We dared to dream, we flew too close to the sun.
Then, the Cornetta melted.

Ha don't even go there, if that's the case I can see Poch packing his bags.The window is still open - I can assure you that if we still have not signed anybody by the time it ends I will join you in having the most ridiculously over the top meltdown of epic proportions that may cause me to enter the street and get arrested IN REAL LIFE.
BTW @JJetset it doesn't sound like it's anything to do with you. If the club haven't sealed the deal despite having months then it's your cock up. I'm sure we all appreciate the info nonetheless
It doesn't seem to be so difficult for other clubsSuch a shame but it does emphasise just how bloody difficult it is to get a high profile player in - so many factors that could change at any second to screw it up.

I'm obviously incredibly niave and/or ignorant about the situation, but how can a transfer go from close, to dead in a matter of hours?
If the player was interested and then changed his mind, it couldn't have been that close, and if the issue was cost then there's always a bit of negotiation unless the goalposts are changed dramatically.
Just another player missed out on and we can look forward to the ligue 1 bargain bin once again...

Like Chelsea who wanted Lukaku but preferred Kane but ended up with Morata.Other clubs can splash the cash a lot more than we can and also have a much higher profile. We are down in the pecking order, we have to accept that.
I'd question how high profile he really is. He's certainly a name but he's not yet a top tier player like Lemar for example and has 12 months to run on his contract - suppose this is why it's quite a painful one to stomach.

THFC just take far too long to wrap up transfers. On for months where others wrap up in weeks. So frustrating. We're rather pathetic
