My sanity is fine thanks. I DO think this will be done in the end. But we have zilch at this point to say that it's complete....and the events of this week show us that 'done' is not necessarily done until the ink is actually dry on the contract.
I'd actually have agreed with you that they might have got away with not signing anyone normally. There'd be grumbling but we'd muddle through. But this deal is different. This is one of the best players in the world (according to the press). To not replace him would make the club look unforgiveably poorly run.
And that's before you consider the manager who turned down the untold wealth of PSG to stay. Selling his best player and not replacing them probably wasn't a situation he'd have been happy to acquiesce to.
And we are still looking for stadium sponsorship.
Youre right, this is different.
