btw i dont believe any of this sudden change of heart from PSG and Matuidi. they would have sold if we matched their asking price, which was probably too high/not worth it for us
Going by Beppes optimism yesterday, it seemed like he thought there was a real chance of getting him. If Matuidi never had an interest in joining us but only wanted a better contract, i would say the fat bastard screwed us bad on this one. Hes client got a new contract though so good for him.
In one way yes, I never wanted him but in the end and getting so close to the transfer window deadline with our real need of a midfielder with some quality, it was an opportunity. Let's hope we don't come short by the end of the window.
