My point was if he had flown over to look at Adriano, I repeat if. Firstly i read that he was in Italy to watch him, secondly I hear we are interested in loaning him, thirdly His agent comes out saying he is'nt going anywhere he is staying in Milan. So I was just wondering would a manager of a premier league club go to another country to watch someone if he had'nt prior knowledge that the said player was interested in playing for the club of the stated manager?
Of course he would!
No manager is going to bid for a player based purely on reputation and then go and see him play. He sees him play first, based on his reputation and then if he sees what he likes, he makes a bid. He can't go and ask his agent if he's available as every player is potentially available these days.
