Video: Slav on Sullivan claims

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic today gave answers to the Carvalho controversy and David Sullivan’s claims that two other players were offered to him after it collapsed.

On that one he said:  “He (David Sullivan) likes to talk, it’s his right” adding “That is not exactly what happened with those two players that you have mentioned but I wanted Carvalho and it was in the middle of talking about Carvalho”

On personal remarks aimed at the owners by Sporting Lisbon Bilic said “It was funny for me to read some of those comments but for me now for me to say something about it, I am not afraid of saying my opinion that that’s not the way I work.”

Pressed on the ‘Dildo Brothers’ comments by Sporting Lisbon Slav said “It is funny, made me laugh but make no mistake I don’t like to speak about some things openly.”

He also said on the reasons for the Carvalho deal collapse ” I don’t know, I think was money, it was money, definitely money”, adding “I know we have been in talks with Sporting Lisbon, whether they were official or not I don’t know, I don’t do these things, I am not negotiating. I suggested the player, I wanted the player  and we walked to them”
