This wasn't a miss? The info seems solid, then we got outbid last minute by Brighton. Fab even mentions our deal falling through last minute. People not liking the outcome doesn't make the info bad.
Maybe not this granted.

But on the whole....

Honestly, this window can f**k off! Can see it now, can't shift the deadwood so we bring no one in. Or at best we get Johnson over the line which covers up the shit for a day before we realise that yet again we're short and haven't spent any of the Kane money. Will only take a few bad results before fans start getting up in arms if we do nothing before the deadline Friday. I'm honestly astounded how this has fallen through, absolutely shambolic from DL!

Get your, ‘Have some self respect’.
It’s mainly the time we’ve wasted though. Hope we don’t end up losing out/passing over on someone else we could have signed.
That I can agree with.

If Barcelona were never going to give us an option, why did we waste precious time so late in the window on an impossible deal?

It's just baffling. It's almost as if we have a business man running football operations..

Have to say I think this sighing is bigger than some perceive it to be.
This could easily be the signing of the summer, the kids got bags of ability and still a very high ceiling.

Sure there’s a few negatives, but if we focus on the positives I think this could get very exciting.
Never mind….

Yep don't take this out on the ITKs

Partly because its stupid, ignorant and unfair.

But also because A&C will bum you with a sword if you do.

Let's be honest here.
As much as I am on the Levy out train, Fati to Brighton is much better for the player and for Barca, so from their point of view it's 100% understandable.

The question is did that bald dwarf managed to fuck up a done deal again and gave Brighton a chance, or it just happened.

This was done and agreed. WLB was spot on. Daniel Levy the chief master negotiator outdone himself. Medicals was tomorrow.
So clearly we didn’t back out. He’s ripped up his agreement of coming to us over Brighton. Regardless Fati makes the final decision. Barca can’t really pull the plug on a deal for a player they need to shift unless he’s happy to accept the new proposal. Just pure banter club now.

Appreciate all the info for what it is. Good intentions etc etc.

Salt and all that.

But I don't think we've had a summer where the ITK has been so 'miss' that 'hit'.
It’s not the ITK’s fault it’s Levy and his lack of a plan which is why things keep transpiring like this, it’s just history repeating itself end of window after end of window.
