So for all the people saying " it's the same as last summer" - that's clearly not true. This definitely has legs.
I assume knowing Woodward, he will wait until the very last moment to try and drop the deal as low as possible. Sporting want to keep him for their weekend match, so I assume this won't happen for a week yet.
Expect a few more days of YO-YO'ing before we eventually get the deal done.
TLDR; Player wants to join us, club want to sell, we need the player. The only reason this doesn't happen is if Woodward is a pillock or we find a better alternative (not likely)
