Damn you were quick, I deleted that after 2 seconds
From their point of view they successfully blocked us. If there were no other serious candidates for his signature then you cannot say beyond doubt that he'd have been unpersuadable (he'd have received a huge pay raise for one thing). Indeed several journalists and itk have suggested such was the case.No they didn't. Kounde wanted a Champions League club.

He was not hanging on for a "champions league club" blindly. Chelsea would have made him more than aware they intended to bid. He rejected us because he was hanging on for them. I very much doubt his decision was specifically related to the CL anyway. More that Chelsea are a superior club at present.
Thanks for the advice but I don't need to do that because I remember you saying it. I said what I said regardless, and I stick by it.He had no intention of signing for us from the start. You only need to check back to page 1 of this thread for the post where I said it. The information came directly from the player's camp.
