Didn't we ask him to stay after Shearer got injured and he said no and went to Spurs anyway?

 

Always heard that the deal was done so too late to cancel, but was that the timeline? 

 

Transfer fee accepted, so obviously too late for the club to cancel, but he could still have pulled out from personal terms? 

 

Obviously yes his quality dropped off a cliff for Spurs, but from continuity and habit alone he would have been better for us, I think.

Believe it was after personal terms had been agreed but before the medical. But, iirc, also after Freddie Shepherd had gracefully told him to get stuffed in his traditional fashion.

 

So far as I'm aware, a club can cancel a deal at any time before it's gone through, it's not like buying a house in Scotland...
