And that's the crux of the problem, Quartz!! We didn't/don't make the offers necessary to obtain the players we supposedly want/need.QuartzGooner wrote:I have my doubts that we ever really bid for Alonso anyway.
Surely it would be an easy transfer if it would have happened?
Just offer Liverpool a reasonable amount and they take it, then they have most of the Barry fee they needed?
I am not convinced talks about Alonso got far at all.



Anyway, didn't Benetiz confirm that Arsenal had made a bid for Alonso? Now I know you, like all of us, want to find reasons for Wenger not signing anyone, and it's a good try, but you're not getting a sale of that theory here!!
