We should have waited til their last game was over, and then sent the bid immediately. All we've done now is pissed O'Neil off and made him determined not to give in to us.

Spot on. There are some seriously naive and deluded opinions on this thread. "MON has treated Liverpool disgracefully", Jesus Christ! Do people expect him to roll over and give us his captain for whatever we chose to offer? He's looking out for his own. And lets face it, we are not exactly 100% honest and straight up in how we conduct some of our dealings are we? Its hit the papers to force Villas hand, and generate pressure from Barry to accept our low valuation. Exactly as we done for Benayoun last year. If i was MON id be fuckin pissed with us aswell
