Think we were trying to punch above our weight here. Great to try and get Ramirez but fact of matter, this probably wouldnt have happened had man utd, spurs or liverpool wanted him. I am guessing NC knew they were in a bit of financial dire straits and tried to get a steal on a deal to be paid over x number of years. If this was man utd or any of the above, they would prob have paid £8 mill on the nose with the rest in the first year.
Think we tried very hard to nail an amazing capture and for one reason or another it hasnt happened.
Still, as Adkins says, draw a line under it, move on etc...
Shame as really wanted this one but not our fault. We just seem jinxed in transfer deals at times.
