The player that many on here didn't want fails to get signed for whatever reason and what happens ?
Loads post how we failed to sign him and what a mess our club is without knowing the facts.

The fact is, so i've been told, that the delay which caused the paperwork not to be done in time was at the Barnsley end.

Of course that doesn't matter to some people who always assume that it's our Club at fault.

At the same time I was told that the Arias deal was all done, for £12 m, but PSV held it up because they couldn't get a replacement in time. And we're still in for him in January.

I trust in PC - if he thinks Yiadom is good for us then it's a shame he didn't come.
If what you say about Arias is true then that sounds great.
Hopefully we have a pre-contract agreement

Shame Arias didn't come but he'll be budget buy in Jan window. I think frustration wasn't Yaidom per say, but leaving it so late to get cover we need in defence. And then cock up paperwork at when paperwork was fine for McBunrie. Not the first time we've messed up on simple admin, which is amateurish decor a PL club.

Spot on. When you leave things so late you run this risk. If you are working to deadlines on key deals you should have all bases covered with 48 hours breathing space to deal with the unforeseen. This applies to all business deals not just football. I posted this on here and was slaughtered for it. The point that I was making was not wholly a Yaidom issue but was taken as such, perhaps by those who failed to read my post carefully, but to do with issues surrounding paperwork. This is a feature of our dealings. If we would have moved earlier, the Barnsley problem would not have happened and perhaps PSV could have got a replacement sorted. They couldn't be addressed because there was no time left...which is the point that I was making in my original post. Interestingly West Brom were like lightening with their deals. All done quickly with a few days tp spare. This was especially the case with Gibbs who was nailed on to go to Watford.

So, even if the blame in these cases lies with the other clubs it could have been avoided with earlier action. That is.... if it was the other clubs. It may well be, it may not be. Who knows?

All good stuff.

However it was reported back in April that Arias was our main target with yiadom our back up so how the feck did we make such a song and dance about making a deal for Arias that PSV didn't have time to get a replacement for him?

If we are suggesting that we couldn't set up a deal for Arias until the sigurdsson deal was completed then there is something wrong if we are that short of cash. But even if we are that short of cash, surely a deal in principle could have been agreed with PSV whilst the sigurdsson discussions were ongoing to allow them time to get a replacement in themselves?

My understanding is that the arias deal was never agreed. We went in with 6M which was rejected early in the window. The story is we went back in with a much lower offer in the last days of the window. This obviously got rejected too. Hence the late actual move for Yiadom.

Makes more sense but an equally strange way of trying to fill an obvious hole in the squad.

Of course, people need to realise that 'your understanding', and what actually happens in the real world are quite a way apart aren't they!

If it hadn't been left so late, then a delay with the paperwork wouldn't have been an issue.

Of course, there may however be a perfectly good reason for it being left so late but if there is then it's not one we are aware of.

We've needed a right back for three years.

There's no excuse for last-minute scrabbling around on the close of the transfer window.

No I don't sign the paperwork but we have previous for not getting paperwork in time. Still begs question why wait until last hour for player we'd been interested in for months. Do you know?

That we didn't offer enough is more consistent with what PSV / Agent said about not having formal offer. Easier to believe story blaming others, when our Board have been playing the same trick of blaming others for not getting 'target' players last few Summers. We didn't have any problems selling players.

And 17 is to much, I'd go for Kevin Miralas if we're still interested in filling that position in January, think he'll be worth more though may well be 25mill for him, can't see us stretching ourselves that far though.

I've got a theory that will rock this site to it's very foundations.

1. We weren't prepared to pay more than what we thought Arias was worth, but talk of a £6m offer that was rejected being met with a much lower offer is quite frankly ludicrous.

2. Once we realised PSV, weren't going to lower their demands, we were not prepared in any shape or form to rush through a deal for a player who had already failed a medical at another premier league club.

3. 9/11 was a terrorist attack and not a deliberate plot by the U.S. government to start a war in Iraq. (they used other excuses for that).

I agree with you 100% on Barnsley being at fault. However, we are well practised and are a premier league club, we should have ensured they didn't mess it up and that is as much the clubs fault as Barnsley.

Quite right. The one that stuck to their guns over their valuation. And the one that stood up to Manchester City over Jonny Evans. The one that has increased it's strength in depth by not being pushed about by so called bigger clubs, agents and players themselves. The one that can also attract players making them even stronger.

Basically it's our fault, so then we can still whinge about it. Even if it's not really. OK?

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
