I haven't said much on May for good reason. I am aware someone close to the May family posts on here.
Hence my recent reluctance.
The club has done its best to re-sign Taylan. Even upping the length and value of their previous offer.
From the club's perspective, the offer is very fair for a player who has played 2 FG games at centre and a player who missed all of the previous season through injury. There is scope for future increased earnings. For some that is not good enough.
When you have an agency that keeps moving the goalposts it makes it very hard to deal rationally with them.
It would have been good if they respected their client's initial wishes from the outset. Now they have gone down a path that is very hard to come back from.
If a client wants to get the best financial deal (which is their right), by all means, go to market and sell yourself to the highest bidder. That is your choice. Don't expect us to keep increasing our bids hoping we will match a rival's offer. We won't budge anymore!
There is a reason players take a little less to come here (Garner, Alamoti) and stay here (Alamoti). Future success and full development. We have saved careers. Turned average players into good players. Good players into great players.
That doesn't happen at a lot of other clubs. Usually, the opposite occurs.
Your style works here, but mightn't work elsewhere. Every club has a different system and culture. Some clubs have shit systems and shit cultures.
If money is your intention who cares? Pimp me up and sell me to the highest bidder. Even if they are shit.
Just don't expect buckets of money, success, happiness, and achieving your full potential. You can't get that on one deal. You are dreaming if you think you can.
You will get 3 out of the 4 here. The last 3 in abundance.
We are a special case. The small sacrifice is well worth it. Some can't see it though.
