I'd suggest that we are the only club that can turn a transfer into an episode of Dallas but I'm sure that isn't true?

Can you name a club that hasn't had any long-running/ill-working transfer sagas in recent years? United with Herrara (fake agents turning up on last day of transfer window taking a year to buy him?). Liverpool taking 6 months to buy VVD having been fined for tapping him up. Even City don't always get it there own way (pretty much flaunting themselves in front of Sanchez and seeing him go to their greatest rivals).
Not in this thread but the occasional search of twitter does bring out a frightening amount of ****wits on the subject. A typical answer to a tweet saying Dortmund won't sell until they have a replacement generally brings the answer: "Just offer them more money, then"
Well yes of course but then Twitter is not the hot bed of footballing debate and all round common sense that this place is.
You have to completely understand their stance in wanting a replacement. None of these deals are easy all the same, just look at Laporte to City where transfer clauses have been met yet 3-4 days later the deal is not officially done.
