Downie might not have been briefed at all by the club, surely he can get the info from all the flight tracking stuff just like others on here?

As a journalist wouldn’t he be the one to ask a follow up question if he felt it was appropriate? I’m not being an arse here btw, I simply fail to understand why the club would say anything other than what they have, mind I also fail to understand why anybody would be overly interested in anything other than the fact that it’s postponed atm, just like I couldn’t fathom why that winger fell through caused any debate other than we’ll have to find another one if we need one, not was he injured, did he ask for more money, was it his agent etc etc. none of my business tbh.

You're right but the transfer window thread would be pretty boring if we weren't allowed to analyse the impact of why our "confirmed" signings have been delayed! We'd have nowt to talk about this morning.

That's your opinion mate, if you're not interested then that's fine

Downie would not post transfer info based on guessing a flight on the flight tracker is Guiu. He would have been told that was the case by his sources. They have spoke about this multiple times how they have to get multiple sources befotre deciding to say anything or report anything

I just think if it was weather, the club would have said so (via the press). Would explain everything in an instant.

I think we’re at a stage, good in my opinion, whereby the club try to control the narrative and keep things to a minimum …

… too much information is sometimes worse than too little, although supporters probably won’t agree.

Yeh I agree completely re: controlling the narrative, but that's why I think if it was weather related they'd say so - that's controlling the narrative. Not giving a reason is letting idiots like me speculate.

I’ve not followed events but, have the club announced a flight at all?

No absolutely not, they'd never comment publicly until the signing is signed and scarf pic'd.

But journalists all reported he'd fly yesterday and then Keith reported the flight has been postponed for unknown reasons. At that point to control the narrative the club would give a reason to Keith to report but they didn't.

Now of course, Keith was off work yesterday and could have literally been checking flight radar. Could be anything.

All I'm saying (and its literally all I'm saying), is that weather as a reason doesn't add up for me. And that's for multiple reasons, not least because the weather yesterday was pretty decent and private flights took off and landed all day.

Yeah and the flight in question, changed destination to fly back to Salzburg so not sure weather related would make sense

love a good transfer twist. Here's an example of where a transfer has been "done" TWICE... and then had a twist.

Akpom was HERE WE GO to Birmingham when Boro came in.

Then he chose Birmingham and it was back to HERE WE GO

Now Ipswich have come in...

Just a guess but I think the club probably has better things to do ...

... once you start reporting everything that's happening you sometimes create noise around every situation.

Realistically, if the player's situation has changed we'll be straight onto the next in my opinion.
