Fuck being in the trenches with some of you lot
How do you know he hasn't agreed to come to us. It could be just as likely that Genoa haven't signed to agree our offer as they're waiting for a competitive/bigger bid from Bayern first.The terms had been agreed with the player and Genoa last night/this morning.
Why didn't he sign?
Can only mean he was waiting for Bayern.
it was 1 week ago. We agreed a fee, they were always going to stall and bayern or another club would have come in. These deals do not happen in a vacuumI've no idea why, but no we haven't. We've been extremely complacent and foolish.
Levy is a good negotiator when he holds the leverage, and a liability when doesn't.
The problem is his ego seems to make him unable to tell the difference.
Genoa named a very reasonable price weeks ago.
We tried to be too clever and took to long trying to squeeze the pips for a signing we've been desperate for at least 5 months.
Arguably for the last 4 permanent managers (and 2 interims).
Dragusin also doesn't owe us anything either.
IF he takes it it's our fault for allowing a bigger club the time and opportunity to try to sway him with better career option and/or terms.
If this was always going to happen anyway, we'd have been better off to find out last December.
But as I've said, we shouldn't be in this position anyway, as it was an essential requirement last summer.
It's de ja vu from yesterday
BINGO!Honestly, all I can do is laugh at this point. You know what, it is what it is, if he doesn’t want to come to us, then so be it, we had an offer accepted, but something has been holding this up. This just screams agent using us to figure out a fee and terms then present to Bayern to get them to match
The speed doesn't matter. If we had a bid accepted a week ago then his loudmouth agent would've just contacted Bayern and a myriad of other clubs then and they would've made their move knowing exactly what the acceptable offer was.I've no idea why, but no we haven't. We've been extremely complacent and foolish.

De ligt has been rumored to be leaving in the summer, so he prob sees himself as someone that could compete with Kim and upamecanoBayern has the prestige and the trophies, money is probably similar.
Even when I take off my Spurs glasses, I would think that Bayern isn't the best move for a 21 year old defender. Bayern have 3 of the top 11 most valuable centre backs in the world (according to Transfermarkt which isn't perfect but at least it's objective).

What makes you think a club is willing to negotiate in December when the windows isn't open? It rarely happens
They can have Ndombele insteadThey can't have Djed Spence then
