The Nunes bids only came about after the Paquetta betting situation was exposed, it's going to look like a fast thing because the whole situation has come about with 2 weeks left in the window. The whole thing has probably been over a month for them.
Besides our issue has been widely reported as needing to move players on before bringing them in, that's been the real problem.
Well, it does not change the fact that the deal happened within a couple of days. No matter how we put it and what kind of explanation we look for it, we are damn slow in making progress for any deal.
I agree, the main issue is selling our players and hope we can get rid off some, but hell, we are aware we must get someone replaced and still aren’t capable of getting anything as we are amateurs in the transfer business. It’s really painful to watch this
So have Palace still not signed Henderson?
I do hope this deal is through! Considering he’s already sold, we have money and place to use it.
I'm sure a lot of the sources are bull but if we are really struggling to even loan Amrabat then the club is in big trouble. If Forest had a 17 million bid accepted then even if we paid the United tax you would think we could get him for close to 20 million.
The most mind boggling thing is we could have got 60 million for Maguire and McTominay who are unlikely to play much this season and replaced the with Amrabat and a decent 3rd/4th choice CB.
The thing about the combo deal including Maguire and McT. is that we refused the McT separately as we wanted more than 30 mio. We will never neither get more than 30 mio for McT. again nor will he move to Bayern, he will stay at the club and play approx 10-20 minutes from the bench from time to time. Oh and Harry, well this is another story as no words are needed… what a shame.
I still hope we can get Amrabat over the line but all this loan rumors must be really pissing him off as a player. Waiting the whole window to move to his dream club and forcing the move, not even being in the squad for the second game in a row, by getting finally to the Premier League and not to United but to Forest or somewhere else probably.
