Wow, you are so smart... for a second I thought players didn't need to get paid. Real Sociedad is one of the most fiscally responsible clubs in Spain, I'm sure they know when to increase spending, and when to cut the budget, and by how much. Participating in international tournaments, whether it be the UEFA league or champions league, increases the club's revenue. Usually, the increased revenue is used to re-enforce the team. If they fail to qualify for either competition again, they sell players to keep the budget in check. It's common sense.
There were never any actual rumors linking Gio to Real Sociedad. It was mostly fan speculation here in BSMX.
Mallorca Pres. said that they've received plenty of offers from Spain and Abroad. No clubs mentioned. Gio no se queda en segunda!!!!
I bet those are really good teams calling yet Gio would prefer to sign for some shit Spanish side. Sad.
I'm sure he and any professional player would rather sign to some shit Spanish team than the LA Galaxy.
Really? If he knows he's best suited for the Spanish league then he should stay there. We all know he'll be beasting. This isn't like ********van wanting to stay in the MLS cause he was afraid of getting homesick. La Liga is still considered a top league.
Is there any possibilty he goes to segunda?? I remember when Depor descended many here guaranteed teams would be lined up to buy him,then when they didn't it turned into Andres stayed as a labor of love lol. I hope Gio doesn't like laboring in love jaja
Deportivo had insurance, and they were able to continue paying their players. Mallorca is on Spain's version of chapter 11.
No yeah I see how finances are different It was just funny how people guaranteed he would move and then said he stayed to help them regain Primera,I'm glad Mallorca can't afford Gio but the Galaxy can
Nah, hes not going to segunda. The guardado situation was different because he wanted to play out his contract so he could be free to sign with however he wanted without having to go through club transfers. Gio has a 3yr contract (i think)..
"El jugador no quiere estar en el Mallorca y su deseo es jugar en la Real Sociedad junto a Carlos Vela hoy su representante estara en San Sebastian para intentar llegar a un acuerdo." http://jesusruiztoboso.wordpress.com/2013/06/27/giovani-dos-santos-quiere-a-la-real-sociedad/ Its a blog, but the guy seems to have a lot of accurate info... make your opinion if its legit or not.
Then again....honestly......this CL run could just be a quick flash.....New coach.....its easy to mess a good team chemistry up, even if he did already work with them, you just never know.
