@Zvrzr_RM1902 Mourinho liked his profile reports were saying, but Gonzalo wanted more minutes and that wasn't going to happen

He didn't push him out, but also didn't block his move

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@jmRMCF Good at keeping possession anf making the simple pass, works hard without the ball defensively and can play multiple positions (so Mou could have him fill in wherever needed (or when he's out of subs))

You don't play as many games as he did for Pep if you're a bad footballer

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@andruchk The whole reason Mourinho was brought in was to instill discipline and have players respect the badge

If you don't back him in that sense, there is no point

If someone cries about having to press or work hard in training, they should not play for the club

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@ImoPunter He was NOT fine warming the bench lol. Reports were pretty clear he wanted way more playing time then was available

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@andruchk Maybe?

I'm pretty sure it was Gonzalo himself that pushed for the move. Some players are fine with smaller roles, but reports indicated he wanted to play more

If Espi comes, he'll probably know exactly what his role and playing time is going to be beforehand

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@new_typ3 Gonzalo isn't like some of the other bums in the squad. He wants to develop and play 90 minutes every week

Think reports said Mou was fine keeping him but couldn't promise him enough minutes

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@Dark_sheriff4 Gonzalo wants to play 90 minutes every week. There players that care more about playing then sitting on the bench for 15 minutes here and there

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@bratzbaee @ChineduVictor_I The new striker is likely going to be an older one that'll sign on for 1 or 2 seasons, likely to retire after this

Gonzalo still needs to develop as a player, and wants to build a career. He can't do that when he doesn't play

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@andruchk I think the club wouldn't have minded keeping him if he insisted, but he's actually the type of player that cares about his career

He needs to play 90 minutes of football every week. Only way to develop and build a career. You can't do that sitting on the bench...

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@Arieszfs @saweezo It's insane, and other players would soon start asking for similair slowly draining money from the club

Even a squad player would want a cheeky signing bonus and some image rights

This is all Perez his fault for giving Mbappe that contract. He opened pandora's box

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@MourinhoPics Either way, my guess is this saga ends this window

Either Perez sells him or extends him. It'd be insane if he stalls and risks losing Vini for free

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@MourinhoPics It usually is blown out of proportion, but this time the problem is THAT complex

Perez doesn't want him leaving as a free agent next year, but can't budge on his business model

Vini wants to make what Mbappe is making, and dragging this out long and slow is good for him

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@MourinhoPics If Vini is actually after milking money, he'll likely stay at the club however regardless of what Perez wants

When he's a free agents, he can have his pick of any top club in Europe, all of them offering big money and contracts that otherwise would have been a transfer fee

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@MourinhoPics The source is shit. Even looking at that quoted '80 million' signing bonus should tell you it's made up

But we can't dodge reality either. Perez is not going to budge. If he gives out these kinds of bonuses every time a player extends, soon enough his business model will die

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@theMadridZone Vini will stay, i believe

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@Ilvaite0 That isn't defending Mou by the way. He said some braindead shit, and i hope he has called Vini as well and apologised

I just doubt Vini leaving is in his hands

Perez is not going to give him what he wants, and is not going to have him walk free

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@Ilvaite0 He was yapping to deflect from the player/club, the guy that cupped his ear against Juve and sneaks into laundrybaskets to hold teamstalks really doesn't give a fuck about that shit

Vini's renewal has always been a financial problem. Perez will never give him what he wants

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@saweezo Losing your head over 'Pepe Alvarez'

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@andruchk It's very likely Madrid will put in a 20/30% sell on clause

[Zeraff @Zeraffvpaj]

@FulhamFC Wishing you well!
