eddie Posted 27 July, 2016 Share Posted 27 July, 2016 Probably the most hilarious and least likely rumour there's been so far. maybe Fonte feels English football is too clean? Couple years experience doping, boosting his performance and keeping his int'l career going until his mid thirties Makes perfect sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Ash Posted 29 July, 2016 Share Posted 29 July, 2016 HITC hardly a reliable source, but we know the board would welcome any offer with open arms and force Fonte out the door. Do we? We have only let players go when the buying team and paid through the nose, so I don't think we would welcome "any" offer. Why would they force the captain out of the door anyway? Weird post.

Professor Posted 29 July, 2016 Share Posted 29 July, 2016 HITC Sport must have some impressive sources to have produced this story about Fonte but it fades into insignificance against their other scoop, that Shane Long could be a target for, wait for it........................................Middlesbrough!

Cartman Posted 29 July, 2016 Share Posted 29 July, 2016 It is all nonsense anyway. Contract negotiations with their best player Quincy Promes (who incidentally would be an excellent Mané replacement) are stalling because he wants 3 million euros a year net (about 90k a week gross in the UK). They can't afford José even in the unlikely event that he would want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 31 July, 2016 Share Posted 31 July, 2016 Strange. They do share an agent though. Just for context they also mentioned bonnuci and some guy from Zenit, story was about lack of EPl experience in the PL with smalling at 26 the most experienced. I'd be suprised if they spent 50mil on bonnuci so could see them spending cheeky 15mil on a defender with EPL experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 31 July, 2016 Share Posted 31 July, 2016 I can understand Fonte wanting a move as he is hardly rich on the wages we've paid him in the last 6 years. A transfer fee of 20m will give him a nice lump sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
