Confirmed Signing Arnaut Danjuma

[DanB90]

We essentially got him back to ours, slipped him a finger, but he bailed in a taxi as soon as he started sobering up.

He's still away with Villarreal....its not even "close" dare I say.

I was annoyed at the time, but now it kind of makes sense, and I don't really blame him.

The manager he was signing for got sacked. The club was in a relegation scrap and he didn't know if the new boss would want him. Then along comes Champions League Spurs.

It didn't work out for him, but I understand why he did it.

I don't - he wanted gametime/exposure and he opted to sign for a team on loan where he should have known he wouldn't get a kick.

I get we weren't an attractive proposition but for his situation - us vs Spurs on loan for a few months - it should have been a no brainer.

Horrible little rodent

Says more about the sad state of the club that we've gone back with the begging bowl to a player that publicly humiliated us 6 months ago

We have a long history.Luís Antônio Corrêa da Costa,Fabrizio Ravanelli...

I’m pretty sure we humiliated ourselves.

We had him in the building, media done - but didn’t push to get the contract signed before all the faffing around. We ignored the most important part to take some pictures.

Then the decision was made to sack the manager on the very same day the player was due to sign, showing even more chaotic incompetence.

Genuinely, I don’t blame the lad for running at the time when his agent said Spurs were in for him.

Now though, there’s a semblance of stability with the manager and he’s guaranteed playing time.

Welcome again, Rat.

Nice to be his 2nd choice again but beggars can't be choosers

 

[ToffeeTim]

Well if he plays well and scores goals, then all will be quickly forgotten. Football fans are easily won over with good performances, myself included.

But if he doesn't perform, then we will look extremely silly with this. It feels like a gamble and slightly desperate to me, but I guess time will tell...

Nah, we done everything we needed to do. It was his agent who never handed the contracts over to the PL iirc.

Richy was playing and not scoring to be fair. If he was told he’d get a crack to oust a non-scoring player at a far better squad than ours and link up with Kane and Son over Maupay and Gray I can see why he made the choice

I think this is right. We needed the agent to submit paperwork (possibly the player's registration to the FA/PL IIRC), and then they went down to Spurs.

The club takes some of the blame for not getting it fully finalised before doing the media, but the player basically walked halfway down the aisle and left us at the altar
