I don't get the whole argument about it being the agent. These things are a negotiation and if they're all in the room in Portugal with the player having said his goodbyes to Sassoulo, I don't see how his agent suddenly comes out with a demand that shuts the whole conversation down. The club wouldn't just pull out of the deal and no longer negotiate.

Unless player terms hadn't been discussed before they arrived in Portugal... or maybe he has another offer on the table.

Unless his agent/player has asked for more money based on the Mundle injury and we’ve immediately thought “We don’t want that type of character at the club”. If we’ve got him over for a medical and on a plane, I can’t imagine it’s us who have tried changing the terms of the deal last second, particularly with us now without Mundle. I’m reading it as they’ve chanced their arm, pissed us off and we’ve told them to **** off.

That sounds a bit amateur to me. It's a negotiation, of course they're going to ask for more. That's the job.

Get Diakite sorted and all will be forgotten.

CB is the current priority for me, our current backup CBs are Triantis who played a full season in midfield for Hibs and Johnson who couldn't really get into the Notts County team. Think we need at least one through the door in the next 2 weeks.

I’m not convinced Mundle will be ready for me like. I was already worried about hanging our hat on him anyway due to his injuries. No guarantee the surgery will even solve the issue

I'm actually not that bothered if this deal has fallen through, said at the time it didn't make a lot of sense to me due to the players who can play LM already. I don't think Lauriente is a CF at PL level despite him playing there before. I really want us to sign a left footed RM to give us that balance then ise Talbi on either wing

I'm pleased the club isn't being messed about (if that's what's happened) and hopefully we have someone else lined up

Completely agree, if this was for Lucumi I would have had a different reaction but were really strong for LW (even with le fee in a completely worst case scenario)

Aye but if things were agreed in principle and they’ve massively moved the goalposts thinking we’re now desperate with Mundle out, it wouldn’t surprise me if that attempt is big enough to piss us off and pull the plug entirely.

Yeah which we did but nothing is signed until after the medical. New demands could have been given

So player wants the move, club wants the move, Sassoulo have agreed the fee, player has said goodbye to his team mates and then comes in with demands so ridiculous that it shuts down negotiations?

Given that Lauriente already has relationships with RLB and Le Feé, I think they already know his character.

This doesn't seem like a likely scenario to me.

If we had the deal sorted in principle and they then tried to change it, we are well within our rights to pull out. Can't be seen to be messed around.

It would surprise me. That's the type of thing a fan thinks, not a club who is used to negotiating.

Guess i'd rather sort the situations we 100% know about first though. Not sure we can go into the first weeks of the season with Ballard and Seelt starting together, AFCON is 22 weeks away so I think we can kick that can down the road for a late deal in August

Yeah very true but quality players might not be hanging around that long to move clubs, especially if there is competition in the deals
