Why not wait to see if its genuine and an explanation from the club?

Sky were suggesting that it was done today. Maybe we were holding off to see if we could make it permanent. I'd expect it announced by tomorrow though if he has signed.

I shouldn't bother, he doesn't really love us you know.

Fee's ranging from 7m to 11m or so have been reported. God only knows. f***ing short sighted given when his contract ends like.
Let's hope you're right. Just checked Nick Barnes Twitter, he's saying Moyes told him that it wasn't possible to sign a pre contract (not sure why it wouldn't be possible like but there we go). Also M'Vila's comment really didn't sound like someone who has just agreed a deal. Hope to god I'm wrong, like you say if he has agreed one it could surely be announced by tomorrow so we'll know soon enough

Agree with all this mate, it looks worrying. I'm just clinging to the hope that Sky's reporter was stood inside the Stadium when announcing this so you presume he must have had some word, unofficially, from the club before doing so.

Recent experience with Blain and Moyes suggests that they prefer to keep club business inside the club.
We have today signed two players who none of us knew we were after. Well done the club say I.

It was 10 million but not sure it was euros or the obvious...would have been 7 but the exchange rate has changed things

Wonder if we paid 3m loan fee or something then it was 7m to make it permanent?

that is the key, did Maggie do the due diligence before agreeing to the deal with the Russian club?

Annoying for SMB but surely sensible?

Can negotiate freely within 6 months of contract expiring iirc.

Your guess is as good as mine, but I'm guessing not....
I wouldn't go as far as to say well done the club like. I'm not massively disappointed with the window but it hasn't been great either. We haven't managed to get several of our main targets in terms of keepers so we just need to hope that the one we ended up with right on the deadline is at least competent. We did buy a midfielder but, having lost a key midfielder from last season and seen another key one get injured, signing one was the very least we needed. We haven't got a striker so if Defoe gets injured any time before Christmas we're fucked, everyone has known we need a striker so it's frustrating to miss out.
They've done well enough with the defence like, getting djilibodji and denayer in whilst keeping Kone suggests we should be fine there, I think mcnair will end up okay as back up too. Januzaj looks promising too.
Some will go on as if it's been a nightmare window, it hasn't been. It hasn't been good either though
