What does bother me is we play so much grab arse at the negotiation table... for three weeks... and then CFC comes in for him in a day (after Mata) deal and gets him...

This has been an on-going problem. I'd rather not hear anything until a transfer is official than to hear this three week dance routine allowing other suitors to step in and beat us to the punch. William, the unspellable guy now at Dortmund, etc. It just keeps on going.

I understand the information flow isn't entirely in our control, in fact, in this case its to Basels interest to put it out there and hope another teams pays as high as possible, but other "higher" profile moves happen in a lot less time and with less drawn out rumoring. There is definitely something wrong or different with our lame transfer attempts.
