It's Quiet - a new dawn

I'm at a loss to know what people think we should have done to "make him sign"

Waterboarding would have done the job or playing maureen moaning in his ears for 24hrs

Not really as Doughnut would be leaving and he has been their saviour these last two seasons

True, but can't imagine Joe in a scum shirt. All those memories would deffo be tarnished a little for me

Everyone's an exspert but in reality sadly nobody is!:))

But we cannot force him to sign. We had to wait and sadly in the interim, in his opinion, a better offer came along.

Whether he intended to sign, was hoping for another offer, we do not know. All we could do was wait if he has given us his word.

I have no doubt this is not unique in the world of transfers. Some work out somedont. Case in point being Fabian Delph how things can change so quickly.

Then we will have learnt our lesson in taking players at their word.

People keep saying we messed up and were at fault but no one will state exactly what we could have done differently.

The guy is a top class player, available on a free. He held all the cards and we had to take him as his word.

We have probably contacted other players this summer indirectly who have given us the nod there interested. The negotiations with the club could take weeks/mths and those players could change their mind. Thats why transfers are a precarious business.

Why when plenty of others have signed? Do you think this is a unique situation?

There was rumours that Aurier was off, which is the reason PSG started talks with Alves....Doesnt he still have legal issues to sort out?

To be frank I've never really followed his off the feiid issues so I really don't know. Shame if we cannot go for him. I'd rather have him than Walker if I'm being honest. I think the dude will do very well in the EPL.

I'm saving that for the next time i need to get revenge on a bloke ha

I'll be honest missing out on Alves really hasn't left me deflated like other ones we have lost out on, and I feel similar about the possibility of sanchez not coming.


You cannot blame the club for his choice to go to PSG, seems he has been given an offer I am glad we wouldn't give if the case.

We do need to step it up fullback wise though and sort out the signings.

still exepect some good signings coming in
