He said he wanted to leave, we tried, they didn't want to sell, it happens.
What else could the club have looked up prior to negotiating with them?
I am one of those who said that they are asking for too much and we should wait until summer, but i have to admit that our club could have handled the situation a bit better.
Like not contacting the player and agreeing the term with the player when we havent agreed the fee with the club. We made the impression on everybody that its just matter of time, including the player himself. He was giving interviews and taking pics with Liverpool fans in US.
If we had waited until agreeing the fee with the club before contacting Alex, then maybe their owner wouldnt have been so pissed because he seemed pissed from the interview he gave to SSN.
Alex could also feel betrayed by us, so if we are going to bid for him in the summer and their is another club involved. This saga could bite us in the ass.
Wasnt the liverpool way, being quiet until the deal is done? now everybody is disappointed. the fans, Alex and their owner is pissed and its not like Alex is the last player shaktar will ever have, who we are interested in
