It sounds like we felt he was attainable - we were obviously in talks and came close. Hindsight is no way to judge anything.

Yet we still haven't signed anyone and the season starts in a few days. Our whole approach to transfers is beyond pathetic.

I know transfers can change quickly, but did he have a nightmare and wake up with a fear of cockerels or something?!!
Can't make it up...

Well, that changed pretty quickly didn't it! JJ kept quiet on it for weeks, gets excited and then 10 minutes later it's off! Roll on 31/8...
Couldn't make it up could you and its been on for months!!
I may just sit back now. I did this once before with Moutinho with the same end result FFS

There isn't but why waste time pursuing them when we should have been looking at someone attainable... instead of the usual let's leave ourselves up shit creek with a wafer thin squad for the start of the season.

There were also reports weeks ago that he'd turned us down.

Obviously as of 11pm last night he was looking very attainable otherwise JJ wouldn't of said anything. You moan whatever happens any way. If we were straight in for Josh King you'd moan that we were showing no ambition, yet when we go for a decent player you moan we never had a chance.

So from JJs twitter responses seems it is Juventus, how many attackers do they need?!!

Signed Bernardeschi and Douglas Costa already to join Dybala, Higuain, Mandzukic, Cuadrado, Pjanic, Pjaca. What more do they need!

Yeah, it changed a little too quickly in my eyes. Maybe there was a different meaning to JJ's first tweet last night, 'a ITK Beadle' ...

Sometimes things happen outside of our control - that's life. Let's wait and see what happens in the next week and try not to have a complete meltdown.

Hey we're running a tight ship here, it's not like we got a massive windfall for one player that was apparently a 'masterstroke' - freeing us up to really close the gaps in our squad with the proceeds.

Walker is probably paying for the slidey pitch for the American egg chasers who have their logo plastered all over our new football stadium website.

Poor old Poch, he could barely have done any better for us and still he can't catch a break.

I'm firmly in the stage of denial

jj and A&C must be trolling to see our reaction surely?

Surely?
Surely?
Please?!?

Well it's not now. And I hope the people in charge of our Club have a decent plan B. After finishing second we can't go into the season weaker than last year, as we currently are - it would be ludicrous.

Naaaah, didnt know who this guy was yesterday, must admit this window does seem like a bit of a disaster on a few fronts.

Oh well another one bites the dust, have to say that Im very disappointed in us at a club this year, yes we have the stadium to build but we clearly need reinforcements (Poch has said this also) and yet we seem incapable of getting any deal done cleanly. Do we now get the feeling that the money just isn't there and we are trying to penny pinch every single deal which ultimately costs us.

After the last two years of us being the main challengers to the title I can see us falling away this year and that is a horrible thought.

Sod's Law mate, horrid bad luck to say we are in for him only for fate to play it's trick card and make it all go tits up at the very moment we had our hopes up.

They need enough to compete for and win multiple trophies I suppose?
