In these two situations then yes I believe it is
Can we not look at each transfer in isolation ?
You can do whatever you want, for me our mangled transfer committee is at fault here. Looks great when there's a release clause that we can trigger, but when it comes time to actually do a deal, we look like a monkey humping a football.
By all reports this Lavia kid wanted to come to us, we dicked around for weeks not bidding enough and then we go and bid almost 3 times as much for another player...we lose out on that player because we were likely fed poor information about his desire to play for us and then in turn piss off our first target in the process.
I suppose one day maybe we'll know if any of that is close to what is accurate or if I just have a wild imagination but what I know is a fact is that we need likely 2 players minimum and we now have 2 weeks to get deals done when we haven't been able to do anything for the last 3 or 4.
