Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 15, 2016 With all due respect to CUSDP, and he does give us interesting info, I''m certain this is a case of mistaken identity or slight details getting confused between sources. Do Maio and Haller look quite similar, both have the same forename, but with confirmation that Haller was in the building yesterday, it''s sounding like a case of mistaken identity to me? Hope I''m wrong though!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted January 15, 2016 Of course, Hallers agent has confirmed he was in Norwich yesterday. CUSDPs term "in the building" is just a generalism, to mean yes this or that guy is in the area. Haller was likely in many of Citys buildings both at the Carra and Colney. CUSDP seems to be correct in saying a guy was in town, but likely got the wrong guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why bother looking around if you have no intention of signing? Must be an ulterior motive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 15, 2016 Maybe Haller did want to sign, but then saw Colney and changed his mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted January 15, 2016 No Chip, iys pretty simple, as i said elsewhere. City and Utrecht have good relations, even admitted by Hallers agent. Clubs agreed a fee, as part of the arrangement Utrecht tell Haller to vist City and its facilities, hes a Utrecht player so cannot turn that down. But thats as far as the players obligation goes, hes visited, end of. Just because hes fulfilled the visit arranged by the two clubs, has nothing to do with how he himself feels his next move will be. His agent dropped big hints of course, Haller wants to play Europa cup or Champions league, so if a club like Spurs come in, hes interested, if not he stays at Utrecht.All this is simple, not a chance he will be a City player.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 15, 2016 Utrecht can''t force Haller onto a plane and to visit Norwich. If he would only consider a move to a team currently playing in Europe he wouldn''t even visit.The original French version of the quotes say Haller is targeting a specific club who are already in European Competition and have expressed interest. Not that he''ll only target a club in European competition. If the player had zero interest in Norwich he wouldn''t have come.It may be the club playing European football is in France or Spain, were they would only be able to pay a fraction of the wages Norwich could.I''d imagine if the other club can''t agree terms with Utrecht or the player he could well come back to Norwich (if AN is still interested) or he might just wait it out until the summer. In no way was he just traipsing around Colney because Utrecht had told him to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted January 15, 2016 Ok Bethnal fair enough, at same time Utrecht could have asked him nicely, not forced, maybe he was just actually interested to see what City had to offer anyway, its a simple plane trip here. What we do have is a definite clue from his agent as to what Haller is looking for in a switch to a new club. He has a good contract at Utrecht anyway so its he whos calling the shots. Just as with the Naismith saga, two clubs agreeing a fee means diddly, its always the player and his agent who get final say.Guys here will try to find any reason why a player could come to City, but the majority is just pointless trivial banter that keeps forum posters discussing things thru boring NCFC Transfer windows. That of course includes me to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 15, 2016 The agent was speaking French, I think someone has posted a link to the quotes in English on this thread, but that page then has a link to the original French version.I don''t speak French personally (well, not to a level where I can understand nuance), but was told it read the way I have written it by a more competent French speaker. There was certainly no mention of the French national team in the set of agent quotes I''ve seen today.If Haller would only consider signing for a club in the Europa or Champions'' League then I can''t see why he would bother coming to Norwich. Maybe he was expecting to get an offer beyond his wildest dreams, but he could have been given that over the phone. Everyone is trying to fathom why the agent said this, or for what purpose - but I don''t think there is some devious motive just an agent talking about his client. If you want to alert clubs to your players availability there are better outlets than a fairly obscure French website. As an agent you''d just phone them up directly.
