Didn't we buy that young Real Madrid superstar with a fully mashed leg a couple of years ago?
Glad we've not made the same mistake twice.

Silly old bat
And yet we did it for Kazenga.

Not seen such Bravery!
But we weren't limited to a 25 man squad then. An addition to the squad was fine in that situation, now it comes at the expense of another player in the 25.
Or just received a £100m pay day.
It's almost as if things have changed in the last 6 or so years.

Can't this awful situation be blamed somehow on #BarberOut ?

Dodged a bullet, definitely glad our medical team weren't under pressure to pass him and that we're not going to buy anyone for the sake of it.

Hardly his fault. Print deadlines have to be met. The days of a local paper holding the back page are long gone.

For those suggesting we take the gamble of signing him, would you pay £25K of your hard earned money for a nice looking secondhand car if a mechanic said the engine was dodgy?
If that is your approach you're likely to have a few financials issues in your future years.

Sad for him, sad for us, we'll both survive. Move on

Eh??
I simply don't understand a post such as this - the Argus article was factually correct, reporting that Albion were on the brink of signing Neto having agreed terms with the club and that he was in Lancing for a medical.
Simple fact is, he subsequently failed the medical.
How does that make the people at the Argus "divs"? And "Taxi for Andy?"
People moan like heck on here that the Argus never publishes any transfer rumours or speculation, and then people moan when they publish a timely, factually accurate story on an imminent transfer that gets overtaken by events.
It is almost as if people don't even want the only local, dedicated news journalist position that covers the club; I for one hope we never get to find out what that would feel like.

He has a habit of getting these imminent signings woefully wrong!

This will be like when Pinamonte didn't end up joining which meant Zamora came instead.

Not a lot you can do when an imminent signing does a Devon Loch.

He correctly called this one and after the Argus went to print he twittered that there were problems.

Naylor never said we were on the verge of signing him though....

On his last warning
Neto was supposed to be Zamora, Mooy was Pinamonte
Well then! let's not forget who came in straight after Zamora and scored 27 goals in his 1st season?
Trust me, Neto's injury is just another case of divine intervention in favour of the Albion.

What on earth has the Argus got "wrong" about what they've printed (or Naylor has tweeted) about the potential Neto transfer?
