Based on the fact that there is a private flight from Istanbul to England tonight. Straw clutching, surely?

I think a fee needs to be agreed before he flys here, maybe it has been

 

[Hugo Rune]

Christ, we might have another 12 twelve days of this bartering/posturing to endure. Right up until 11pm on the Friday.

That’s what my money is on!

more likely to spend whole flight being told to get off the floor by the cabin crew

Or 'he's gonna cry in a minute'

 

[Cheggers]

Is this whole deal becoming too complicated and drawn out?

We could always walk away from it, leave the offer on the table and leave the door ajar.

If he comes back to us at a later date, we can consider it in the light of our requirements at that point.

We could do, and I wouldn't want us to pander to agents etc., but I get the sense that modern footballers like to be courted (tapped up!). From interviews with players we have bought previously, they often talk about how we followed them for a long time, had discussions, made it known we were keen on them. If we were to offer his current club an ultimatum now - 'Take our offer or leave it' - he may feel (preciously) that he is likely to be better treated by another club. Just my thoughts.

How about us and Man Utd have a gentleman's bet on the game on Saturday.

Loser has to back out of the Kadioglu deal.

If it's a draw, we do a penalty shoot out after the fans have gone

It's going to look a bit silly as there is no reliable evidence to support Manchester United being after him at all.

36hrs or so but I felt compelled to come back to comment...not a dig Eeyore but where is any credible evidence we are after him, bar independent so called transfer gurus?

You will have your evidence when he signs. Be patient.

 

[Bald Head]

And know for something completely different, Palace one down to brentford ,

Well, this is true. But I can guarantee, we will sign him or we won't.

The plane in question is en route from Zurich to Istanbul b4 it leaves to fly to Biggin Hill

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

And it's delayed leaving Istanbul this evening.

Or 'he's gonna cry in a minute'

One of my favourite games of all time was when 10 man albion beat palace 3-1 including an Andone wonder goal. That night the singing of 'he's gonna cry in a minute ' was deafening. Just brilliant!

And it's delayed leaving Istanbul this evening.

Working out a new flight plan to Manchester.

Romano - among others - have said that Brighton are interested, and are hardly independent - they're doing what agents tell them, and agents are in the know.

Romano, Plattenburg, Ornstein and a couple of other "transfer gurus" are infinitely more accurate than the "traditional" news sources (a.k.a. tabloids) that we're shitting out rumours with a 10-20% accuracy in the past.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Good spot. Could it be Zaha going to palace though?

Zaha going shopping more like. His star has fallen so much that even Palace don't want him any more, and Leicester City (yes, relegation favourites Leicester City) decided he wasn't worth a punt. Probably flying home for a spot of dinner and a wander round Knightsbridge.
