I thought the pre-contract was signed back in January? Either way, money is surely the overriding factor here. I was just pointing out there are differences with the Holebas situation.
Poor kid’s agent is ruining his career. Oh well, take the easy money to get rid of the bad apple. There’s probably a raft of midfielders on the scouting team’s radar.
I cannot imagine any other club touching him with a barge pole whilst this issue sits over his head. They would be asking for trouble with fifa and would probably end up having to take it to the Court of Arbitration in Sport.
What's the story here if he does end up leaving, deal away agreed from the club before June 30th and we get €5m compo, deal agreed after that, and we get whatever we can negotiate, right?
Seems his advisors now accept whoever wants him will have to pay us for the privilege: http://sportwitness.co.uk/entourage...higher-for-watford-player-he-has-other-plans/
It says in there he doesn't to leave France for a couple of years but surely he knew what country Watford was in when he signed. The player and his current agent sound like utter bell ends. If he doesn't turn up at least we don't have to pay him
Lol, indeed. How can they expect anyone to take them seriously after that? Clowns indeed. The new agent obviously knows that no club will give Gueye a large bump in his contract compared to what was agreed with us if they also have to pay us a sizeable fee for him.
F**k it, he's probably on fairly low wages and he was a free transfer. Just stick him in the stiffs for 5 years for a laugh.
As long as we get a few mil then fairplay, easy money. Just hope he doesn’t turn out to be a world-beater.
Love the way the player thinks so little of our setup that's he's just doing whatever he wants. He couldn't give a toss. Like most of our existing squad.
News on Pape Gueye transfer saga. Understand discussions with Marseille ongoing & Watford settlement likely. Exclusive for @TheAthleticUK inc pictures of Gueye signing original Watford deal, but he’s now likely to never wear shirt
Yeah, fair to says that photo would have scuppered his claim to FIFA he knew nothing about signing for us.
Hopefully we’ve got a few million and either a sell on percentage or first refusal when they sell him on a season or two down the road
marseille have announced his signature on a 4 year deal on a free from Le Havre. This is going to get very very messy! How they can say we havent got rights with pictures of him signing a contract I have no idea.
