    I’d agree, however, if this is correct, then what Koroma and/or his agent did/demanded after the deal was agreed is wrong. Glad the club snubbed him in the end

    Probably. But there are ways of doing things. Agreeing terms knowing that you're going to try and ransom the Club later is absolutely disgusting behaviour.

    Everyone wants the best deal for themselves irrespective of the occupation. How you go about acquiring that deal is a matter of professionalism and morals imo.

    Fair enough. Seems as though he was banking on the club not wanting to have wasted time and resources getting everything together, and backing down for a better deal. I'd have liked him here, but not if he's tried to hold the club to ransom. Next target, please.

    I don’t disagree. But morality long left football.

    It’s all about paying the most and getting the signature. I suspect he’d agreed the deal, we’d let him go without signing and someone else has dangled the carrot of more money. I doubt there are many players who’d do any different in this day and age sadly.

    I’m not sure we did snub him. It sounds like we kept trying rather than tell him to do one.

    If what has been said is true, I'm very happy he isn't joining. Next.

    Yeah in fairness Frog, I know its easy to have a go at the club, and I admit I do it regularly myself.
    But it sounds like they did everything right here and everything they could, to make this deal work.
    So if its all down to Koroma and his agent being unprofessional and greedy, then I say f*k him!. :eek:

    Should have used a safety pin.
