Forget? Says the poster with a memory of a Goldfish. You are conveniently leaving out the fact that you told me we should've got more for that deal and that's what I am on record as saying.
I ummed and ahhed a lot, but in the end I came to the conclusion we should let him go. Initially I thought we could have got more, but I now see that in getting Wardlaw, especially paired with Sheezel, it was a masterstroke.
Smart people change their minds as new information comes to hand, they don't just nail their dicks to one idea and then have to defend it forever.
We did not maximise the return we got for JHF. And I would've been prepared to keep JHF under contract if Port didn't come to the party.
So you would have forgone Wardlaw, but you bag Rawlings, mate, come on.
You see we traded JHF a little too early in the trade period. Should've held off until the last minute and watch Port buckle.
But we wouldn't have been able to keep the other clubs in the party and wouldn't have got Wardlaw as a result, poor strategy.
They had already offered him big dollars. They were very keen. But negotiations aren't your strong suit.
They're not yours either.
Just like old mate Rawling. :stern look
He smashed the JHF deal, and that's a fact jack.
