It’s not a blame game. It’s a PR game. City had no need to expose themselves to looking stupid and out of the loop. It was an unecessary and pointless risk.
Folk on here would watch the entire club's pay roll plough their missus and offer them a cup of tea afterwards than ever accept such a thing.If he turns up at Chelsea then we briefed a lie, when there was no need to do so, never mind trusting the word of any agent or player, which is amateurish in the extreme.
City must either be 100 per cent certain he is our player or accept they have dropped a bollock.

He’s been there for the past 2 days. Very long medical!Reported to be at Chelsea for a medical.
At 11 pm?Reported to be at Chelsea for a medical.
Who’s reporting it mate .Reported to be at Chelsea for a medical.
I can't for the life of me see how that would make us look stupid. If the info turns out to be false it just makes them look like lying, two faced ****s.
Txiki won't be hurrying back to do any dealings with them in the short term no doubt.It's one thing being completely taken for a ride, it's another thing advertising the fact.
What we are good at is determining players that will fit in, learn and develop. Our negotiation skills have a way to go, we either pay the asking price or lose the player it seems.
Napoli are the masters of negotiation and deception and we look like beginners next to them. However, I can't help thinking they've just made a powerful enemy and, in the long run, was that such a great idea?
They picked that story up from the ADL plant who changed his tune when the picture of Jorginho in Millan was published.
Being masters of duplicity is not the sane as being masters of negotiations.It's one thing being completely taken for a ride, it's another thing advertising the fact.

Real Madrid came a cropper by trying to re-jig FFP against us as they lost the financing for upgrading the Bernard Bowl. Forcing them into the same boat as ourselves. Needless to say the proposed changes were watered down as a result.That's true but if you are good at the first the second tends to follow. I think our owners have long memories though.
He's had 3 medicals mate, they've gotten very cautious after Barkley.He’s been there for the past 2 days. Very long medical!
also very weird not a single picture has surfaced of him being in London.
Now, now, who doesn't fly to Milan from Napoli via Gatwick?They picked that story up from the ADL plant who changed his tune when the picture of Jorginho in Millan was published.
:-DNow, now, who doesn't fly to Milan from Napoli via Gatwick?
