Silverdaz Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 But when has agreeing a fee meant that a player and clubs are obliged to complete a transfer. Clubs regularly agree fees, sometimes with more than one club, that is only the start of the process after which many things can change, including the player or the club not wanting to go through with it. Craig Mackail Smith for one when we were interested in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty123 Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 This is exactly why the management team at Leicester do not speak publicly about players/targets Wigan released information before the deal is finalised Leicester have the right to withdraw from the negotiations at any stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJS84 Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 Craig Mackail Smith for one when we were interested in him now if we ever want to have a chat about bullets dodged! this guy IMHO is one for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 For a start he's not choosing them over us. We haven't come back to Wigan/him since our offer was made and we signed Cambiasso. How do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamba's Babes Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 Tough cookies. McArthur is not a standout player that we can't live without, we all got excited because it looked like we might finally sign something with a heartbeat. Cambiasso's impending impact cannot be underestimated. He will be a class above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 Looks like Whelan played it quite smart. Announced his availability in an inoffensive way, may have know what was going on with McArthur/Cambiasso situation and made a move to do something about it. Would Palace have come in if the dealings with us weren't announced? I might be giving him too much credit and he may well have just chosen Palace over us.

Dave Whelan brought Transfer Deadline Day forward a few days with this one. Made out it was more or less a done deal with us, so Palace wanted to get in quick to try and hijack the deal. Clever more Mr Whelan you Wily Old Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Fox Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28983784 Wigan Athletic manager Uwe Rosler believes Leicester City "used" the club's midfielder James McArthur.A fee was agreed for McArthur, 26, to join the Foxes, only for the newly promoted side to sign free-agent Esteban Cambiasso late on Thursday."We didn't accept the pay structure and then Leicester left James in limbo," says Rosler. "I feel sorry for James. He got used in a way and we and he have to live with that. It's unusual. I've never experienced that where a club agree a fee and then make no contact over pay structure."Now we have to make sure we get James right again. I feel for the lad because he had already said goodbye to everybody at the club." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Fox Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 As things stand, we are not coming out of this looking that great IMO. Things could change though I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 29 August 2014 Share Posted 29 August 2014 As things stand, we are not coming out of this looking that great IMO. Things could change though I suppose. Why? They clearly state they didn't accept our pay terms. = Bid not accepted = we can do what the hell we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
