Gorgiesaint Posted 14 July, 2013 Share Posted 14 July, 2013 Bad news from our perspective, Pellegrini saying that Edin Dzeko is staying at Manchester City so that one less player that could fill Cavani's spot at Napoli. Really does look like its coming down to Damiao for them, unless they've got someone in mid on the quiet. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/10177836/Manchester-City-striker-Edin-Dzeko-will-not-leave-Etihad-says-manager-Manuel-Pellegrini.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The striker for Internacional de Porto Alegre could leave for Italy early next week: the deal is in the home stretch. The gap between demand and supply is cut short-La Gazzetta dello Sport reported the deal could be close to 22 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenue Saint Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 Following on from the Ramirez saga, it would appear that the Italian media is unlike any other media I have come across to date. 0.1% reliability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 Anyone wondering why transfers are drawn out need look no further. All these strikers about to move, but all being dragged out. Why? Partly getting the best deal and club for themselves, but mostly clubs needing to secure replacements. Damiao, Cavani, Higuain, Tevez, Dzeko, Benteke. There's a lot of clubs looking for a top striker and not enough to go around. As I said before, the bigger deals are often so much more protracted whether they make it into the media or not. It comes down to sponsorship,wages, ambition, image rights yada yada yada The thing with Damiao is similar to Ramirez we just arent in a position to convince these guys 100% yet so of course they are going to have a look at whether the bigger boys are coming in. Personally I would make an acceptable offer and then give them a time limit, if it falls through atleast you can move onto the next target. As good a signing as he is, the importsnce of us getting a new striker this season means IMO we cant wait all the TW to get someone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You move on and the first target then comes back and says OK? And is 20% better than your 3rd target? This is clearly a game/negotiation. It is also completely normal. Any single poster on here received interest in their services as an employee from 3 different companies WE would want to explore every detail every piece of fine print and would no doubt have one we felt would be the best fit for us. We would also try and make sure that the best fit gave us the best deal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and that last bit was actually a position I was in this summer, but as one that was made an offer and the offering company there would have been no hard feelings if that offer was removed due to my over diligence. Should Damiao reject an offer but then come back as we were negotiating another I would say 'look, we are 90% through negotiations with this guy, if your interested you need to sign' I said before leverage is an important thing, all the time he has offers elsewhere then its in his favour, as soon as those offers dissapear then it swings to our side.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 Hi Deanovski You weren't on the ITKPM2013mark1 list but you really should come to the muppet show for all your ITK needs. My info is that NC met with this guys reps and agreed a deal in principle. It is just down to the player now. It seems the current way of doing things is for the players agent to agree a load of deals with a load of clubs and then let him choose. It is not first past the post. See you on TMS in future.

So to TuttoMercatoWeb.com , President of the Internacional de Porto Alegre, John Louis. Damiao though is the first name on the list of Naples. "Yes, but we have not yet spoken. So as far as I'm concerned there are no talks between Naples and the Internacional ". Other requests? "Something from abroad, Yes. Like many teams, but has a contract with us. And who wants it should consult us. " And if I tell her Southampton? "Like many Damiao". I insist: courteous and Pochettino they put him in the crosshairs. "It may be. Yes, maybe there is the Southampton ". It's more of an admission. "Damiao is a major player". Then? "England has been well received, like. Normal that so many companies have attentive. But what about the Naples, however, I should like to emphasise that there have been no direct contact between us and them. Expect contact me ... ". Interesting...

Giordano Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 Just read it in Italian. The translation is ok but misses important nuances. paraphrased: first of all - confirming what he said the other day ie napoli have not formally approached him, and if they want D they need to do so. (which incidentally is a quantum shift from the obvious nonsense of "he's not really for sale, i have no value for him and i want him for next season which he said 48-72 hours ago...") Secondly the interviewer pushes him into an admission that MP and NC from Saints are the interested other parties. Again we are admitted as an interested party- just like by Roma earlier today for osvaldo. BUT suggests plenty of others in England fancy him as well and concludes by indirectly once again telling Napoli through the interview that if they really want Dam then they must go through him... Looks to me like he has been outflanked by napoli, the player wants to go to italy and will be positive - he has been approached direct for sure via his agent - which means the price that Luigi can negotiate might be smaller so he may feel like being a bit difficult as he is currently showing so well (bit like what we did with cagliari and their president). With Saints he will undoubtedly get more for his club.....but would the player come ...again I have to say v unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
