If we’ve ‘done’ anything it will just be agreeing the price. U21’s only arrived back at Birmingham Airport about 3:30 this afternoon. Still the medical, personal terms and contract to sign. Should be a formality if we’ve finally settled on a price though.

Simon never said the announcement will be today... That other guy said the 25th, if I`m not mistaken

Thought personal terms were agreed ages ago. We wouldn't waste time going back and forth with Palace if we weren't already sure he would join.

Exactly this.
Why are some of our fans so.... less than keen with the observations!

Maybe because it’s not ‘a done deal’ as quoted. Nothing to do with when an announcement will be made. He’s not signed yet, that’s a done deal in my book. Should be a formality but suppose he fails a medical for some reason? I’d be staggered if we haven’t agreed the sale terms with CPFC after all this time, that’s what I think Simon is calling. Hope the club will announce that he’s undergoing a medical in the next day or two though.

What are you on about?

I know it's going to happen, anyway, see my earlier post on the subject. Just a matter of when.

This Simon guy implied it was done this afternoon.
And for all you know it was, just because there's no official announcement yet doesn't mean it's not done

He actually said the negotiation was done. He was saying that the story from Stone that we are still in negotiations is spin and we have agreed the fee and the terms which is not the same as saying it is done but is also a statement I could make and feel pretty confident about. We have not fecked around with this for the best part of two months only to walk away a couple of days before pre-season. It is easy to make claims like this and then claim your are vindicated when the inevitable happens. Now if he pops up tomorrow and says AWB press conference 3 o clock Thursday and proves to be right then I will concede he knows something but otherwise he is making a safe guess and I am not impressed.

And since when is a deal announced by the club the day it's technically completed?

Yes there needs to be an official announcement next day or two for him to be legit.
As the press were all talking of how we hadn't agreed anything.

Then this should cheer you up. Spoofex has returned with an update, apparently his source has tripled down on the fact that we are getting De Ligt and the deal will be completed this week, not announced but completed between the club and the player. Also we will wrap up AWB and Fernandes soon.
So just 36 hours after tripling down on De Ligt coming, Spoofex's "source" has now said De Ligt isn't coming (and that we may not sign a CB at all). What a truly astonishing turnaround. :smirk:

Not only that, he's been giving updates as an anonymous muppet as well. You couldn't make this shite up. This has easily been the most entertaining thing about this transfer window.:lol:

Xisimon has been right before hasn't he? Was (one of) the original ITK(s) before all the madness.
He called the signings of Fred, Grant and Dalot last year. He's different to the other ITKs in that he posts rarely, but when he does its usually solid info.
What is xisimon's view on De Ligt? Im on the wagon now.
He had said in May that while we initially believed De Ligt was headed to Barca, something had happened that made his move there less certain, prompting us to make an offer. He hasn't mentioned anything about De Ligt since then, other than to call out people who had been falsely claiming it was a done deal.

I Think Simon's source is within IT and marketing department. As soon as the source is told "Make a graphic for the announcement". Simon finds out and tells us Muppets

He said we were in for Koulibaly over a month ago and hasn't said anything since. I'm holding out hope that we're still in for him and this Slabhead garbage in the press is just a smokescreen.

Would make sense - he was extremely vocal about the supposed ITKs that said De Ligt was done weeks ago because the marketing team was putting together a big graphic/campaign.

That was before whatever happened with Barca and De Ligt though. Also, Napoli have been very vocal in asserting they won't sell Koulibaly, so I'd be surprised if we were still in for him.
