Blame for what? Doing their job?
For using us to get more cash from Chelsea.
It's not professional to say you'd join.. then change your mind when it goes wrong.
Anyway.. its over. He isn't worth 110m and part of me thinks we did it to shine a light on the dodgy dealings in the shed end.
The worst thing I can say about this is, is that it's something Everton would find themselves doing.
Obviously not the sums involved, but a similar kind of mess. You had to actively go out of your way to balls it up this much.

They used a bidder to get more cash from their preferred target. That is doing their job. They are an agent.
I'd agree if Chelsea signed Lavia too, however they won't.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Yeah, I don't blame them.
If we matched Chelsea's salary and contract length we probably would have got him, but those 8 year contracts are nuts.
Wouldn't be so sure about that Mystic, unlike us Chelsea aren't afraid to throw the money on the table to get deals done......we on the other hand like to put dumb bids in for players when we know the selling club won't accept anything less than what they're willing to accept.
Our negotiations the last 5-6 weeks has been fucking appalling, Jorg may aswell have sent the Kop kids.
They don't. They've written off this season and Europe next season
I don't give a fuck how we have been made to look. He would have been very useful to us, more useful than to Chelsea.
On to our fourth or fifth choice for no compromises Liverpool.

Again.. they don't give a shit. They don't think the Premier league has the balls to punish them..
Why should they?
City? Still no punishment
Everton? Still no punishment
Yep, so worth a try
Do you at least give a fuck we couldn't competently negotiate a deal for Lavia, a player we're supposedly highly keen on?
Engaging in this bullshit transfer war when we should've been focusing on new targets. How many more days are we gonna let slip by?
Worth actually pursuing with decisive action months ago, then leaving ourselves plenty of time for other options.
We tried to highjack a deal instead.
Do you really think we're highly keen on him?
I don't give a fuck how it makes us look, I give a fuck about the fact that we don't have a dm and the season has started, and it was our number one priority for the summer.
We probably didn't have the money until Hendo and Fabinho moved on.
Well, we are like 48.5 million keen on him, but not 50 million keen on him. It's subtly different.
3 separate bids in the space of 2 weeks? Prepared to spend upwards of £45m for him?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Did you see Klopp's post match at the end there when both Caicedo and Lavia were mentioned? Clearly players we wanted. There's no sweeping the BS under the carpet on this 1. We've failed quite spectacularly and I fucking hope whatever plan B now will be good enough, otherwise pretty quickly we'll find out this season will be nothing more than a write off.
Right. I had the stupid idea we could perhaps be doing a few things at the same time.
Just checking in to see how unbelievably excellent the current situation is.
Hello, Mystic? Come in, Mystic...
Hello, Mystic? Come in, Mystic...
Maybe we were...
Number 1 priority according to who though? Not Klopp, not Jorg or anyone else at the club.....because they signed 2 essentially attacking midfielders. If DM was our number 1 priority why wouldn't we try for Caicedo in June?
& maybe if we hadn't wasted 2 weeks on Lavia and/or were competent enough at negotiating, we'd have had that DM in the door already.
Where did I ever say our situation was excellent? Learn to read you fucking half wit.
Just leaving this here...
We needed to buy those players too.
We were fine buying them, as they both had release clauses. Relatively simple.
The rest of the transfer window required us to be reactive and has been utterly shambolic. Im not motivated by embarrassment though. I want a destructive athlete in our midfield so the others can play, and so it's not so easy to run at us. I don't want to watch that for another year. Not because it's embarrassing, but because it's shit.

Is this happiest and most excellent of situations really the occasion for that sort of language?!
