I do have to laugh at some of you on here thinking its like a supermarket dash in the last few days of a transfer window, just I's and T's to be done at this stage, we have been working on deals for a number of weeks. If transfers were so straight forward, especially in this cash rich mad window, then ask yourselves why Chelsea, Pool , Arsenal etc are having trouble getting deals over the line.
I also laugh GF, then I cry, scream, shout, shudder and sigh... None of it helps. People will rant about it.... Even your wise words will be conveniently ignored three to four posts from now.

I don't think we've seen one piece of negative ITK yet about the next two days.

Personally this suggests to me that we'll end up selling every single player, the new stadium will collapse into a sink-hole and somehow Karen Brady will end up as our chairthing.

Following from GF, who beat me too it. Because names are popping up that may not set your pallet, or new names, or resurrected ones, it is not panic. Whatever deals conclude weren't. It desperate ones ;)
Ben is that you? :eek: Jokes aside, thanks for the news Hercules. Been really nice having you around so frequently and having you sharing with us all. Much appreciated bud! The news from ITKs seems united and positive so that's good enough for me:D

So GF's comments sound like our deals are very much in place, just fine tuning details if we're at the crossing the t's and dotting the i's stage, we're way past still trying to sound out potential targets, and randomly making offers out of desperation. At least that's how I read it. Hopefully that's the case for both Barkley and a WF/CF.

Talk in the Serge Aurier thread and also in the media, that we should know by midday, now whether that's a decision from HO, or an actual announcement, it's unclear, although the latter would tie in with Hercules comments last night.
Going over to what hertyid is saying, Aurier meets the criteria for a WP based on his international standing, plus also twice in Ligue 1 team of the year, so no issue there, and assuming we know his legal appeal was a success, which is what we have heard, then he has no criminal conviction anymore. So I'm not seeing a reason it'd be rejected.
It is midday

I don't mean to slight you, because your posts over the last few weeks have been excellent, but i have wondered whether English is your first language? I'm just worried for your safety if Levy can identify ITK leakers. I don't want you to succumb to his Ninja's haha.

  • hertyid again
    When was the last time a PL club had a major transfer rejected by the Home Office on the grounds of work permit denial?
Well we've been the first at a number of things. Maybe we'll be the first to have this happen too.

Trouble is that it's crossing 'I's' and dotting 'T's' which is the problem. Don't expect an answer, it's just we have been here before and I'm a confirmed BSoDL! (maybe confirmed isn't the right word).
