What is getting tiresome is the likes of you pointing the finger at the delay with Barcelona.
They have allowed their player to come and have talks, no doubt they have a transfer fee agreed.
More like the issue/delay is between us and the player.
This is small change to Barca, but yeah let's blame them anyway. It was them that cocked up the Leroy For deal, it was them that kept cocking up the Yobo transfer and it was them that never got the papers sent to the FA that time with Belgian midfielder ( when Belgians were boss, not now though they are snidey greedy gets )
It was Barca who got a work permit for us for Ever Banega when we had never done a deal with Valencia.
It's all Barcelona's fault.
Seriously people, you really do believe we are infallible.
