i think it is pretty obvious.. well at least to me at least
Ayre thought he would have Salah for this window. had it all played out in his head... he would jerk them around for over 2 months... lowball... sign Salah in jan and the fans (us) will organize a parade in his honour for being such a shrewd negotiator.... we would pass this heroic story down to our kids who will then pass it down to their children and Ayre would be a hero of Anfield... one of the greats if not the GREAT.
but life is full of surprises. chelsea looked at salah and thought.. for 11mil only... thats probably what Abrom personally spends each day, they might as well buy salah because at that price there is ZERO chance they would lose money on him and liverpool .. a team that is right behind chelsea in the standings do not fortify this window. (think about the reason for them selling mata now to man utd vs selling to them in the summer or even at all... manutd still plays every other top 6 contender except chelsea)
So our dear ayre now shafted by salah goes OMG who else can i go get... Zono is the other option... but alas, all his eggs were in the Salah basket so although he flew in and spent 3 days with them, there was just not enough time.
however, since we cant rewind time... we have to make do with what we got and pray our lads are fit and up for it. I hope Ayre learns from this and gets BR his targets fast and furious
