I personally believe it’s already a done deal. We’ve clearly been chasing this kid for a while. He’s already flown over for talks during lockdown. We’ve gone back in with a bid, which multiple good sources confirm.

For those who say “we never hear about transfers before they’re announced”.

That’s not always been the case, especially recently. The Moises deal was all over Twitter before the club confirmed it. Ditto MacAllister and Lallana. And most recently Velasco (but that one isn’t confirmed yet). One negative, you would assume we may need to wait for Argentina to be knocked out of the Copa America before anything official is announced.

Or maybe the deal's been inked, he'll score the winner in the final and we'll sell him to Arsenal for £50million?

I expect the equivalent is true of any deal involving a player at the Euros as well.

I'm sorry but l completely disagree.

I'm just annoyed with myself for being taken in by all this. Tony Bloom is one ver canny individual, and he is famous for keeping moths in his wallet. In this economic climate particularly, he will not part with more than a penny unless he absolutely has to.

We all know how easy it is to start a transfer rumour, then before you know it everyone is saying that a deal is as good as done. The club has gone out of it's way to state that not much business will be done during this window, and if Danny Welbeck signs a new contract, then l think he will be looked on by the club, as being the new striker signing.

Maybe l'm wrong, but that's the way that l see it.

Players can do medicals anywhere these days. Getting them done at a tournament might even be easier due to the facilities on hand. Only potential roadblock atm might be whether club officials can enter the relevant country due to Covid restrictions.

F**k that, I'm getting his name tattooed on my scrotum as we speak.

How's it turned out ?

I was thinking more in terms of players wanting to concentrate on the tournament, so not wanting to sign a deal or decide between options until after they're done. But Covid probably won't help either.

The club obviously aren’t going to announce they’re to spend money or comment on how much business they’re doing.

Without even considering White or Biss, we have a lot of outgoings. So it makes sense we have a reasonable transfer pot. But anyway we can agree to disagree and wait to see what happens [emoji106]

Like most things associated with my scrotum - disappointing.

Couldn’t agree with you more. Loads of potential outgoings, obvious big interest in some players that could generate additional funds. It’s obvious to all what we need and the idea that DW would be considered the new striker is comical. If he stays great, if not we have ANOTHER. Space to fill.

Why would a club conclude a deal with a player worth 25M when there is a possibility he may pick up a serious injury in an international tournament?
Would that be part of the deal, transfer is off if that happens?

There is also a possiblity that anyone gets injured at any time but the club still needs to do business.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Have they?

They haven't.

That said, we actually don't need to bring many in - assuming we don't sell all of White, Bissouma, Lamptey, Groß and Sanchez at once.

 

[dennis]

I actually think it’s a better move to buy a player before you sell.
We don’t know how much we’ll get for White but we’ve turned down £40 million allegedly.

If we had sold him first, other clubs would know how much money we had made and would push for more.

 

[White Fan man]

Not a hint of sarcasm in sight here [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION]!

Did Pele play in multiple leagues? How many times have you seen Messi live? I have seen him multiple times and he is the best player I have seen. Still scored 35 goals for Barca this season.

Honestly I don’t think this signing is linked to Ben White at all. We have plenty of other outgoings lined up already.

Complete guesswork unless you have connections with the three head honchos at the Albion. To quote Manuel “I know nothing”

Gattusso has just walked out on them after only 23 days in charge so hopefully they’ve got more pressing matters!
