Looks like Marseille are in financial doo doo and may have to sell, but with Liverpool and Arse reportedly interested, we may miss out again. I would NOT want to, again, spend most of the window pursuing a deal that won't happen, and miss out on more realistic options.

I hope we ignore him out of principle now. We need to have moved on to new targets who will Want to play for us.

I'm not particularly bothered whether we go for Paxio or not, but we did spend a little time chasing Stach, who was an on-off transfer, and eventually he came. Sometimes the chasing is worth it and pays off.

But I also feel, (same with Stach) , if they were difficult to obtain in the first place, they don't see us as the end goal, and use us as a stepping stone, and that isn't "side before self" motto.

Tbh, if we need a rotation/backup for Gabby, a new winger (or two if some depart like I hope) , mid upgrade, and a striker. You get one or two of your main targets in, maybe the lb and mid, and you then have a bit of flexibility to go for a 'masterstroke' signing. Getting Pablo in the CH, Raphinha, or even, technically, Stach could fall into these categories.

Sure, we've missed a few, or decided against others because of attitudes (Amiri, Muniz, etc) . But sometimes, going for the marquee once some reasonable business is done, isn't an awful shout.
