Chelsea came into the race late, if we'd given him/his entourage what they wanted we could have had him before Chelsea even won the Champions League. His alleged tour of the Cheshire housing market was 2 weeks before the CL final and he was 100% definitely in a private box at the derby in April.

We don't have to be every players first choice.
