Maybe, I won't guess further, I was just repeating what he said about the thursday.
He said "A&C is currently “tied-up”; but has suggested the Goat will be aroused shortly.. " (here, the page after he'd said he'd reveal on Thursday) and then the Goat indeed said the thing about Fernandes and another "big" medical today.

The hard work is being done right now. It feels like within the next 6 hours we'll know if the final 24 hours will be absolute elation or Chernobyl-esque meltdown.

To be fair I've quite enjoyed reading the ITK 'post mortem' reports before. Think Herc did a detailed one once.

Which given the last couple of windows has been akin to looking at old photos and facebook of an ex who left you whilst crying into a pot noodle.

Hmm, at what time we ought to know? I mean things should be very close at some point tonight or early in tomorrow for deals to be finalised by deadline. Close thing might collapse, but likelihood of deals coming out of blue after some point is close to zero. So unless something looks about done by XX:XX o'clock it won't be done. What might XX:XX be?
There's only about 20 hours of office time left. Stuff has to be well progressed. I'm guessing 2 in if were lucky which wont be to bad

Bruno being the least desired of our targets indicates something has fallen through elsewhere it sounds like. Hopefully he still does the business though, and he's joined by one of the others.

The nature of the days before deadline day - updates come from multiple places, but not necessarily in chronological order as it is fed from different sources. So you can get one update saying something is on, and 5 minutes later saying it’s off, and in reality the first update is the most up-to-date one. Very difficult to tell the current state of each deal. Enjoy the ride!

Agree, my worry is that it’s Dybala as I’ve always felt Poche wanted Lo Celso the most.

Fernandes is still an outstanding player to get.

Cheers Breezer... adding that to the rest of the ITK could suggest that we have "failed" or are not confdident in getting one of the big(ger) targets, IF that is indeed the reasons. Could just be Poch wants him more.

Plus should doesn't automatically mean will... but it's the strongest suggestion of which one we are likely to see happen next.

Thanks as always for the update (y)
