I appreciated what you're saying but... We met a release clause. We been given permission to speak to the player. We'd agreed personal terms. The owner just refuse to sign it and has reported said "sue me"
If it turns out we met a buyout clause would you be in favour in trying to pin the arse to the wall? Bad enough these rich teats think it's their toy but if they don't even apply the basic rules then the system will eventually collapse. But on the bright side: Let's put it like this, if the Ukraines do indeed get away with ignoring a legally binding release clause, Suarez will be well depressed at the precedent that sets! lol.
Seem to be in the wrong here. Two points We have been messing up the "big" transfers. Whoever it is, comittee, owners, ayre, BR, it needs to be sorted. I totally agree with G that we should not have even been going after Kono and Salah. Hernanes, Diego Ribas, Mvila, Fernando, Richards, Montoya, Banega, Romulo, etc should have been the type of names we were after. CM's and fullbacks.
Typing horses are a lot harder to find than talking ones, the hooves make the keys really hard to negotiate
Dave's quite chirpy, sees us where we actually are: 4th with half our players injured half the time one way or another. Rest of us are just greedy lol.
My God, what an interesting night ;-) Got to laugh at how some people turn in to right drama queens and start moaning that the world is ending, just because one transfer deal fall over. Look on the bright side, we could be Arsenal, still with no strikers.
That's rubbish. Ayre knows that he could not even talk to the player let alone subject him to a medical without permission of the club. So Dnipro have behaved like bastards. Plus I will not accept that their owner was unaware and finally stepped-in to say No. It doesn't work like that!
I argue with Dave about our prospects quite often but we did agree that fourth was our realistic target the other day. We should aim for first though.
Yeah but 5 months to identify a few midfielders better than Allen or defenders better than Cissokho or Johnson?? If they'd only come up with a list of 3 players worldwide who'd improve our full backs or midfield they need to be fired....literally Realistically Frank if they paid us lot we could give them a list of 20 players better than Johnson (on current form), 50 better than Allen and 200 better than Cissokho (and even a few wingers if that's what Buck wants). These guys have had months to identify targets and a month to sound them out and sort deals out.
