Personally and I'll probably get shit for it but lopes isn't good enough imo. Suits a Europa league club like the rags...
On the other hand that same source said it was 95% done a couple of weeks ago.
You'd think we'd have known what his intentions were before him announcing it on stage..
Said it live on stage at an award show,about an hour agoWhat???? Is that from the horses mouth?
Pretty much exactly how I feel albeit I still think there could be a u-turn.I am sure I will get slated, but I am not that disappointed.
One of the main reasons we have looked so good this season is we are playing with pace on both flanks, and nothing un-nerves defenders more than pace.
Although he would have been an upgrade on Navas, I would have preferred us to spend the money (and £50m is a lot of money) on someone with real threatening pace, and an end product.
We can't blame Txiki, clearly KDB didn't fancy the challenge in the end. His loss, we move on.
What's the 'state' of it?Totally fucking gutted, mate. Devastated.
Abject.
For once I was quietly confident this would get fucking done. That'll teach me.
The absolute STATE of our transfer business.
Decided to stay where he is
Not really sure what's going on to be honest! City thought the deal was close, and apparently even his agent (who's been encouraging him to move to City) wasn't aware he was going to make this announcement tonight. Strange scenario, but seems pretty definitive when he's done if so publicly.
he said the medical was last thursday lolAnonymous says it's still ON! Crisis averted.
