The payments are staged through the season, but for the promoted clubs, the biggest is the first one.
When's hernandez signing? Clubs tell the press to put pressure on players, nothing more nothing less. If it were a formality, like with clucas, they withhold the news so they can be the ones to break it.
From my understanding that is the deadline the day before the game for the premier league to do the admin stuff on the Friday.
Completely different circumstances, Diame was on his way to Newcastle, the club had to at least try and show they were trying to keep him.
Alternatively agents tell the press that contracts talks are ongoing to highlight that they havent actually signed yet.
They had no need to announce anything with regard to Maguire or Robertson, with Diame they did, despite it already being a lost cause. It's really not complicated.
We had no need to announce it with Clucas, so we didnt until he signed. And it's really not complicated to grasp that offering a contract and a player signing it are not the same thing.
Nowhere is that piece does it say that the deal is done apart from PL approval. So sorry but no you didn't.
That keeper we were allegedly in for... PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu is joining Sevilla on a season-long loan.
