They waited for us to haggle the price down for them.
They know the way we work and already have 3 top CBs so were in a position to wait.

I did have the impression that ideally they wanted him to sign a new deal and that any sale was on the basis that he wouldn't.
Thank fuck they did screw us with Tuchel as well.
Tbh I’m a bit skeptical of Dragusin. Even more so now they have done this
As a career path we are the better choice imo, I’m not even sure why Bayern want him
Perhaps bayern hold a grudge over us beating them in Audi Cup. Obsessed with power that club. Nice ground though.
We were close over a week ago, and yet every day something else keeps cropping up.
This should have been put to bed back end of last week, such an important position that needs filling urgently.
Are we though?
They just took our best player off us.
If he chooses us then we will be because he knew what he wanted specifically but generally Bayern will pay him more and likely win him more
Yeah bayern will get him. Hope we fuck them over when it comes to friendlies. Like no transport when they get to airport or rearrange friendly when they land, then rearrange when when they land again. Cunts.
Levy might pull the trigger on Ryan Nelson now, premier league experience and has his own boots so money saved there.My chairman
Surely you can see that it wasn't in Genoa's interest for this deal to get wrapped up quickly?
(We allegedly offered them €25m a week ago....... Now as of today they're happy with that and Spence on loan......?)
On the basis that we were already onto option #2 (since Nice decided not to sell Tobido when approached); obviously we have been working on CBs since before the window opened (and probably longer).
But no..... I'm not disputing the basic fact that it's a case of the quicker the better.
Welcome Tosin
The owe tax man 106m from the previous ownership. I posted about it earlier
“But by the end of January 2024, 777 Partners will have had an answer to another key question with regards to one of its football assets: Genoa.
Having purchased Genoa back in September 2021 for a sum of around €150m, according to Reuters, Italy’s oldest club were relegated at the end of the 2021/22 season before bouncing back with promotion in the 2022/23 campaign.
When 777 Partners acquired 99.9% of Genoa's capital, a statement that accompanied the purchase of the club, without highlighting specific financial details, stated that the new owners would “assume certain related liabilities.”
A chunk of those liabilities come in the form of a tax bill due to the Italian tax authorities. According to investigative journalism website Josimar, €106m was due to the taxman.
At the end of October a deal was struck between Genoa and the Italian tax authorities that would reduce the indebtedness of the club to the taxman, reportedly reducing the tax burden by some 65%. The deal would see repayments spread over the next decade.
But that agreement has to be ratified by the Court of Genoa, with a decision to arrive before the end of January. If the Court reject the agreement that was reached it would create significant problems for the prospective Everton owners and the club, which would, according to Josimar, face the threat of bankruptcy.
Sources close to 777 Partners claim that the Genoa owners don’t anticipate any issues with the decision, with the renegotiation done do achieve more favourable terms for the ownership having acquired the tax liabilities from the previous owners of the club.”
