Exactly. I'm not even fully convinced we were ever in for this guy. Reported nowhere over here as far as I'm aware (yet). Twitter says he was having a medical yesterday AND today and now this.

I call shenanigans.

whats fouth official saying??

Never believed this one, have barely looked at the thread.

Nothing. Not a peep. Hopefully stays that way.

Didn't the Lyon president say we made a bid? Sometimes player negotiations aren't publicized because they aren't "sexy" enough. Maybe there was a bid but the player was never interested? My guess anyway

Hopefully we offer him a better contract, within reason.

No, by all accounts he had an amazing offer up to 20x his current salary. We move on. Don't dwell on these things. Not meant to be - big deal, his loss. But he's entitled to that.

Same way that the Napoli man said we'd bid for Koulibaly. And the Zenit man said we'd bid for Witsel.

But did we?

Spot on plus he also needs to have the desire to play for us.

Already. History mate.

If things get into he media, it is usually the agents doing. That is why I think we may have potentially bid for this guy. It might have just been misdirection (which is another possibility as well).

He's a great player and we will rue missing out on him.

Didn't realise it was that good an offer, shame.

Could be. I'm not in the business at all, but it feels a bit like teams know we have a bit of cash so use us for whatever reason.

Agreed Browns.

Wait a minute you're NOT in the business? AT ALL?
