Ok, first of all 1st choice seems to have been Vermaelen and because they couldn't wrap that up earlier, he ended up at Barcelona (if we bid the 15m in July they'll sell him even to United) plan B is now Rojo, where they've bid not enough and seemingly tried to pressure them with the 3rd party owner.
Just seems all a bit amateurish. Ideally the pursue Rojo/other CB in the same time as Vermaelen is option A and don't lose that much time. Again the club lets players/clubs drag things out, when they should just make a certain deadline for option A and if option A just isn't happening, swiftly having option B lined up.
