It can't be that simple, surely. If we could've got it done quickly for 40m then there would be absolutely no reason not to do it. 

We always seem incapable of getting deals done quickly - it has happened time and time again

As I said earlier in this thread. We've got €80m or something from Gordon.  Stop fucking about and just activate the €40m release clause and get the deal done.  Instead of trying to negotiate it down to 30-35m Euros and risking missing out.

Is there any evidence we've done that?

Surely the most likely explanation is the player was speaking to different clubs?

Even Romano said player was interested in coming - we were discussing with the clubs.  We fucked it up man - AGAIN

Any evidence we didn't activate the release clause?  Yes we've been discussing the exact fee over the last week.  Their is no discussion if we just activate the release clause fully.

Obviously don’t know truly what’s been going on with this one but it’s hard not to be frustrated. Feels like we fuck about and then get blown out of the water.

 

Learned fuck all from last summer it feels.

Come on guys. Activating the clause a week earlier would have done fuck all. Liverpool would have been in their ear the whole time 

You don't know that - haggling just opens the door.  I do wonder how much PIF slow the process down as they seem to run by committee.  They seem to have to approve everything.

I'm very frustrated but I don't see any evidence we've done anything wrong. Surely the guy's agent would've been shopping him around all the time and has got a bite from a bigger club.

At this point the evidence is us.

Well yeah, different clubs including us, but he prefers Liverpool.

 

Liverpool haven't sat and discussed an offer.  They've just activated the release clause.  We could have done that a week ago.  If Liverpool had then done the same fair enough.  We couldn't blame anyone then.  But that's not how it's happened.  We've tried to save a few million discussing the exactly deal they will accept and left it long enough for Liverpool to just come in and activate the clause and it's deal done for them.  All so unnecessary when he's replacing a guy we've just received €80m for and his release fee was half that.

 

Fuck this, genuinely pissed off, glass and Scotch time and forget NUFC exist for a bit.
