Matt O'Riley

The brass neck they * have. Lost patience haha. Tried everything to get him on the cheap and unsettle him. * up ye.

 

If he stays, I'll dance naked through the streets.

 

It’s all well and grand until a team bid €30m two days before the deadline and we’re left up shitcreek without a paddle.

 

I think everyone would appreciate it if you didn't !!

 

If MOR stays, they'll no be caring.

I know he'll probably still go but it gives me hope we've told a club to * off. I never thought we'd ignore an offer over £20m, what's happened to us.

 

This is my issue with us, or should I say one of them. We should be strengthening irrespective of what happens with O’Riley. We have millions upon millions in the bank plus the CL money and by the way, we’ve sold a few this window for a few bob also. I can’t believe we won’t spend until a deal for O’Riley is done. Are they hoarding the money incase we don’t get into the CL next season, rather than assembling a team that a year further down the line, would be in a much better position to qualify through the knockouts??

 

Said this to someone yesterday. I actually feel like Atalanta could still be the team to do that even if they get this other boy then come in woth 25 plus add ons the last day or too to * us over

 

Mate, I’m not having a cheap dig, but a bit of grammar, please. I genuinely can’t understand one bit of that, and I’ve read it three times.

 

You’ll do that anyway, let’s be honest

 

Completely agree.

They lost patience with us after they have been low balling us. Do they not think that we've lost patience with them after offering ridiculous bids?

I hope after their fifth bid of £21.7m we turned around and just said £50m is the new price.

I hope O'Riley isn't affected by all this, which is Atalanta's strategy. He's a pro and will get his love within the next 12 months (probably within the next 2 weeks).

I wouldn't sell to Atalanta now even if they come back with the correct cash. They've wasted our time. * them.

 

If he was pushing for the move then 22m would have been accepted, so we have that. Don't think it's a guarantee he stays though, some other clubs may come in if their plan a falls through.

 

We're paying near £10m for backup players these days and they think for £20m they can get our best player? get tae *!!!

 

Great news if he stays. Let wait and see what the next few weeks brings though first.

 

Anybody want to do a whip round for Atalantas next bid?

 

Question is now that Atlanta have pulled out then how is the player himself handling it? Will he throw the toys out the pram? Once in a lifetime opportunity for him for somewhere he supposedly wanted to go. In football those windows of opportunity are narrow with the threat of injury or form hampering moves. Personally the questions remains can he sustain that level this season and will he have the same value if he goes next year? Did the club haggle too much and should have sold him at his possible peak?

 

Its a 59 times in a lifetime oppurtunity for him. So he will stay professional and perform

Excellent post, hopefully he stays for another season and continues with his great form.
