If we'd have put a bid in a week ago, Bayern would've jumped in then.Sure if that's true I'll give credit for that. I'm not saying there aren't transfers that we've done well. Just that the ones we've failed on tend to have a similar pattern typically involving the tendencies of one Daniel Phillip Levy.
A week ago there weren't several parties involved. Imo that was the time to put in the serious offer and get it done. If we disagree on that then fair enough.
It's not like they've only just heard of the lad, it's likely they've been monitoring him and his situation for a while.
And then you have to factor in that his agent is doing what he's paid to do, drum up interest in his client.
It's not like we could've thrown a bid in on the 1st and got him signed before anyone else realised what was happening.
Football, agents and clubs don't work like that most of the time
