We never let them go, their contract was up. So we really had no options there.As many have mentioned, we really should have got our full-backs sorted out before we let our current ones go... now everyone knows how desperate we are for full-backs, a few more quid will be added to any transfer fee... and to let Alves slip through our hands - if indeed he has - is terrible business from us – hopefully Pep will be fucking furious with Txiki and make sure he gets all outstanding business done a.s.a.p.
Medical passed in Paris
Apparently Alves kept calling Txiki about getting the contract signed and we were just really laid backed saying "we'll do it whenever you're back from your hols", "we've got a yes from you, so no rush" etc. He called Txiki a couple times more to get things sorted but just kept being met by voicemail.
PSG called and said "get here asap and we'll get the contact signed" and that's what he did.
Don't worry the social media team is stacking up irrelevant news/pictures to tweet out en masse to make it seem like business as usual.Going to be riots in here. What I don't understand is why havn't we briefed the media on our side??

Why should we. Did we ever declare any interest in public?
