If a player and his agent wants to delay a decision to join our club it is because he is waiting to see if a richer club comes in for him which means he is hoping they do which means his real choice is not to join us in which case moving on would not be a bad idea.
Which means that?

Came on as a sub (the 9) and now dropped into the hole supporting Origi. Crap game. Belgium has very talented individual players yet a very disjointed and underwhelming "team". Wilmots is a shit manager and why Belgium has persisted with him is anyone's guess.

Interesting that the article on Batman also brings up Timo Werner who we were supposedly looking at last summer. I wonder if we will go back after they were relegated.

I would think not. This season he's proven he can't play up top by himself and relies too heavily/only on pace to score his goals. His trajectory has totally flat lined and now there are more questions than answers on his future prospects.

No doubt he'll be sold and for probably less than was floated around last year but I'd hope we can find a stronger prospect.

Why are people assuming MB or his agent are delaying things? Have I missed something?

No, just your typical SC summer transfer window toys out the pram meltdown. Just wait until he's spotted at Heathrow amid speculation he harbours a crush for Wenger- we'll break the Internet with our anxiety

Ah ok. Well fwiw, my understanding is this is a long way down the line and that it is expected to happen sooner rather than later. Obviously the cup final and International friendlies have got in the way a bit, but that is hardly anyone's fault.

That said, and I have said it before, we have been closer than this in the past and it's still gone tits up.

Speaking about a certain Willian perhaps?

I think because of the ambiguity in his words, albeit answering questions professionally. And also the fact that we are 'looking' at other targets i.e. Jannsen.

p.s. i'm not saying we are looking at targets or that we aren't just that what people think

Hard to forget that dark day. I entered Pizza Express grinning like a wanking monk, and left feeling like I'd been served divorce papers. That's how quick that shit turned around.
To be fair, while they keep up their end of the bargain with pizza, the express bit tends to be more aspirational

Looking at yesterday's game alone. I was not that impressed with Batshuayi. Origi actually looked a better striker. Only one game i know and a player must at least be given a season.

Dont think his worth £30 million though.

Not even a game, he was on for half an hour :confused:
