Oh my that is devastating :(

No way can we pick up King as his backup though. Extremely limited footballer, and compared to Balde Diao he's plain bad. I did read in a Norwegian paper a few days ago that he's on about 15k or so in weekly wages currently so probably gonna be very cheap to pick up (y)

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

Mate, as far as I am concerned please keep posting! It's a fascinating insight into the world of transfers which most of us don't see or fully understand!

Just amazing how things can unravel like that!

Thanks for all the info as always!

I don't think we need to start having a pop at the club on this one. This doesn't sound like it was a case of classic Levy brinkmanship or struggling to agree a fee and more that the player just decided to chose Juve over us. Shit decision if you ask me, they are littered with attacking players so good luck to him finding playing time in amongst that lot.

Mate don't worry all you did was let us know we were trying to get it done. It's football - things happen

Yet again it proves either the club spends too long on the wrong/unachievable targets or incapable of getting deals over the line. Either way we will end up short or panick signing shite like the norm.

In honor of this moment in our history I have changed my avatar as a memorial to all the hopes and dreams horribly slaughtered by recent events.

To be honest its just reassuring to know we were actually trying to do something big. Just shit luck as per with Spurs.

Agree. it was so exciting because it wasn't such a coup, stealing a march on a team like Juve...the same reasons it eventually failed.

If it's been on for months then maybe we should have tried harder to tie it up earlier. I'm assuming the player has had a change of heart and wants to stay in Italy.

So depressing though, exactly the type of player we needed. Hopefully we've got decent secondary options in mind

No - he's saying he likes watching the 'over reaction' meltdowns, and likes even more the negativity towards Levy

I was aswell pointing fun at the way in which people try and interpret itk..

Maybe it's not quite the environment for jokes right now
