Downie's comments on the Xhaka transfer were a good reminder that most transfer waffle is just waffle. Most of us had convinced ourselves it was off, but in reality Leverkusen just named their price and KLD met it, end of.

Could be the same as Xhaka. Allowed to speak yo the player with the assumption an offer will be made if all's well.From that it would seem we are the only club to have lodged a formal bid. I'm sure we had approached the player a while back re wages etc.
That's what I was thinking, seem to do deals backwards these days.Could be the same as Xhaka. Allowed to speak yo the player with the assumption an offer will be made if all's well.
This is a good point actually. We must have had some positive feedback to go in with a bid as no club wants to bid for a player they have zero chance to sign and are 100% going to get a public knockback . I am confident again just a few minutes after my post saying i highly doubt it.

?.... I Think He Is Coming Soon?ITHICS
It's the hope I can't stand?.... I Think He Is Coming Soon?
Not aloneI might be alone in this but I still think Alese has a chance. When fit (yes I know) he is perhaps our best CB and also a decent LB.
Cheers for the heads upIt's the hope I can't stand
“Most of us”????Downie's comments on the Xhaka transfer were a good reminder that most transfer waffle is just waffle. Most of us had convinced ourselves it was off, but in reality Leverkusen just named their price and KLD met it, end of.
Aye, based on a straw poll I pulled out of my arse, and I'm sticking with it!“Most of us”????

That story is an amalgamation of old and new news. The other teams mentioned haven’t followed through with offers, only us. I think this now comes down to the player, if he pushes it from his side it’ll happen. I get the impression his agent is touting him around looking for “a better offer”It's gonna be very very hard to get this one over the line if them teams mentioned really are interested. The only thing is if we move quickly. He can sign a pre contract abroad in January so they will sell if be doesn't sign . I'd love to get him
Sounds about right. We need some quick movement which sounds daft after all we have dome so far in the strangest transfer window in my lifetime (I'm 49) The Keane last day window was great and funny as it was all in one day, but the level of players and the money involved is just well well above anything that we are used to. Especially after the last 8 years but we haven't even finished yet, and let's hope we finish it with a bang and get our number 1 targetsThat story is an amalgamation of old and new news.

Sounds messyAye, based on a straw poll I pulled out of my arse, and I'm sticking with it!
