi Arabia

 

[Wick3d]

I mean, they do have an active conflict with Yemen. My issue is Russia's current risk of regime collapse compared to Saudi Arabia. Russia is significantly more unstable, and from a safety point of view, it isn't worth the risk.
