Yevhen Konoplyanka [Sevilla]

[Tribute]

If there is something to be held accountable for, I have no doubt he will be... Like Comolli, Kenny etc.



FSG have certainly proven that.

How many transfer window failures does it take? Another couple maybe, y'know just to make sure... don't want to be too quick to judge...

[Catrin]

He already had that dispensation in the window, the hold up that meant he signed outside the window was us getting the third party ownership **** checked.

Parry doesn't have the best of reputations but he did know what he was doing on that occasion. Third party ownership of Tevez and Mascherano caused a lot of trouble for West Ham but we managed to avoid any of that.

Then perhaps he doesn't have anything to answer for, except to upset supporters looking for someone to blame because they didn't get a new toy.

So we chucked all our eggs in one basket and got our arses handed to us? That's just sheer incompetence. We have a transfer committee who are supposed to identify targets and get these players in. Its certainly not the Dnipro owners fault we got no players in.

There's always an excuse. There was multiple agents involved, the owner changed his mind, unrealistic price tags. Whatever excuses are trotted out this time, it doesn't matter as we look like amateurs again.

Still roll on the summer and lets get top 4.

...as long as the club don't mind about CL football either then. Thin squads are all the rage these days I hear.

[Fosterbloke]

Sounds like we were ****ed over at the last minute. Can't blame anyone for that. This isn't Hollywood.

[BigChief]

How do you come to that conclusion?

My biggest concern this window was not losing out on the likes of Salah or Konop - though they would have been welcomed. Its how Brendan 'may' have reacted/felt about LFC's 'committee'. As it happens we can blame the Russian - an historic and common enemy.

You know what, you're right... We're clearly not interested in it and have sent Ian Ayre out to the Ukraine with the express intention of doing nothing.

Now, where is that tin foil hat.

Excellent timing lol. Wonder how long the club had known the deal wouldn't be happening

[Leyton388]

Come across this on another forum and thought it was funny. Cheered me right up

*B = Bull****; S = Sense*



B1) We activated a release clause.



S1) Err..no. No we didn't. Because if we did, then it would be kind of illegal for it to be blocked. Moreover, if there was actually a release clause for Konoplyanka at £15m, I'd suggest there would be a hell of a lot more clubs in for him. What utter ****ing bollocks.



B2) Their mean crazy oligarch cunt of an owner just changed his mind at the last minute.



S2) Err...no. No, he didn't. There is no way would invite us to the Ukraine, assist us in conducting a medical, get his 'favourite player' all happy and excited just so he can say no at the last minute. This isn't cartoon network. He isn't dick dasterdly. Don't talk utter **** you ****ing ****.



B3) It was a complicated deal to get done in 3 days. You can't blame Ayre.



S3) If only we had a transfer window that was a whole month long! **** me, can you imagine that?! Can you ****ing imagine what we could achieve in all that time? Imagine all the players we could miss out on! Darnit. Oh wait...it is a month long? Ah, soz, didn't realise, I forgot that we spent 26 mother****ing days chasing a player who valued less than Konoplyanka. Im so glad we are going for the players we value least first, that is sound strategy. GO BOSTON!



I could go on but I genuinely can't be arsed

[chadrtc]

Well, I'm off to bed. I hope you all survive until the morning without topping yourselves or marching on Anfield with your pitch forks.

[el matador]

At least we still have victor Moses.

[TheElephantMan]

So did we sign him or not?

[Leyton388]

[Sarb]

The transfer structure simply does not work. Not bothered who it is comprised of but its highly inefficient. Where are the 4 targets for each position. Never seen that in a single transfer window. And frankly if the owner was being a cunt over triggering the release clause, there wasnt going to be much changing him in 48 hours

Suspect the blame isnt solely with ayre. But there are a load of people earning a load of money for doing the square root of **** all
