Not worried that he won't sign, but the media team are taking the piss now...
It's getting silly, everyone in the press knows it's done, hell, PEA has even been signed and announced in the interim. I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve. Maybe they will wait till after the game just incase we loose.

No news is good news we have a massive match at Wembley against Man Utd it’s a game we can’t afford to lose so I’m guessing this is being kept back to co inside with the game

I'm guessing they'll announce it before game or at half time with him being introduced to crowd at Wembley. It'll be shown on BT and globally thus getting most coverage can.
If that doesn't happen they've either held it back in case we lose or something's gone wrong and I'm gonna smash my head through a window.

Actually, my thinking has been that they won’t want the announcement overshadowed by all the pre-game social media stuff. Iirc, something similar happened with a recent signing, such that it was done, but they delayed announcement for this same reason. Said it would be “disrespectful” to the player to have it potentially overshadowed by all the gameday stuff.

Who the fuck cares about the gameday stuff on deadline day?

Not sure why everyone is so surprised, this is the same with Levy all the time.
Leave the announcement until last thing so he keeps the reputation of being last minute Levy.....according to the ITK it was done this morning, so why drag it out? for 1 reason, keep the fans/press happy that Spurs have done a last minute deal.

I'm happy though as didn't think we would do anything but I think Moura is done so that is good, especially if we don't lose anyone now we have strengthened and its been a long time since we said that in January

I think it'll be announced very soon. The Brazilian media seem to be moving with the story very quickly
