Ok, maybe 18 months then, but not signing a contract isn't fucking someone about is it. the club have likewise had 18 months to improve whatever terms were on offer, does that mean they were fucking him about? inertia isn't fuckery.
There is absolutely zero evidence that he has been 'talking to bayern seeking a transfer'. none whatsoever, in fact, pep has said otherwise. couldn't give a fallen bawhair whether bayern were amazed he played for us in a cup game, he's our player, showed no signs of wanting to leave, they showed no signs of bidding to our valuation. certainly doesnt mean any deal was on the verge of being done.
finally, he didn't 'hurt himself', what a daft thing to say. And he has the right to choose his doctor. seems he chose well. he attended a few of our games during his recovery. you are glearly looking for things that arent there.
