JJ:

I think sky sports are suffering from ‘Premature Announcelation’ ?

Tbf most of the respected journalist have said it's not completed yet and that Levy/Aulas are still ironing out the fine details. Maybe the whole '10 days' timeline was correct.

JJ’s tweet is no big deal. It’s looks like it’s still very much on the cards..

I’m just asking myself why did Sky announce it? Who told them it had been done? Aulas up to his old tricks maybe? This info was must have surely been leaked by an official source.

Surely even Levy doesn’t need 10 days to finalise this deal though?

Sky sources were probably just Sky Italy (Romano/Di Marzio)

It could still take our media team 10 days to put a suitable transfer announcement video together, to be fair. Best send them on a refresher course now. It's been awhile.

After witnessing us trying, and ultimately failing, to sign Jack Grealish throughout last summer, I'd say anything is possible at this point.

On the 16 June I said I thought this would be done and have done since despite loads of people being nervous nellies.

So wind your neck in, untwist your knickers and understand a joke when you see one.

you tell a lot of unfunny jokes then, because as I stated in another of your post recently you always have a negative slant on anything positive. I wished I had the time to spend enough time searching the odd positive

It was a reply to N'Done, so it's not a total pooh-pooh. Was hoping it was imminent though.

My guess is there's still haggling going on about the fee structure.

People are probably getting frustrated and thinking 'just get it done', but negotiating a fee structure that suits us could well be the difference between getting another high price player (e.g.LoCelso) and failing to do so. In Baldy we trust.

OK now I'm worried! ;)

Has he had the medical yet? if not why not?

the reason it hasn't been done, in he has signed, is because at the moment the lad is on holiday. All sky have done is announce the fee has been agreed. the only thing that stops it now is if he decides to not sign or fails his medical

They were still announcing signings on Teletext last time we signed someone.

Looks like the fee is agreed and they are still trying to agree the payment structure going by some french outlets and then jjs tweet would maybe also indicate that so not 100 percent done but pretty close
