Wilson Palacios (from Rumour to Transfer Done)

[sidford]

cheers for the update yiddster. that sort of thing can be agreed with wigan its more convincing the player to move to us this month that im worried about

 

[KalSpur]

Assuming we agree personal terms with Palacios, how long would a medical typically take, plus actually putting pen to paper, plus taking photos, or whatever else they do, etc?

Just trying to get a timeline on the whole thing before an announcement can be reasonably expected.

 

[Zapsta]

Tomorrow afternoon. It'll all be done by tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Kendall]

Usually from when they arrive for a medical it usually takes a few hours before a smiley picture ends up on the website.

I'd say if he was due at say 10am, expect a picture at around 5pm.

 

[AngerManagement]

SSN reported after having spoke to Harry that he said this is the only deal on at the moment and it is difficult to conduct business in this window when competing against the likes of Man City.

May well be true, we really aren't being linked with anyone else right now (aside silly rumours with zero substance)

I would not be suprised to see Defoe and Palcios as our only dealings.

Leaves us weak upfront for the Uefa, but does address two key areas we are lacking. Would have liked to see a LW and a Strong centre forward.

So far only one ITK has said 'done'. Normally you can expect around half a dozen or so to chime in well before the actual signing.

I'd be surprised if it's much before the weekend. Let's say Friday arvo. And I suspect there will be at least one more red herring thrown in by Wigan. They've done the 'there's another team' one, the 'we're offering him more money' one, and the 'we're resigned to losing him but the terms aren't right yet'. Which pretty much only leaves the old faithful 'the goalposts have been moved and the deal's off'. Watch this space.

He's suspended for 2 matches, so if he's registered before tomorrow night's match, he'll only miss that (which he'd miss anyway) and the Man U match, whereas if he isn't registered until after the Burnley match, he'll miss our first league match back. So he'll sign by tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Bill_Oddie]

Good point. Also, I'm already thinking it's Wednesday.

Either way, it would represent an unusually quick deal to be announced today.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I've just found out (via SSN) that he trialled at Arsenal Aug 2007.

I know nothing.

Could play for us against Stoke.

Palacios is due to serve a two-match ban after pickig up his tenth yellow card of the campaign at the weekend so Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is keen to complete the signing before Wednesday's Carling Cup trip to Burnley.
If he does, Palacios will be available for the home game with Stoke on January 27th.
If the deal isn't done until Thursday the midfielder won't be available until the trip to Bolton on January 31.

I don't see how the suspensions can count for games that he is cup-tied for. I'm pretty sure they haven't taken that into account.

 

[THX2208]

Redknapp on SSN says that a deal has been agreed with wigan and that Levy is speaking to his people trying to agree personal terms.

To be fair he is hardly likely to tell SSN that yes we are looking at player a and player b...due to the fact that he is already getting grief for talking about other clubs players...tipping off Man City as to who we are looking at in the national press will not help us get the jump on them.

What are they all whining about. Now he's in London they'll at least be able to see him first hand:rofl:

 

[whl_yid1982]

That is sad. He had a bright future ahead of him, but I have my doubts now. Spurs are cursed.

Haha this made me laugh.

Do you know I read all 3 pages of that, and I never knew manure fans were such wankers.

 

[VegasII]

Yup - they're cocks. They've had all that success & they're moaning. Lots of fairweather people support Utd in the same way that life's natural assholes support the gooners.

I guess us yiddos are humourous whingers with depth, loyalty, & a lot of insanity.
