verlaine1979 Posted 1 June, 2018 Share Posted 1 June, 2018 Putting transfer rumours in the press that then don't happen doesn't give the club a meaningful PR boost. If anything it makes the situation worse as it ****es the fanbase off. Of course they do. You just have to value the short term boost as greater than the risk of not being able to mitigate the long-term consequences of your story not panning out. At the time, we were in free-fall in the league and all our early-window promises about signings had evaporated. I can absolutely believe that the club put out a face-saving rumour about Promes on the understanding that in 6 months we'd either be relegated, or in a position to spin a further story about priorities changing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a realistic story outlining the Options available In the end it all depends on McCarthy why ? i refer you to the line about any contract for McCarthy would account for a significant chunk of the wage budget. Doesn’t exactly suggest any big signings will be in the offing this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it more the case of them saying the club would look again at bidding for him in the summer? Which is not the same as saying the deal has already been wrapped up for the summer.

Saint Albert Posted 29 June, 2018 Share Posted 29 June, 2018 A few more details here... “Thursday, June 28, 2018 at 23:04 Quincy Promes has been involved in a fight in Ibiza, claims Johan Derksen on Thursday-evening at VI Oranje stays at home. The Dutch national team, after a step-up with Wesley Sneijder, who, according to Derksen, had nothing to do with the brawl, broke away from his wife. "Promes has gone through the ribbon in Ibiza, where his blows have fallen and his wife is said to be one of the victims, and other people who wanted to appease were also beaten ," says Derksen in the RTL4 talk show. Promes was out in the evening with Wesley Sneijder, among others. "But he was already gone at the moment of the incident, his agent says." According to Derksen, a friend of table mate René van der Gijp was an eyewitness. Presenter Wilfred Genee says that there are several sources that confirm the story. According to the VI men, Promes was even arrested by the Spanish police.” https://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/824744/nieuwtje-van-derksen-en-co-promes-betrokken-bij-grote-vechtpartij-op-ibiza.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real shame as he looked the sort who could have added something to our team. I thought he had a minimum release clause of £25m-£30m, and that on top of that we would also have to pay his cut of the transfer - at least that was the talk (though I never understood how it was our responsibility to pay something in his contract with Spartak). So it would seem that was all a load of b0110cks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
