I have haven't I. Was delighted it was happening - watched him a lot last season, excellent player that would have suited us perfectly. We misread it and I get fed up with all the caravan circling, excuse making and monetary purse string holders in here.You seem to have taken this particular non-transfer to heart, mate.

I’m sure they will buy a lower priced player as cover and leave Cancelo as 1st choice LB.
I honestly didn’t know enough about him to get excited or disappointed. It’s obviously a position that’s been in need of strengthening for a time, even more so now but I’m quite cool about it atm. I still believe we will make a signing before the window closes, I don’t think we a daft enough to leave ourselves so short and reliant on players staying fit to get us through the season.I have haven't I.

Forget Liverpool's "net spend" trophy, our gleeful "we walk away" trophy gets a good polishing - usually after we've undervalued.
"he wasn't perceived as a big talent"
That's not true, you don't start you career at La Masia if your not talented, he is talented maybe a late developer and Brighton paid a considerable sum for him in their terms, so clearly they rated him highly.
We should be looking far more at this type of deal for MCFC not the CFG, it looks like we have a gem in Alvarez, Jesus was a bargain, there are uncut gems out there.
Well maybe more should, he has probably quadrupled his wages over the last 14 months and is now very much in the big time.A player perceived as a big talent doesn't go to Brighton at 23 y.o. for 15m. Who was after him last summer, given he was available at 15m and perceived as a top talent? No top team, right? That's the answer for you. Not ever youngster at Barca's academy is (perceived as) a big talent.
Teams like City are amongst the best in the world precisely because they don't sign unproven players for the 1st team. Better to wait and sign a player for 50m than to fill the squad with unproven talents.
