Exactly.JJ was confident in January as well...
A number of times he's been confident in the past only for something to go tits up at the final stages.
This is what worries me. If Edouard is number 1 target but we are unable to agree a fee, I guess we move to Milik again but what if that goes south top? On to Diallo? But what if he moves in the mean time?
I guess Levy, Hitchens and Jose have sat down and had numerous meetings about the targets and strategy on what happens should a domino fall. This is probably where Jose's confidence comes from as he knows we have other targets to fall back on. And this is ultimately how the club operate.
But something can happen unexpectedly
that throws that strategy into chaos.
And it's happened over many windows.
