We were interested in January and couldn't get the player either because we couldn't agree the fee or his club did not want to release him then as I understood it. At that point we must have rated him surely ?
Since then we have had a change of heart ( for whatever reason ) and the rags have moved in on the player.
I don't see what the issue is , as we appear to be the party who decided to pull out of the transfer and move on to Jorginho.
I personally didn't see our games against Shaktar and know little about him, but he must be a decent player but hopefully not as good as the player we have moved on to.
If he's going to the rags so what, our team will still be so much better than them .
