So we didn't match their price then....

Presuming we transferred the totality of the agreed purchase price to them on the day that was previously agreed upon. Perhaps we did that, who knows. I think it's commonly accepted in law that the transfer of any property is not complete until the total price has been paid.

Doubt if Arsenal were ever in the hunt, think we're still waiting for the offers that they were supposed to be going to make us in January 2009, summer 2010, summer 2013,summer 2014 and January of this year. An offer from Arsenal is a "belle arlesienne".

In fact you seem to dislike what he says, the guy you probably don't even know.

Probably meaning that someone, somewhere has wagered 50p at 4/1 on.

Good start, same old, same old middle.

He was indeed

Perhaps but certainly not me.The player was worth the sum and that's all that matters.

Perhaps it will, perhaps it won't. However what would be quite annoying if he does sign there is that we seem to have tried to cheapskate it and got our ass kicked.

It's all probably bollorks anyway, he wants CL football and more money than we can offer, Utd will suit him just fine as the Arse is an apparent non-starter. His agent is a bit of a maverick and should not be listened to in any shape or form..

Which seems pretty obvious to most but not to some hence the r+w specs epithet..

We'll just have to wait and see, as most on this very forum seem convinced that we will be preferred to Spurs at the end of the day I am not inquiet. However red and white striped specs are dangerous things in the wrong hands.

Pity the Arse think the price is way too high then.

I think the right answer would be a good number of a tidy few what does it matter he's a better striker than Pelle

Every transfer window is a media soap opera.

Their new shirt hasn't been released yet, think it's around the 1st of August so in theory the first to wear it will be the U21s or something.

I really can't see why we would be.

If we were interested at the price being asked then I don't doubt that we would have matched it and tried to sign the player. As we don't seem to have done that then I suspect we're not interested in the player or the price. He's good'ish but not that great and we no doubt have other targets.

Well apparently he's turned down Boca and wants to go back to Italy where he has a few middling clubs after him, might be just agent bollarks though.

They didn't get one...yet.

Again...

Ah but post 311 implies that we need the money somewhat before deadline day for it to be of any utility, thus the assumption that we cannot advance it. First mooted in post 269 though.

Was it ever established exactly why we don't have the money to pay for a replacement right now? I mean we're not going to sign anyone for anything upwards of about 16 million anyway, why don't we have that?

Blame Saints for whatever was wrong with him I expect.
