I imagine Guardiola and Begiristain will both be furious. A bit of a fuck up on our behalf though, we should have got something signed rather than taking his word for it.
This was the point i was trying to make a few days ago mate.....All this "gentleman's agreement" and "sign when you back from your holidays" rubbish only allows clubs more time to put a better offer on the table.....strike while the iron is hot and you get your man! Wont be surprised if we just had to add an extra 10mil to our offers for Mendy and Walker now......we made a rookie mistake in this transfer! Now we need to fix it!
It's been a while, the last tie I went it was full of pricks dressed like ****s.When was the last time you were in the Northern Quarter?
Tbh I am glad we didn't force him to put pen to paper. I want someone totally committed to playing in the Premier League. It's a big ask at 34. Obviously he didn't fancy it so although it's a blow hearing it today, it's for the best. I really hope he has rang pep and the people at City who arranged this for him. if not, then I hope we meet PSG in the latter stages and that Jesus absolutely destroys him.If this turns out to be true he's a snakey little **** and fuck him.
I appreciate him being on holiday when it was verbally agreed and therefore the reluctance to drag him back from wherever he was in order to sign, but could someone not have gone out to him to get something formalised that would have prevented this happening, thus allowing him to continue with his break and preventing someone coming in and stealing him from under our noses?.....
