Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

We did want him, but we don't necessarily need him.

I'm disappointed but Leroy Sane putting pen to paper for us may well be more important right now anyway.

Wasn't this the reason Hazard did not move to City? Agent fee could not be agreed to? I don't recall exactly.

Seems so.

Shame, but I still can imagine agents trying to push the boat out prior to signing, just they hit too greedy this time.
 
Lol. The story was bullshit from the start. He used the wage demands and agent as an excuse to backtrack. We never agreed a fee with Dortmund. More outlets would have reported it if we had.
he didn't backtrack, he stated all along that we were refusing to pay the amounts along with that we agreed a fee with BVB in his first story. So not exactly backtracking. if anything he is consistent with his story.
 
Wasn't really arsed we were going to sign him, not arsed that we rejected him.

Who says we have rejected him?

Some Italian clown who has now had two hits saying it was on and then off?

Ask yourselves in whose interests was this 'story' supposed to serve?

City wouldn't be briefing about it, certainly not to an Italian journalist who said we had agreed a fee with his club but somehow hadn't done the fucking diligence to establish what the actual personal/agent financiam package was, beforehand?

Nope.

Dortmund? As if they would also brief a foreign journalist that they had agreed a fee only for him to bugger the whole thing up and make Aubameyang look like he had wrecked the deal.

Or, and this is me with my dirty Colombo mack on...

A know nowt Italian journalist, hiding behind the supposed legitimacy of the Guardian, who decided to write a complete flyer and have everyone discussing it for a few hours.
 
That was Isco i think,maybe Hazard as well

Yup, both. Hazard was especially impressive, as the time we took piss arsing about with his agent allowed enough time for Chelsea to win the Champions League and buy him instead.
