If we have any sense we'll delay this deal a bit, not only til the Sanchez deal is wrapped up but also after the Coutinho deal. If Liverpool do sell him to Barca for the best part of £100m, then Southampton could be about to receive a punchy offer for Van Dijk, which would obviously leave them needing a CB and plenty of cash to buy one with.....

We've loaned them Pritchard and sold them Chadli since then, so I guess it's all water under the bridge.

I didn't think he quite looked good enough in the games I saw him play. I can remember the away game against West Ham in the 2015/16 season when we could've gone top with a win. He got the run around by Eminike that night in what was (I think) Eminike's first game on loan at West Ham? He is one of only 2 or 3 players in the squad that it shouldn't be too hard to find an upgrade for.

To be fair to WBA there, I don't think they took too kindly to us waiting until deadline day before making sensible bids for him. Had we made a sensible bid earlier in the window (as WBA have done here for Wimmer) then the outcome probably would've been different.

I dont know, got the impression the chairman had a hard on for acting the big 'un from the moment we showed interest.
Constant mouthing off (classy) and ultimately cut his own nose off to spite his face.

He got fed up with us trying to engineer a move behind the scenes without putting in an offer. Our behavior wasn't particularly good when it came to that prospective transfer and I think in the end it became a point of principle for their chairman.
In the end they probably should've done the deal at the final amount offered by us in the final hour or so of the window, as they ended up losing out a lot more than we did, but our actions in the lead up to that were poor. I don't want to say too much more here, happy to do so via PM.

Fair enough. All seemed fairly standard to me, and then he just went off on one!

Yea it was a standard transfer negotiation, we're entitled to bid what we want, when we want. Peace wanted to make a name for himself and became rent a quote, the media obviously lapped it up.

Good point, the only difference is that Evans is 5 years older and less time at the top ( i would suggest).

That"s the way i heard it transpired, acting big billy gonad*s to try and prove he was the better man.

Can't see a centre half turning down a move to a Pulis team. Pulis will make a man out of him.
