Perhaps that's something that could have been investigated a few days/weeks/months ago.

Yep, leaving the most important bits of business until the last day of the season, and then bidding for players that clubs want to keep hold of is a pretty indefensible transfer strategy.

If we think you can get Babacar for 13 million euros/dollars/pounds then whoever is putting the bids in is drunk and should go home.

If these bids are true for both players, why oh why have we left it so late that they can keep upping the prices? It makes no sense to me.

Because they followed the advice of NSC 'experts' who told us in April, May and June that prices fall at the very end of the window, with clubs desparate to offload.

The other school of thought was that that's a bloody risky game and that fees/wage demands increase.

I don't know what's more amazing:-

1) Barber out saying that.
or
B) Fan(s) believing it.

Absolute madness.

HOW MANY FRICKIN TIMES - many player purchases are highly dependent on other player sales/purchases. It is slightly possible that we're stuck in these chains even though we'd rather have done our business by now. I seriously doubt that any side wants to leave its business this late - and yet somehow it happens. Perhaps everyone apart from Huddersfield are just crap at this stuff?
