Mabye not a ‘problem’ but it’s not ideal him saying we are a steeping stone and that in 3/4 years he wants his client to be at Madrid etc, it’s one thing saying about turning down Bayern, it’s another altogether basically disrespecting us saying we are a stepping stone.

We want to be back in CL challenging for it and for all trophies so we don’t want to be seen as a stepping stone.

Classic agent behaviour but he needs to keep his mouth shut a bit.
Realistically when it comes to Real Madrid every team is a stepping stone to them. Even historically huge champions league winning teams like Manchester United or AC Milan or Bayern Munich don't keep players when Real Madrid want them. If he has played well enough for Real Madrid to want him then I think we have done very well with the signing.

I'm not saying that I would be happy for him to go but I just recognise that when Real Madrid want their man, unless he's Kylian Mbappe (who might still end up at Real) they usually get him.

We've hired weta to use the smaug model and have him cgi fly over the Allianz arena, destroying it with his fire breath, round the top of the spurs stadium, circle the cockeral on the roof, use fire on the cockeral to melt away the famous "dent" leaving it perfectly fixed, then land on the pitch and morph back into human form with the number 6 shirt on his back and he gives us a cheeky wink and his best "mate".

These things take time ya know.

I don't think losing a player to Madrid is a negative if they leave for the right fee. It's the pinnacle of football. I wish Kane had gone Madrid

Comes in to check if deal announced yet and sees he's already off to Madrid. Was a good signing while it lasted.

Looking forward to his interview. For some reason I’m expecting Vicario levels of awesomeness.

Would imagine they will announce Dier leaving first and dedicate some exposure to his time here before moving on to Dragusin.

And therein lies the problem with aggregators and why the moderators don't like them. The agent didn't say this. I've posted what he actually said and it wasn't anywhere near as bad. But now it's reported as fact.

Still a bit of a loudmouth but he will be gone soon if he keeps spouting off.
This is the actual quote no which says exactly what I said that he sees his client at Real Madrid in 3-4 years.

Good to have ambition but disrespectful to us who his client has just signed with.

Speaking to the Romanian network Digi Sport, Manea said: "We are only at the beginning of the road, we want him to reach the best teams in the world. We were close, Bayern are among the biggest clubs, but his dream is Real or Barcelona. If he was 23 or 24 years old and had more experience, maybe he would have decided to go to Bayern, but we took many things into account; his age and the competition. In three or four years I see him at Real Madrid."

Re his agent, I just think Radu has come so far in his career so quickly, his agent is still struggling on his training wheels.

They've just setup a schedule of posts, at 47:35 minutes intervals and pissed off home for the day.

I think the Enter the Dragusin one is the one after "25% of Christmas PJs, (veliz navidad edition)"
