Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[Plain Speaking]

I do wonder if we have done all the leg work in the deal, to enable a rival club to steal in and pinch him at the death? As others have said we lost out to Hazard in a similar situation.

Did we?

 

[razman]

Did we?

i think it was pretty well documented ...if i remmember with mancini and marwood at odds

 

[SWP's back]

Did we?

Yes.

 

[Bill]

Did we?

yep. we fannied about and in the meantime Chelsea fluked the CL. the rest as they say.....

 

[mosssideblue]

Yes.

My bad. I thought it was something to do with us being unwilling to meet agent fee demands

 

[Danamy]

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.

Which is the best decision we ever made, we should never be held to ransom by agents, if we're not happy we walk away, simple

Agree.

But, I would love to fuck up the transfer market for every other twat, for about 5 years, by vastly overpaying for someone, after we have done all our deals & make it murder for them to sign any half decent player at a fair price.

Like rags etc have been doing for years & are still trying to do it now.

The agent fee demands increased when Chelsea won the CL if I'm not mistaken.

City thought they had him when he was our guest at the Kompany Derby.

He was the player I wanted, more than any other, but nowardays I'm not sure he's good enough & scores enough goals, to merit his 'when it suits' way of performing. Fantastic on his day but needs to score about 20 goals per season to be worth bending over for imo.
