I'm actually amazed any money changes hands at all immediately. Surely it's just contracts which are signed and then payment come a little later?
Banks on the selling side need confirmation that so the cash is there before deals can go through. It's a bit like buying a house/getting a mortgage without proof you have at least the deposit so to speak.

I think SB is already done, and the announcement delayed so that West Brom can finish their negotiations with QPR without them knowing they've £20m burning a hole in their pocket.

Agreed. I also think its interesting that West Brom are shifting Lescott to Villa. Could see a move for Fazio come back to life as part of the SB deal.

Thought fazio didn't want to go? Asked for something like £90k a week?

Is anyone else concerned that we haven't (seemingly) done anything to inject some creativity or passing vision into our midfield? A midfield selected from Mason, Bentaleb, Dier and Dembele is a beige as it gets and is much more of a concern to me than signing Berahinho.
Bentaleb, Eriksen, Lamela, Carroll and Alli are not beige passers of the ball; Mason prefers a short pass but he's adventurous. I'll give you Dembele, but even Dier's been putting in some nice through balls.

Poch is formulating a squad that moves the ball cleanly at tempo, and is trying to open up some more channels with attacking pace to compliment our passers. Remember how good we looked as a passing team on the counter under Redknapp? He wants to inject a bit of that.

We're really not going to do much better than that out our price range unless we buy young and speculative and get guys who are freakishly good passers/dribblers and hope they round out their game in 2 years time after we spend up to £10m getting them here and now.

That said I'd love it if we signed Embolo because he's the best young forward running around at the moment that isn't stitched up by a CL club.

Some up front, some installments. Not every club is loaded and they need funds to conduct business.

One of the WHUFC directors just said there's "one more to go" which narrows it down to Antonio, who is having a medical at present, or Adebayor.

Bored of that type of post mate. IF WE DON'T DO THE PLAYA SIGNIN I'M GONNA BE OWTRAJED!!!

It's not new, accurate or remotely interesting.

Today is the first time i have started putting people on ignore. I absolutely cannot believe the attitude of some grown men on here.

Its embarrassing.

I guess we'll be getting Sky's rock star introduction to Jim White this evening. I see BBC2 has a deadline day programme, but it's on during the afternoon. Still, the DDG saga is providing endless amusement.

Full on panic mode. One striker, only four real CMs for the 50+ matches we'll have this season.
