She says in that Reddit that doing the corners is not cost efficient. She seemed to suggest a net gain of 3,000 extra seats.

He'll regret leaving, just like Torres did. His form might not fall off the cliff, he might even win a big trophy, but he'll regret it.

It's absurd but to go from 5 to 2½ overnight would probably stop you thinking paying the likes of Falcao €300K a week was a no brainer.

Monaco are goosed now after the owner's divorce I suppose.

Right but his potential to make money from established contacts like Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho (wherever he is working at the time) is more predictable than doing what we maybe think agents do/should do and scour Europe for the right deal for their player. Madrid/Mourinho/the Portuguese League is a tap that produces money for him when he turns it. It makes sense for him in the longer term to ensure that the right people are kept happy. On a related note, I had a look at the list of players on his website that Rimbeaux posted and my first impression was that he's sweated pretty much all of his prize assets in the last few seasons. There were a lot of players I didn't recognise there, maybe some future €60m players that he'll get his 15% from, but apart from Christiano's last move, he might not have too many double digit million pay days for the next couple of windows.

Them missing the CL next season is the single most important non-Liverpool thing in football this season. It would be catastrophic for them.

That's where I want to go with this. eg We want to sign, say, Fabio Contrao. Does Mendes run it by Jose first to get the thumbs up? It's not implausible.

Ha, no interesting reason. Just musing along the lines of how we may be affected at some point in the future when he wants to sweat an asset and make a few bob. I am building myself into a nice conspiracy theory about him keeping his players away from clubs that he and his pals in the game don't want them to go to.

Out of interest, are any of our players or staff represented by Jorge Mendes?
