The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Ryo]

I don't know man. I don't buy that story. Seems like a reach from media to me.

Business is business. I think clubs are just trying to be smart these days. The playing field has changed and everything is out in the media. With that, they all use it to their advantage. Strasbourg's revenue in 2024 (from Capplogy, so not sure how accurate, but I'll roll with it) is 65m. Getting an offer for one of their players that's 1/3rd of their annual revenue would have been accepted in a heartbeat a few years ago. Now, they want more. Because they know someone (especially in the EPL) will pay up. I don't think it has anything to do with Mike and Chelsea. They simply know they can milk every penny through the media. In the end, they probably don't need the money if they are not accepting 18m for this guy. His biggest accomplishment so far in his career, is being PSG's Doue's brother. And for sure, that plays a part in the price, as ridiculous as that sounds.

Reason can be two-fold.
They want to keep the player, but like you said everyone has a price.
Strasborgs price is 35M if anyone wants to make them part with their RB.
It could be about Mike, it could NOT be about him, but the baseline is that they want to keep their player unless a massive offer comes in.

I'd say Milan do the same thing, but it seems buying Tiji for 14M and selling for 4 times his price as base (not inclusive of bonuses) is still not enough to satisfy the crowd.

 

[Ryo]

How embarrassing
Imagine choosing fener instead of Milan.

We looked ridiculous again. I mean private plane and all

Mourinho wanted the Englishman more than we did.
He was our third choice apparently.

 

[AndreiX]

Googled Doue to see what they paid for him and they paid 6m last year

Is that like our new thing? to get asked for 40m for players clubs got last year for 6?

 

[Ryo]

What bothers me is that they knew at least since January, since when they accepted Como offer that Theo would be gone and still we are late on his replacement

Maybe they wanted Nuno Tavares, but then Lazio got hit by their mercato ban.
Instant no-deal there.

 

[theduck7]

This Brown thing turned into one of the most ridiculous media stories of the summer so far. "Two private jets on the tarmac, one from Milan and the other from Fenerbahce, while Archie Brown decides"!
i mean.......how do they come up with this shit!?!?!? I had no idea this guy even existed 3 days ago. Even his name seems made up FFS!!!

Mental to go to those lengths, should we not have started these negotiations months and months ago with the same level of effort? Just seems on the surface like a last minute panic. All I keep thinking is what a waste of money for the jet alone. We are so reactive all the time, u don’t need to send jets on a whim with planning

 

[BillyTheKid]

I am gonna have a lot of fun come September, quoting all the people who said - "anyone will be better than Theo"

The lazy version of Theo is still better than 90% of all the LBs in the top 5 leagues.

 

[Ryo]

Forgive me, I understand everything, everyone can say what they want and create the narrative they desire, but I think the negotiation was reported accurately. If Brown's agents are asking for about €3m in commissions and Milan doesn't pay them, what am I supposed to do about it? Those are their evaluations. I do my job. Milan sent a private plane to bring the player to Milan, it doesn't seem like I made anything up. Anyway, you're free to follow whoever you want, of course. - Moretto

3m commissions on an 8m fee is criminal

Evidence on the private plane?
We still haven't seen anything on that.

 

[Wild]

Listen you cunts, i was never a company man.
I love Maldini & i was caught many times defending & other times criticizing him.
But honestly i dont get the hate on Tare as early.
He already proved to be swift & to have a good taste.
Let me remind you.....
We wanted a coach ---> Max snatching him from other suiters
We wanted to work on our biggest weakness which is the midfield specially after loosing Tij --> we were simultaneously trying for five good//great/prospects & we could have gotten whoever we choose which we did for two & the third seems doable.
MM was about to be sold --> we were again simultaneously targeting two good GK that are better than MM.
The above are proven facts & it shows a swift & good taste Tare.

Now why arent we moving for other positions?
I already gave a possible & reasonable reason for that.
Archie isnt good enough?'
We just sold Theo so lets wait before we judge.
Maybe Archie is a sub Jimenez who Max think will start as a LB?

 

[IL-Capitano]

Googled Doue to see what they paid for him and they paid 6m last year

Is that like our new thing? to get asked for 40m for players clubs got last year for 6?

All part of the master plan.

 

[Wild]

Don't fight, just accept your L.

 

[theduck7]

Whichever way u slice it, sending a jet last minute for someone and coming back empty handed is not cost effective

@Wild pulling up for a drive-by on RnB

 

[Hitchens]

Nothing close to what happened with Renato, Thuram, Faivre, Thauvin, Veliz .....
Who was in charge back then?!
Note that i defended the management back then as a part of the game.

What narrative are you attacking?

This Archie Brown saga is Milan left in the mud. Regardless of history.

I am pleased with the Tare hire and I think he will do well.

Serie A pull is shrinking annually.

 

[Shiby]

How much is it to reserve and send a private plane and bring an empty plane back? Its gotta be easy half mil. But we refuse to pay agents commisions?

Thats ridiculous. Doesnt matter if the guy is any good...the way we do business is ridiculous.

 

[Pingu]

That was false. The Twitter fake news crowd did not share receipts in the form of FlightRadar logs.

If we gave our deal & didnt raise it this mean we were humiliated?!

 

[Hitchens]

Can't see Doué coming, seems the distance is too big.

After the Brown thing, I wouldn't mind to see Zinchenko back in fashion for the LB. Every signing holds risk, but I'd rather have more Modrics than Moncada maybe talents.

 

[Samaldinho]

They didn't send a jet, they probably just had a chartered jet waiting there, and canceled when it didn't work out.

Not that crazy or embarrassing.

Was the airplane story debunked? That's the embarrasment for me, as well as being rejected for a Turkish club.

 

[IL-Capitano]

All this fuss over Archie Brown.

Fair enough.

you can buy a handful of cessnas and hangar them for a year for half a mil

when u charter it's mostly the pilot's time ur paying for. it would cost like 15k tops in total maybe less since the trip wasnt made

 

[Curupira]

Listen you cunts

You knew unk was gonna come with that heat after this

I think he probably wanted to play CL so fair enough. No guarantee Milan is back there next year either

Ok i didnt know we are discussing the plane saga

 

[Hitchens]

Ok i didnt know we are discussing the plane saga

Are you telling me having to deal with an empty plane in Genk airport is not embarrassing?

 

[Wild]

The jet we sent for Brown

 

[Curupira]

Fuck Tare, what a stupid appointment.

If we get someone with that hair, fire Tare immediately

 

[Wild]

Are you telling me having to deal with an empty plane in Genk airport is not embarrassing?

I honestly dont know & dont care.
I was discussing the player.
