I think you are right about their previous and trust. But, that doesn't mean the fans are right! I think if you do target a higher standard of players they tend to be ones that the club doesn't want to sell - which means negotiations can be protracted.
Someone fucked up with VVD - which has just wound everyone up. But I still think he will end up with us.
I'm not sure we'll get Keita. I think RB believe that if they sell him now - they'll always be seen as a selling club.
