Tevez took months aswell but at least we got him I suppose. If we (as I am beginning to suspect) fail with this, we should just go with what we have, I really don't see how Upson, Bassong or Distin are an improvement on what we have and if Neds form cointinues from where he left off last year, with Kolo beside him we shouldnt leak too many goals.

I think Upson is a very good defender, instrumental to West Hams defense, albeit a little old (30?) .

Ahem, Barry, Adebayor, both done very quickly as transfers go. The Tevez one was so protracted because of the 3rd party ownership needing sorting. Lescott is being drawn out because we are trying to find a price acceptable to both us and Everton and are increasing our bid by small amounts. I'm willing to bet that a good deal of transfers last this long but are played out away from the public eye because the selling club don't run to the media like little bitches.

We only feel that some of our transfer dealings are long-drawn-out affairs because we follow every twist and turn with great interest. If we chose to track the transfer dealings of other clubs with the same focus and dedication, we'd think they were "sagas" too. Look at Darren Bent to Sunderland for example. And Chelsea have been trying to sign Pirlo since the dawn of civilisation.bluemoonmatt said:Farmer Blue said:Ahem, Barry, Adebayor, both done very quickly as transfers go.

I'm not suggesting that all our transfer dealings get drawn out like this, but 60 to 70% seems a rather high proportion, especially when so many end up failing anyway. These saga's just serve to give the meedja more time to prepare their various "ruining football" / "City lack class" / "What price loyalty" style diatribes against our club like were the only ones who have ever tried to buy a player from a club reluctant to sell.
