That is exactly what happened.
He couldn't get to Cott for the deadline and a copy was sent to hotel halfway down the route and he signed it there, he wouldn't have made the deadline otherwise.

The City admin team sent a 'Deal Sheet' into the FA before the deadline to say that the deal was agreed and would go ahead, this allowed a few hours grace for Hatem to get to Cottingham to complete the deal. I believe the deal was one of the last to be ratified on that transfer deadline night.
 
I think it was pretty obvious he was going to do well though.

So far he's scored the same amount as Abel H. He more than likely will become an excellent player, but at the moment he's not proved anything more than being a Championship player.

I know. He was proven to be a top championship player. We are now in the premier league

Exactly!
 
I might be alone but I'd be happy for Able to leave. He's never wanted to be here the entire time he has been here and always wanted to be back in Italy.

I don't want players at the club who think they are bigger than the club, who hold their Holy presence against the club.

On his day he can be a great player but too often is he too lazy. Too many matches does he go missing.

Should he stay then so be it and I would be happy. But if he leaves for 20m and we have enough time to bring in 2 strikers then so be it too.

I appreciate his contribution to our promotion season but his want away attitude is poison.

If our squad wasn't so threadbare and replacements could quickly be made then I would bite their hands off.
Joining a Championship club who where so poor last year and have only guarantees of promotion this season shows a massive lack of ambition from him.

He should prove his worth in the top league a d get a move to a top Italian team.
As someone posted on here the other day a quote from George graham:
Never sign a player from a better club because he'll think he's doing you a favour

I agree with your post though providing we can spend the money on a decent striker preferably with pl experience

Brilliant player. Being from Kent, when I'm not going to City I'm working at Gills.
Probably saw him play 20+ times last season. He's brilliant, won best player in League 1. He's available for just over £3m but in recent months has become quite injury prone.

Injury prone, sounds like the player for us then.
 
Does he need to, as long as his agent sorts all the terms out I'm sure with a fax machine or email it could be all signed. Judging by your username I'm suprised you didn't think of that

Who uses a fax machine nowadays? It is to communication what Betamax videos are to film viewing.

I PDF or e mail everything.

I don't know what the Villa obsession is about anyway. Why would you drop down a division. You can always wait till Jan and try and move on then to a better club...but Villa.

That's it, if he stays and scores he'll get a better move in January or he walks away on a free next summer and will probably get his Italian move

Sorry but I believe you are wrong. The deal was signed mid route.

Sky Sports have just said that Joe Hart is leaving the England Training camp tomorrow to fly to Turin to sort out his loan move to Torino!

So Dr T Xia is going to have to fly out to Uruguay to sign Abel if he wants him, as Abel won't be flying back to UK until next week!

I hope he flies all the way out to Uruguay and Abel just says to him "nah you're alright" there's something very strange with him. Bit of a mentalist.
