George deal off.

Yep, it's fair enough to criticise doing everything last minute if that is a player the club really wanted.

Big IF

[Trusty Steed]

Hence why we've kept Wilson I'd imagine

[Woolly Mammoth]

wonder if wilson staying was in caution of if Tyrique deal didnt go through

It hasn't gone through, it has been called off.

I'd personally be delighted if George deal falls through! An inflated price, very unproven player, would rather keep Wilson/Adama.

But if the club didn't really want him then why spend £22 million on him. Either way its weird.

What the hell has happened there?

Another deal off.

Yeh same reporter as above says it's because we called wilson deal off

That's the thing. As I mentioned not sure we could have done much about Chuckwuaze or Kevin as their clubs were never letting them go until the end of last week.

George however could have been done ages ago surely.

Having said that...it looks like this was all linked to the Wilson move. Just wonder if it was only when Leeds came in with an offer to good to turn down that we then went looking for a third winger hence being late on this one? Just a thought as did seem to be facilitating Wilson's move.

Yeh failing to bring in striker falls to a 5.5-6/10 for me
Real shame that was excited by the proposition of that kid

[FFC007]

If two have collapsed then this is a disaster...

[Deeping_white]

Apparently we've pulled out of the George deal because Wilson is staying - not sure about that myself because Wilson is turning 29 and leaving for nothing as it stands

[The Cravenette]

Not so great now.

[jayffc]

If two have collapsed then this is a disaster...

1 collapsed
1 pulled out due to sticking with Wilson reportedly

Yeah does all look like one or the other. Think this must have been linked to Wilson. I like Harry but a bit gutted. To get a good fee rather than lose him on a free and then get a very talented 19 year old prospect. I would have taken that.

[Deeping_white]

You've spent all day talking in superlatives without stopping to actually read anything

[hopper]

Absolute shambles, and I hope people who defend the club whatever happens are willing to accept that people are fair to criticise the way we go about our business.

Earlier on in the window I received a lot of stick from people after I criticised us for doing this as there's no recourse to correct it because it's happened before with Nuamah, Kluivert; and now it's all happening again.

We also haven't got a midfielder after putting in an offer for Hwang yesterday that got rejected, so we clearly wanted one.

We really need this Kevin one to pay off.

[fulhamfever]

Willian to be signed again 😆😆
