We have no idea what it has gained, and probably wont feel the full benefit for a while. What it does say is that ickle old Man City wont be fucked around and cling on to any slither of light from under the door. Barca, AC Milan and Real can carry on noshing one another off so that their presidents can save face, but we will catch them.
Barca's transfer targets have now come tumbling like a deck of cards, they needed us, instead they messed us around, unlike last year we have pulled the trigger on them. Its great news.

Of course i would have been over the moon if we had just signed him ,but we couldnt just leave it and wait and become a laughing stock again ,so yes iam pleased we pulled out on Our terms.But tbh i think they will be contacting us very soon they need to sell him and yes eto probably wants c/l football but no one will match our offerGrimble said:svennis pennis said:Grimble said:but we are no better off for saying no, it has gained us nothing and has to be marked down as another failure.

Why, we did it for blackburn. Fat sam and Blackburn fucked us off and kept us waiting a year and still we paid over the odds. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the Stella, but i see nothing to be "so pleased" about here, just a sadness that we have missed out on a world class player. Maybe if/when the truth comes out i will feel differently.
I think you hit the nail on the head there. Plus even if it doesn't work this gives us chance to look at the likes of Fabiano and Aguero, either of whom are certainly not bad for a plan B.Didsbury Dave said:I take the point fellas.
When I went to Morocco, I was taught how to haggle.
The most powerful tool you can use is called "walking out of the souk" ( a souk is a market)
Suddenly, the buyer has all the power if the seller chases them.
Unless the seller lets them go, of course, and then the power is all with the seller. So you only walk out of the souk if you are confident the buyer needs to sell.
It is a lesson which I use in business all the time.
Am I being too hopeful or could this be what we are doing?
