Forced our hand into paying more for Joey than we wanted. Made Ki excess to requirements with Joey's arrival and so they get the man they want. |  | | |  |

Arguably we forced our own hand by not getting a deal sorted sooner.
Regardless, I still see £13m or thereabouts for Joe as a good deal in the current market and if we can get anything close to £10m for Ki then happy days. |  | | |

It all sounds good, but may I ask where has this information come from? Is there evidence out there that we are on the verge of signing Allen and that Stoke want Ki? | |

Huw said last night we are interested in Joe, and the post reported we turned down a 7 million offer from Stoke | |

Be nice to keep em both. Both offer different things and a great option in the middle of the park. |  | | |

Thank you, it makes sense, it could also be putting two and two together and making five.
Let's hope it's the first! | |

We'll be lucky to get £10 for Ki. Let's be honest, would anyone miss him even if we didn't sign Joe Allen? |  |

In fairness how could we have got the deal done earlier, he's under contract, the window didn't open till July first, he was at the Euros, and we were in limbo | |

I'm sure there were a few deals that were agreed and then finalised when the window opened.
I think it's often the the case that deals are worked on irrelevent of what time of the year it is or if the window is closed or open. | | | |

Do you think we were waiting for the go ahead from the Americans? | |

I think the yanks wanted all major spending on ice until the deal was finalised, so yes.
Why that needed to be the case or if it was I've no idea.
If we made an offer in January and an apparent offer before the euros it meant we had nothing to gain by waiting for a potential rise in fee after the tournement.
Seems from the outside looking in that our hands have been tied until the yanks are in full control.
Just my take. | | | |

Mark Hughes knows he can get Ki and knows he can't get Joe, we are at a point where money to effect the deal is a balancing act between the clubs over a million or 2, nowadays peanuts in their turnover,however,a million saved here means it can be spent more beneficially elsewhere.As Joe is back from hols next week,hopefully,the deal will be concluded by this time next week and we can move on to signing the quality strike we urgently need. | | | |
