Lol… Another PR stunt. Abeg make one of these clubs sign this guy nah, at least we suppose hear say negotiations don start with one of these clubs no be all the time same headline, it’s making no sense any longer??? I mean, the PR stunt is getting very obvious. Make Ina change format abeg.
The “race” by clubs for Dennis be like heavenly race…Lolz. I heard Marseille actually tabled a bid this time (a club finally tables a bid since January). Let’s pray something positive comes out of it. Marseille isn’t going to be a bad move for Dennis IMHO
I day pray too @drey
Marseille won’t be a bad move. They are a top team in Europe and qualifies for Champions League and Europa often. They are way bigger than Brugge. Presently they can’t boast of a prolific striker upfront or a good Winger either. If this is true this time, It’s a good move for me and a Step up for Dennis.
I think the main issue is with club brugge, they want a huge amount of money for dennis. Their evaluation of him is unreasonable. He is mostly a winger and not a striker. They are using his goals again real madrid and man utd as yard sticks to push his price up. They should accept reasonable bids and allow him make a step up to a more illustrious league and not keep frustrating efforts for him to more on.
U are right, all this lower leagues clubsides are over inflating the bargains.. Dennis does not worth more than 10million pounds, they should be reasonable
