http://thesun.uk/61848Ylxj http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...and-set-complete-signings-Benjamin-Mendy.html Yep we fecked up again
Don't know if that one was necessarily a "**** up". I thought we'd agreed a deal but the player wanted to stay in France? Nothing we can do about that. Similar story with Franck Kessie, 20 year old lad tipped to be a world-beater, AC Milan just signed him for a reported £25m. We had a deal all tied up for him last summer but got blocked by Prem regulations: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...wo-year-loan-deal-with-the-obligation-to-buy/ http://talksport.com/football/agent...summer-move-sunderland-blocked-premier-league Ain't that a ****er. The only two times in the last decade or so our scouts have actually done a decent job and we got ****ed over by things outside of our control on both counts
Quite funny reading that article back, we ended up sealing deals for Roberge, Diakite, Cabral, el-hadji Ba and Alitdore, but missed out on Mendy
