I appreciate that they were saying it was 99% done . I also read we wouldn't sell lukaku for less than £100m , Koeman was seeing out his contract at saints , I saw Wayne's "once a blue tshirt " , I remember Delph staying at villa to leave a couple of days later and plenty more besides.

Until something is done it's not done is it ? I don't mean that in a rude way but if you're doing something and it's 99% done for ages then there is a problem , what I meant was we don't know what the problem was although it's speculated it was the buyout but if say they wanted a £40m clause it'd be 99% forever wouldn't it .

Yep. Agree with all that mate. It was the two words "no idea" I was responding to.

Normally when "rumours" are that strong theres usually some truth to it. In my mind something acted as a cataltst to change Lukakus mind, and thats why I liken it to this latest Barkley episode.
 
If the club have any sense they'd start talking to Spurs now. Get him out first day of next window. If we have to sell to buy then we don't need this to fester until the end of the window. Take 10 mill if we can get it.

Barkley at least had the sense to work out that if he went to Chelsea there's a very good chance that his career would suffer.

Sadly he isn't bright enough to realise it will at Spurs as well.
 
I'm surprised that it appears we needed the sale of Barkley to fund the aquasition of a striker. I thought we'd done a deal with a Chinese bank that gave us a massive overdraft, which was supposedly there to help us out in situations like this.

I agree on the proviso the player is content to sit on the sidelines for a season in WC year. I dont think he is so hes played those cards badly imo.

He's had the chance to sign a new contract with us. He wont. He had the chance to join Chelsea. He didnt.

He's holding out for a club that apparently value him lower than both Everton and Chelsea and have been happy to allow the lad to be hung out to dry in a WC year just so they can get a better deal.

Well done son. Ross and his agent may have held the better cards but they havent exactly played a blinder here.

He is injured until December, its not going to affect his world cup chances at all. He will more than likely get his move in January when he regains full fitness.

If i was Chelsea or Spurs, i would not have bought him now. Pay a higher fee for an injured player or wait till January and get him on a lower fee.

It's not hard to work out.
