Has to be with Alves and probably general frustration at missing out on a position we needed. We had a gentleman's agreement, don't see how Txiki can get the blame for a player completely going back on his word.

Gentlemans agreement or not, if you were a player in the twilight of your carreer and someone offered you double what was on the table...what would you do ??
 
Well I would like to go back to last year and hope that the new signings will assist our inability to hit the target despite having many shots on goal.
This chronic attacking flaw that Pep alluded to several times should now be cured so it matters little who we play at full back because we will score many more goals this coming season.

Many games hinged on a single goal by us yet we should have scored 4 or more so full backs and defence may be a problem but I am confident our attack will know where the goals are now.

Well thats my plan in the absence of class fullbacks.
 
I wonder why are so lazy at completing deals. I wouldn't be surprised if mendy went to Liverpool now and get te deal wrapped up quickly .

Well we should have got him to put pen to paper BEFORE he went on Holiday, and getting Married & Honeymoon. Thats three chances

The rookie mistake would have been signing him there and then. Obviously his heart was not in it.

We don't know his reasons, it could have been promise of a longer contract, more playing time, or even more money.

I'd hope it was either of the first two scenario's, rather than the latter.

It's neither, he just got married and his wife lives in Paris and wants to stay there. This is so frustrating though, verbal commits don't mean anything if we can't get pen to paper as soon as possible.

Even worse, this gives Levy all the leverage over the Walker transfer. We'll probably end up paying over 50m for him now...

Fullbacks should play a central role in attack though. It's just that last season our fullbacks couldn't do it well.
 
Without having to go back through the 50 pages that have appeared, how do we know we had any kind of agreement with him, verbal or otherwise?

That`s the question as here we are again, Isco,Laporte now Alves.

Lets just hope some good comes of this by way of Pep being more hands on with Signings, and maybe Maffeo or another steps in/up
 
Just caught up on the past fifty pages or so.

What a monumental clusterfuck. Nobody comes out of this looking good.

We look like tools for relying on a verbal agreement, Alves looks like a snake for breaking one.
