Yevhen Konoplyanka [Sevilla]

OK - that's one. But we're not really in a position to go head to head with City in the transfer market and come out successfully.

Are there any others?

i agree we cannot arm wrestle with city for him, but if we hadnt been fannying around polishing the chrome plating on our Harley Davidson we could have had this wrapped up weeks ago.

We could have checked him out before City were linked in the last couple of days. Mvila springs to mind as well. But if the club has a main target that is attainable in the summer I'd rather wait tbh.

Or maybe Rodgers doesn't want one, which is possible.

Yann M'Vila and Saul Niguez were both looked and were attainable. Not sure if there was ever anything in those links though. It appears it was never a target area for us in reality.

OK - that's two more.

Maybe there were negotiations. Maybe there weren't. None of us know.

I think we could have covered our bases better and tried to agree a deal for both Salah and Konop at the same time, then took our pick of which deal we wanted to complete. Whether this is actually possible or not though I'm not sure, I suspect it's far more complicated than it sounds.

Well, when you put it that way, I can see why the whole thing is a massive disaster.

whats Brendan saying on SSN?

Obviously interest - see how it evolves complicated

Staff over there give us every chance, happened quickly, tight because of timeline.

That's it really.

Especially when your are trying to work with payments spread over months and years not the full value up front.

Clearly it's a lack cash or FFP that has held us back this window.

[Pablo]

Nothings clear is it. That's the point. We don't have a clue. Apart from Chazza. He knows everything.

[Chazza]

Well said fake.

[Daffy Duck]

Seydou Keita joined Valencia on a free transfer yesterday, till the end of the season I'm sure he could have done a decent job until Lucas gets back.

[meffin]

Wrong thread?

[Daffy Duck]

We were talking about realistic DM options a few posts back?

[Pablo]

As with most things, this is all Dom's fault
