Was a league game just before he signed for us that did. 89th minute.
Was it? Dickheads.
He was played against Newcastle on the 25th August and stayed on the bench for their match on 31st August before signing late on the 1st Sept. For the match he played in, he came on with another player to go for the win, which they ended up doing. But even when he signed for us, I don't think anyone anywhere thought for a second we would actively avoid triggering his clause and we all expected him to be signed for us.
