Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3558217, member: 9651"] I really don't know, maybe we're best to just disagree here. They did you guys dirty by turning his head a few days before the window closed. Fair enough the first offer wasn't enough (you said yourself you guys were looking for a profit so City would have known this too)... but they would have definitely told his agent to agitate for the move. We saw the same thing with Kane last summer (transfer request) and we've seen it before with VVD (when Saints reported LFC), Caicedo even more recently. It's par for the course these days, I think the agent is as much responsible as the player. It's just the way things go. I genuinely think if he puts his head down and doesn't do anything and trains as usual, you guys turn them away and City buy someone else. He forced your hand by doing what he did, ultimately it meant very little in terms of the fee you got. It was clearly a late deal and the response in terms of your own reaction signings suggest you hadn't planned for it. As I said in an earlier post, I absolutely understand why he did it too, he wasn't going to take the risk that City would come back later for him. Once in a lifetime move for his career. Quite a strong opinion on something that is completely subjective and we can't ever know for sure, but fair enough. [/QUOTE]
