The club haven't accepted any bid yet so beggars belief how this is their fault.
They've rejected 3 offers and the manager has had to answer the same question for 2 months solid; making his stance known.
Player hands in transfer request and this is somehow the boards fault, err ok. The board have a lot of failings, this is player power pure and simple. The same as sterling, De Gea, suarez, bale, berbatov (the list is endless) and every other player whose head as been turned by a "bigger club".
Money speaks in football, if John stones was at arsenal I'd still expect Jose to be acting the same way, he wanted his man and he made it perfectly known. The media then ran with it and the time prevailed.
John stones is the bad guy in this situation for leaving it so late, come out in June and say "lads I want to give it a go, thanks for the development but I'd love to give this a shot". We'd be annoyed but at least have time to plan and build.
He's screwed us and Barnsley
