Yea so, what's stopping us offering DIego Carlos higher wages and hijacking the deal, for example. Nothing official has happened yet.
Because Carlos was 2nd on the hit list in Jan behind Botman, Botman being available again has obviously turned their head towards him again. It was Lille not Botman forcing the Milan deal through even though the deal was less money. Go have a read about the Police investigations.
I'm not on about any specific deal i was just using it as an example. Are we basically saying there's no point in a transfer window if teams are doing deals before it opens anyway?
They can do deals but the player can't be registered till the window opens. So they wouldn't be able to train or play with new club till the window opened. As for Villa the £175k a week Kamara is pocketing and the £200k a week Carlos is pocketing must pale into insignificance in comparison to working with Man City Legend Stevie G
So there is basically no point in a transfer window. By that logic someone has already done a deal with Botman and all the other good players and all signings will go through as soon as the window opens. It can't be that simple, otherwise there is literally no point in a transfer window.
To be fair, we have a bigger problem than just the signings.........Everyone says that they'll not believe we've signed (insert name here) till they see a picture of them on the pitch wearing the strip.........erm slight ****ing problem at our end with this one at the minute
Pretended to be David Ornstein from The Athletic saying the Diaby deal was done n dusted had a few hooked. Been reported by the real bloke and booted off Twitter permanently.
