He's spot on. Who is actually better out at left midfield who plays for Ireland? He even plays Walters out wide instead of Brady ffs. What a ****ing idiot. Gone senile.

Trapps messed up both team selections for Sweden and Austria. Both games lost and he has paid the price. Thankfully Brady is fresh and ready to go for Hull City.

If he really thought that he never would have attempted to let him go...
Trying to suck up to him. Don't fall for it Shane.

He wont. But we could well face competition from others in January unless of course SB and Long have a gentlemans agreement in place for the future when we can get him for alot less.

Whatever. We are the ones who have fcuked up here. Even if he doesn't sign a new deal, this whole affair has put it out there that he is available and I'm sure there will be competition for his signature in January.

He will either sign a new deal in which case there's no way he'll go anywhere in January, or he won't sign a deal and another club will offer him better terms than we can offer.

Like I say, we have messed this up royally.

The shame is, he is EXACTLY the type of player we need.

Who knows what will happen. TWT as always. But to say we fecked it up royally is utter nonsense. WBA lost Lukaku and had evry right to pull the plug as to let Long leave would have left them short.

What a load of bollocks. We took a chance and it nearly paid off. If we had been trying for the full window like with FC I would agree, but Steve Bruce looked at who was a possibility and tried to do a late deal. WBA lost out on their target, so the deal collapsed. Only one mistake was made, we got too excited and didn't look at anyone else.
 
At the end of the day, Shane Long has an agent who will be ****ed off with us for missing out on his cut due to us trying to restructure the deal after it had been agreed.

He will also have taken note in all the interest that his availability caused, and be putting out the feelers to many of these other clubs between now and January.

Not to worry... I still think we can do better in January if we still have £6M in the kitty.

So...you're calling Brucie a liar? Or what?
 
No... Brucie admitted we did try to change the terms. He said these things often happen particularly when it all happened so quickly.

I'm saying it's unlikely that his agent will be advising his client to re-ingnite the deal in Jan.

Misses out some key points that HDM quoted him as saying....

Bruce defended City’s conduct in negotiations and added: “Now it is true that after initially agreeing a fee we wanted to try and change the deal to suit us better. Let’s be fair, we only started negotiating a deal at 10am that morning. It’s pretty normal to bat things back and forth. When I got to pick him up there was a deal done in principle.
“In my experience, and I’ve been in it a long, long time, you bat things back and forward in negotiations. That can go on for days and weeks during a transfer window but we didn’t have time on our side. We were in a difficult position.”

He will be doing more than that soon. Word in the Midlands is that Shane Long has already rejected any contract talks with WBA. Looks like WBA will pay a heavy price for pulling the plug. Time is indeed going to tell on this one.

It would not surprise me that we have already done the deal and just now waiting for January. Twt like.

They should have taken the deal. The extra million was just a clause for appearances which beyond injury he would have done with us. We werent going to pay that kind of money for a striker and then sit him on the bench. He will leave in January and they will lose far more than that million for him.
 
Odemwingies side of the story with WBA

By the time January came around, Odemwingie wanted out and on the final day of the month he was confident he was about to become a Queens Park Rangers player. After meeting Dan Ashworth, the sporting director, and Garlick, who was about to take over in that role, Odemwingie was "100% sure the deal was happening. I said my goodbyes to everyone, even those who were not nice to me, I hugged it out before leaving."

The rest has gone down in deadline-day history. With the clock ticking down, players often drive within close proximity of a club before permission is granted – Gareth Barry admitted that he did exactly that last week with Everton – but Odemwingie's mistake was to advertise his presence by parking up outside Loftus Road and giving a live television interview at a time when Albion had not reached an agreement with QPR.

It was, the 32-year-old admits, an error of judgement, although he insists that he was not trying to force the deal through. He says he "would not even move a foot from Birmingham to London" if he had known it was crucial that Junior Hoilett moved in the opposite direction. He also feels that he was let down by his agents at the time.

John Ex Aberdeen now E.R. said:
Seems Odemwingie is drawing similarities between his and Shane Long move, but saying in the aftermath that Long was aloud back into the fold on the face of it with no backlash.

I always felt that Clarke was the guilty party in this Shane Long move.

Cheers, John - I couldn't get the Afrikan link to open previously. I've managed it with yours. <ok> Peter Odemwingie takes it further than in the Guardian interview I posted on here, earlier.
