Drop the price by a£1m, then move on. We have spent enough time chasing players that never turn up, even though we were looking to pay over the odds. If the Harrison plug had not been pulled we would have been stitched up again. With Rudkin and Whelan involved, nothing is ever going to change. We paid £31m for Slimani; if I recall, Steve Walsh had a fixed amount of £20m as his top price. We are poor at evaluating a player and negotiating the price we are willing to pay.

I'm not going to get into a debate on rudkin here - but you're saying that because of their actions it's 'right' to suggest that the knock on effect will be to threaten our promotion? That's mental.

If he was costing 50 million fairplay, try and get best payment structure. 6 million euros, just get him in. Not the case in the EFL sadly. FFP rules actually reasonably strict at this level. Either way, I’m a bit baffled you get so far down the garden path with a signing only for a major part of the terms to hold it back. Equally both clubs are at fault for that.

Yes, the whole club could be working 24/7 for the next incoming, but it does not appear people are in place to progress us forward. That comes back to the people we have dealing with other clubs and their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - but i wasn't talking about our ability to negotiate deals, i was talking about how certain fans would use this to go on some bizarre rant about the delay costing us promotion....
