Malcom

When transfers take so long and we not prepared to go in with good offer so they snap it up quick then the delay can always lead to goalposts moving...we must be terrible to deal with so not surprised

Operation ‘Hijack Burnley’s bid for Aaron Lennon’ is go!

I went through the usual range of emotions in 5 minutes, i'm good to go.

By us or them I wonder

It’s always them, never us

 

[thebenjamin]

I hear Lee Trundle's available

By the tone of JJ’s post I would assume the latter.

It’s a familiar story really. As has been said, our record of buying attacking players is awful.

As soon as it gets into the press we're done. The only big deals we ever pull off are a fait accompli by the time the media gets the story.

Will be interesting to see how we react now. DL must be having sleepless nights about us going into the new stadium without CL.

 

[Spurrific]

It's a shame a lot of us got our hopes up as if you look at it objectively, we were always going to struggle to get this one over the line. Oh well, Sissoko to dominate the right wing for the rest of our lives.

You know for once I almost think that we should bend over and let them fuck us because we’re utterly incapable of signing a good attacking player (apart from Son) and it’s fucking embarrassing.

I think the problem the club have is if the wages needed to force a deal through upset our wage structure, which makes it harder for us then the other top sides.

 

[Streetspur77]

Incoming people with no idea why it collapsed or why goalposts were changed saying we're shit at signing players

Or the player/agent. Three parties all need to be in agreement for a transfer to happen. I don't know the details on this one(who is at fault), but it wouldn't be the first time an agent all of a sudden makes new deal breaking demands just as a deal was close.

Sorry but I hardly think 20-Year old Malcom from Bordeaux is asking for £150k a week.

Well they wouldn’t be wrong

We’ve signed one acceptable forward in the last 10 years.

Arsenal were in talks with him, he probably isn't after peanuts, but I agree fee more likely the issue in this case as well as the usual agent/3rd party crap associated with Brazilians.

 

[EastLondonYid]

Well i never saw that one coming.....

Mata anyone?

That’s a bit hyperbole tbf but definitely none since Son 3 years ago.

Add in the third party who owns 40% or whatever it was.
