Steve7 : "I have heard SL is a done deal. Not being announced until WB have signed their players just to appease the fans."
Simon Clark ‏@simonhul 5m Confirmation from #hcafc that Long deal has not gone through. Gedo though has re-joined the club.
SSN reporting that WBA have missed out on Anichebe and Lukaku. I'm guessing that a knock on effect means you've missed out?
To be fair.... West Brom fans sick as a pig because they were told they had got LuKaku back. **** them, and their average signings.
West Brom didnt get the paperwork in for Anichebe in time but are still hoping the Premier League will sanction the deal as they have shown "intent to sign" and an agreement between the two clubs. Wonder if that will come back to bite them on the backside?
Gedo is certainly not my preferred signing, but welcome back and good luck in proving me to be a poor judge.
Is it? I haven't looked, but my source is always right. Gedo didn't get a renewed work permit in time and West Brom didn't even start filling out the paperwork for Long. Apparently he's well pissed off about it.
Sadly. Steve Clarke pulled out right before the deadline. Shane Long was at our training ground for a good two hours waiting for it to be confirmed.
Told you Gedo had rejoined. It was confirmed to me by my source at about 9:30. Believe. I am the ITK guru.
His agent said it is all done, and Burnsy confirmed that he has joined. The club hasnt said it yet but that is good enough for me.
That was meant to be sarcastic but this thread was moving so fast it appeared way put of where I wanted it to. Was an attempt at humour. I was about to post if that if that came true I would be preening like a peacock just like HCAFC but then about ten posts appeared on the thread and sort of spoilt it!!
Gutted we didn't sign him! Come on guys throw all of your abuse at me, get it off your chest! Shane long agreed everything, it was ready! Clarke pulled the plug last second and got one over us. Sh1t happens. I'll happily be the guy in the firing line for abuse, I should have kept my mouth shut but I was so confident!
