Don't worry guys, apparently Sissoko is now our new CDM.

Do we need any more evidence of this summer window being an absolute fuck up?

We were clearly in for Kovacic but yet again a top CM has gone to a rival / Chelsea. Yes, we weren't linked with him in the media but I find it very hard to believe we weren't trying for him.

BBC saying Kovacic having medical at Chelsea. Whereas we'll probably have Sissoko in CM for good portions of this season. So tremendously frustrating.

especially considered we have cl and they haven't. We are on the height (sofar) in terms of reputation and revenue and we still can't manage to sign quality players. We can't compete with the manc clubs but we should be able to compete with Arsenal n Chelsea (?) – at least now when they both have been shit and can't offer cl.

Wait so how is all this going with the stories that Modric wants a move? Surely they aren't going to do both.

Can't remember who but one outlet was reporting Modric is meeting with Perez today. Kovacic will go to Chelsea and they'll continue that unless that meeting goes topsy turvey.

Seems like there are extenuating factors in this transfer

The Courtois move and the fact Kovacic might be returning to RM after his loan

If so, then I guess that's just life; not a lot we can do about it

I'm well prepared, can't imagine anything that hasn't been said already will pop up as far as arguments against the clubs actions. Just can't wait to see the BSODL in full force.
Better head to the Toby thread, things are warming up again.

Classic comment in here.

We probably haven’t tried for kovacic so haven’t missed out on him.

Itk suggests we haven’t been interested in zaha for a while and also don’t view him as good value so haven’t missed out on him.

The point being that I hope Poch is the main reason behind us not to step up our interest and not the financial department

In Poch we trust.

Every fucking comment I get scared it's going to be the official source from Chelsea, deal done.
Haha it's okay my friend but you need to come to terms with it. He was always going to be a sweetner to get the Courtios deal over the line.

Think this shows where we are considered regarding the pecking order of clubs, remember when we happily sold Bale and then Ozil fucked off down the road but we got a super special partnership for some training cones or something.
