We don't want to lose Chadli or Siggy. They are from the Jenas pool of potential, each year they will be viewed as having potential and it's just a matter of time before they show us what they are capable of. The worry about Chadli is that in the world cup, he will score a screamer or over shadow Hazard and because of his lack of chances he will look to leave and we must try and keep Chadli. Maximise the marketing opportunities, get him signed up with Brylcream. Just let's not sell him to fund a move for a player sent by Ramos to destroy our team spirit. We will regret it!
The owner of his club is a dodgy ****er - we met his buy out clause and he had a medical and the owner simply refused to sign the paper work 5 minutes before the deadline. Good player though, so worth a punt if you can somehow get round that Mafia bloke.
Not sure about that. All I know is the player wanted to join, personal terms were agreed, a fee was agreed, a medical was completed. Then with literally 5 minutes to go the owner refused to sign! The owner is a complete loon from what I hear. I hear people compare it with when Arsenal met the Suarez clause - but there are so many differences between the two it's ridiculous people make that comparison.
What are the differences, then? Both players wanted to leave and the bidding clubs were willing to pay the appropriate fees.
I don't know if anyone's said it, but it wouldn't surprise me if this story has come about due to the general negativity towards the club from many fans. we're out of all cup competitions (pretty much) and not going to get 4th. The team is playing poorly and "Levy out" banners appeared around the ground on Sunday. Then conveniently some news breaks about us being close to signing a player who we all witnessed tear us apart single handed, just a couple of weeks before.....
I've seen it all now, a Liverpool fan complaining that a club didn't honour a buy-out clause. Does this ring any bells? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26414167
