So when I said that we had a bid of £10m accepted I was indeed correct but I got shot down because the deal never went through I got slaughtered on here for a good week.

It goes to show yet again in football even club thought that Wanyama and Ince were pretty much done deals.

So can someone state what I said at the time was wrong ?


carl
we bid 10 million after celtic had accepted 12 million from southampton.Our bid was never officially accepted by celtic.
malky was the person who did not want to pay the extra 2 million


Thought you were finished with this forum?

feel free to delete my account by all means. your reaction is typical of the mods on this forum all gather round to protect each others asses.
Carl asked a question and i posted the response to that question. the bid for wanyama was never accepted by celtic because it was 2 million short of the 12 million they had already accepted.
i just posted to put the record straight.
i stopped posting purely because of the cowardly & libellous crap posted about paul guy on here

For me, its pretty straight forward.

If Stoke offered you £3 million for Mutch and you accepted, would you then accept a £1 million bid from Fulham days later?

nothing to do with ratio £2 million is £2 million. If the demand is clearly there why throw it away?

Look who's back :laughing6:

As confirmed in this thread, and as I pointed out weeks ago, after Celtic agreed a deal with Southampton but Wanyama couldn't agree terms with the Saints, then indeed Celtic were willing to meet our lower price)which included a series of instalments over the next year). This was agreed in principle but a few days later Celtic reneged on the deal and Wanyama had to decide upon Southampton or no one. I hope we never have to do business with the rats ever again

I'm sure the expert in hindsight will reply to this

It has nothing to do with ratio. There would be no more chance of me accepting £12million for my £14 million house than £2million for my £4 million house.

either way im throwing away £2 million when the market is rich with prospective buyers and early in the auction.

Nonsense. Far more chance of willing to do business at 83% rather than 33%.

No there isn't, there is 0% chance of either when its clear business can be done at 100%.

For what was said to be a £1 million payment to the agent.

Now then wouldn't it be better for Celtic to pay the £1 million on behalf of Southampton to push the deal through and get a £11 million net transfer fee, rather than accept what is essentially £2 million less than the full amount?

Arsenal and Liverpool were also sniffing around, there is no way on earth they would accept such a low bid days after a bid of £12 million was lodged. that much is obvious.

Thats all conjecture and hear say. The only FACT is Wanyama initially turned down Southampton so unless they come back in with another bid (which eventually they did) then Celtic had to mull over our 10 million offer.

At 83% of the initial 12 million accepted there was more chance of a negotiation than if we offered 4 million which is what your silly Jordan Mutch ratio works out as.
