Almiron is crap. Let's get that lyon fella please

Not signing Andre and letting him go to Wolves is going to be a massive mistake

I can't express enough my annoyance with this. 22 million too.
Unless he's rubbish, we've completely dropped the ball with this

Three transfer windows we've been chasing the bloke and Wolves just sweep like that. Sometimes you've just got to laugh.

Maybe Silva preferred Berge.

I have no doubt that if Silva wanted Andre, we would have bought him.

In Silva I trust 🙏

Why does FFC always get blamed ?

As no one else in the PL was interested in him, it could be that he's not the bees-knees
It is also a good lesson to other clubs - don't take the p!&&
We negotiated to the maximum that the transfer team - including MS - valued the player
When they refused and put up their price - we moved on

The fact that Wolves got him for less than we'd offered, is a good lesson to them
The fact that Wolves were to only takers, despite him having being touted round for three transfer windows, may indicate that no one was really convinced by him

Maybe we avoided being sold a pup?
It could be better, but it's not a fantasy:

If silva didn't want Andre why have we spent so much time 'courting' him. Why did Ali Mac go over to Brazil to try and sort out a potential transfer.

I'm pretty sure we wanted him

So confirmation had we opted to wait till the end of the window hed have been cheaper than what we allegedly offered earlier (25m) and 10-13m euros cheaper than what fluminese allegedly led with in their counter offer (35m)

We opted in this case to go after a different target silva wanted and that weve equally been linked to before as we have andre. And at the point we chose to sign berge it was clear fluminese were getting more desperate and were still offerless, so had we wanted to make a final move we could have then but, we chose the player we did.

Time will tell which option might have been preferable. I liked the look of André but having watched a bit of the league it was several levels below the prem. time will tell if he makes it at this level, perhaps hell be one we missed on, or perhaps hell be one we dodged a bullet on. Either way good luck to him. Whats important for us is how berge and the team get on from here.

Yes - maybe - but it is clear - not at any price.
BTW - I didn't say that MS didn't want him - it seems to be case that he didn't want him enough

Wolves are talking to Andre but nothing is agreed. People jumping the gun.

Not sure on this whole love affair with Andre, if he was that good one of the player harvesting teams like Chelsea would have taken him.
There is no concrete evidence we were ever interested, Ali Mac ever went to Brazil or if we ever made contact with his parent club .

Sure, but sounds very likely at this point
