It’d be interesting to see if Ugochukwu was ever a target as that didn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere before Chelsea signed him. Maybe he was. As for Adams, who knows? Again, if we were that keen on him, I’m surprised we didn’t make some effort to get him in early with Caicedo’s departure...
Not being awkward. Who were those two midfield targets? I can’t see anyone on their incoming transfers that fits that description but maybe I’m missing something.
Erm, because "on the basis that we like to get our business done BEFORE there's a hole in the team" why would we not have made a move for him earlier in the window, knowing full well there were going to be very big bids in store for Caicedo?
On the basis that we prefer to get our business done before there's a hole in the team, the reports of sudden interest in Adams don't really seem to stack up.
