Absolutely fucking pathetic from us. If you do the deal quickly rather than fanny around and act in good faith, you get players in. Laporte did similar last year.

It's at least somewhat arguable that we need more players like Alves who elevate flopping tartishness to an art form. At least in Europe, where we always seem a bit too proper and usually get the worst of things for it.
But I can't be too upset about missing this guy. For me he always personified everything I couldn't stand about Barca and their incessant play-acting. (Klaxon) Didn't want him anyway alert!

Well we had a deal in place. If Alves thinks PSG in a nothing league is more important than a final year or two in the Premier league then I am glad we haven't signed him.Just feel like he has played us and used our interest and the Pep factor for a better deal. Bearing this in mind we should have been wrapping this up and beating PSG to his signing - surely we could have sold the Pep project to him.
Thanks for stating the obvious though r.e. the official site. If you have a look through the forum though there are plenty of respected ITK's who stated that this deal, along with a couple others, were/are 'nailed on'.

More money.
Paris.
The quality and importance of football drops to 4th place for the remaining 2 years of his career.
Shit happens!
We've done it to plenty of clubs.
When that first whistle get's blown against Everton, Dani Alves will be a distant memory.
Unfortunately this strengthens Levy's hand, as regards Walker.
I'm hoping we turn up for Brighton, first.

He bottled it
Our fullbacks were out of contract we have to either a) Give them a new contract or b) Release them.The disappointing thing is we let all our full backs go before having any in the bag.
We have no full backs and this was the absolute priority last summer, never mind this.
Hopefully it will get sorted soon but we need 4!!!
We cannot keep them on until we get others and then release them. If they weren't good enough releasing them was the right thing to do.
I'd rather get players in only if they are totally committed. If his heart isn't in it at 34 it would have been a mistakeAbsolutely fucking pathetic from us. If you do the deal quickly rather than fanny around and act in good faith, you get players in. Laporte did similar last year.

His heart isn't in PSG. If we'd have closed the deal quickly rather than prancing around, he'd be a City player now and we wouldn't be sat here still needing four fullbacks. The mismanagement to get to this stage is hilarious.
