VDV was last choice buy , first choice sale.. in between his wife cancer, the club keeping him stay to be beside her till she recovered , some nice goals , great effort , love from the fans but not to the extent to make us keep him as he had his "disappear act "
No backroom policy as in not giving Jose total control
as in so many players are Mendez clients including Jose , CR , Di Maria..etc so we do not want to add more bargaining power , it's not we don't want him to stay we actually do but it's a matter of on who's term ? Mendez and his 6 players in RM or the club...
it's minor money difference but it's a "who's wearing the pants in this relation ? " Valdano already refused to sign the cup tied Portuguese player Almeida (another Mendez client )
