Deals normally work in the same format, do they not ?

Agree terms with player and agents.
Agree fee with club.
Medical.
Sign.

If this is the case, surely they're waiting on work permit clearance or some other technicality before confirming ? I can't imagine we'd still be sorting terms out at this late stage.
I think the sale price is agreed before talking terms with the player. At least I always thought that is what happens.

Commentator on the Arsenal game said we have added another today so sky confident it's done.

Anyone clear up where we are with this then ? I've read two possibilities.....

1. He's having the second part of his medical tomorrow before confirmation.
2. We're awaiting a visa before confirmation.

What do we reckon ?

Mate, just ignore everything that has been 'reported' by SSN, then you'll know better where we are with this deal (y)

Will he need a work permit?

If so, will we not struggle given he is not that young and doesn't have too many full international caps?

So the footage of Willian shot by SSN should be ignored? They quoted him saying it'll be finished in the morning/some time tomorrow. Think we can give them that one.

It's ridiculous to just assume they've got everything wrong. They use the words 'sources' and 'understands' too often, but that doesn't mean they have no sources at all.

I'm with you on this. When they have exclusive footage of Willian, it's safe to say they got that one right.

That's true but, as a rule of thumb to be broken, it's not such a bad one. They add more bullshit than fresh info that no one else has so...

Yes and an hour later they're saying he's completed and passed his medical. So which is it? Is he completing his medical tomorrow? Or has he passed his medical & talks are ongoing? Impossible for it to be both, yet that's exactly what SSN have reported. "Think we can give them that one"?? I wouldn't give them the scrapings off my shit!!

It's not exclusive coverage that shows anything to do with Willian and THFC though. It's coverage of Willian in a hotel in London, so what? It's not even 2 weeks ago that there were pics all over the Internet of Bernard in an airport and a hotel London, and he was also linked with us. What's the difference here? If it was exclusive coverage of Willian at our training facility, or at WHL, I'd understand the craziness. However, it's just footage of a famous person in a London hotel, which is hardly a rare occurrence (y)
