he can't make people come. Our successes with KDB, Sane, Sterling, Jesus, Gundogan, Stones, Bernardo as well as many in the academy we've convinced to come shows we do a very, very good job at putting an enticing prospect on the table. There have been 2 instances that for very particular reasons a player has decided against it, just 2. You will never convince everyone to buy in, and even when you do (as we clearly did then) there is sometimes a personal reason that just prevents the move from happening. It's really harsh and unfair to criticise someone because they essentially can't conduct mind control on every single target. The fact we were so close on even the failures shows you how hard, and how well we worked, occasionally it's just not meant to be.
