Have you seen the price of our new Kit? It's bloomin expensive and I'm struggling to buy it!!
PSG are going to buy them all and sew on new badges.

My thoughts (for what they're worth). There's no way that Veron would have known we're the only club interested. Even PSG don't go spunking £10m on a player without doing their proper diligence on them. We probably had a ceiling price and we're not prepared to get in some sort of auction for him. Under the radar? Nah.

Thats laughable but classic levy. Continues to operate us as a small time club. Yet we are one of the 12 richest clubs in football, have made CL twice in a row, and are one or 2 pieces from winning the most competitive league in football. It's pathetic, really.

We've offered the same total value for the player, so it's not small time or trying to undercut the market, it's just the way we prefer to structure our deals. If the PSG interest is true then maybe we'll change the structure in order to secure the player, just because they're interested doesn't mean we've missed out.

Would be a real shame to miss out on him, as he does look like a much younger version of Tobias Alderweireld.

He could have came over now watched learned for a year or so off the master before getting to replace him.

But I guess once again Levy may have cost us the deal.

So many kneejerkers in this thread :banghead:

How do we know we didn't match the bid and Foyth just chose to go to PSG instead? If Veron was doing his job properly he would have been over in Europe speaking to a few clubs and trying to play them off against each other. No one knows what actually happened behind the scenes.

Besides how reliable is this twitter link anyway? Until there is an announcement from either club nothing is concrete.

He hasnt actually signed and I have seen somewhere that it is not done. Veron and Poch are supposed to be mates and the deal has come about because of that, so I struggle to believe its dead

Think he has gone to PSG. He was spotted in Paris this morning draped in an Italian flag eating a cornetto.
Time to move on.

Honestly, this isn't a big deal if the kid has chosen PSG. Not being funny but they are being linked with a 222m bid for Neymar. They are a bigger club than us these days so if he chose them then so be it. Let's not start throwing our toys out of the pram about it.

I wasn't personally excited about this one, irrespective of whether he looks a great talent or not. We have CCV and Japhet Tanganga as well coming through so I'm not concerned about our options at CB.

I don't think anybody would care about being outmuscled by PSG. It's the fact that we seemingly dither and fanny about, giving other teams the chance to snatch players our scouting team have identified.

Japheth Tanganga, never heard of him, a youth team player I'm guessing, what's he like?

The way one report put it was "first he was heading to Roma, then he was heading to Tottenham and now he's off to PSG."

Think this one is all about the other side to be honest...

Yeah, I've no doubt this is mainly Veron and his agent whoring him about
