Maybe, but more likely asrsenal were stalling on a new deal, we contacted his agent who gave us a figure and told Arsenal they either met the demands or they'd push for the move, obviously Arsenal agreed a new deal but that doesn't mean we were played, it means the agent did his job.

Then we did the exact same with JWP. Or JWP did the exact same with us!

It was funny last night, as the first corner he took before scoring direct was one of his more usual fail to clear the first defender crap ones. Then he goes and thunder bastards it straight in.

To be honest, I was expecting them to rule it out because it was against Arsenal.

I thought we sold Targett for what we paid for him, my mistake.
