The same LaSexta you quoted the the other day that said the deal was done? Don't bother with it all. It's the same with SSN over here saying "oh it's a real saga now" It's boring and just being used to sell papers/get website hits/gain viewers.
We probably did both. Didn't offer enough in transfer fee and didn't offer enough in wages so now club and player are blaming eachother for the deal collapsing.
I'd love to be optimistic but a few training sessions and few pre-season games is not going to be enough to transform our style of play. As soon as the pressure is on, Pardew will retreat back into his default mode.
Is it safe to assume this could happen seeing as our bid went public and QPR didn't slap it down saying something like "there's no way he's going on loan" or anything like that.
