    .... is clearly not confined to the property market, as evidenced by Chelsea gazumping Spurs' for the signature of Willian.

    Spurs' are incensed by this action,but didn't they do something similar when purchasing Sigurdsson?

    ..Arnt Everton also getting in on the Ki loan ?


    We did exactly the same when Craig Beatie was about to sign for Crystal palace, we offered him a couple of grand more and took him at the last moment !.. I guess they had the last laugh on that one didn't they ?? :)

    Norwich Gazumped us on that Posh defender didn't they ? cant remember his name now but he ended up turning his car around on the motorway and driving to them not us !

    Makes you wonder what these clubs do in the first 4 weeks of a transfer window doesn't it ?

    As evidenced by the Beattie deal,gazumping is not an exact science then,Norway.

    Being gazumped is a good thing. It shows that the player doesn't really want to play for you!

    I have my own agenda on that one Mikra. I may be wide of the mark, but with Brendan signing Allen, publicly stating he'd love to have Ashley Williams and constantly being linked to our players I do wonder whether he was a 'dummy' to see if Rodgers made a move. After all, we could have signed him in January, and if he was a realistic target for Laudrup, then I'm sure we would have. <ok>
