I wonder if we were only sounding him out as a THB replacement and never as an addition?
i also think the slowness to trim the squad and bring in cash (outside of Charles) is now holding us back. Charles fee maybe covered the shortfall bit then other sales to be our spending money and with Ramsdale, Suga, Downs, BBD, Sam etc all still here then we are in a position of having to wait to sell now before buying.
