right, first of all, why would his current club announce he's passed a medical somewhere else? never heard of a club doing that before so i'd guess that's made up.

and secondly, very strong reports from the netherlands are now saying the toivonen deal is dead and i have to say, i'm inclined to believe them <ok>

so i assume we will move on to new targets for the creative spark in the midfield.

Looking on twitter, there's several Everton fans questioning why we're bothering with Fer on account of his knees, and wondering why our medical team haven't noticed the issue. Others say they'll never forgive Kenwright if he turns out to be a massive signing for us. What odds on him scoring the winner on the opening day of the season? Also interesting that a well-followed Twente fan account is saying the outcome of Fer's medical is unknown, but seem confident that one was actually happened.

i'd tread with caution on the whole medical front. fc twente always claimed fer never even had a medical at everton. they stated that everton tried to reduce the fee at the last minute and that is why the deal collapsed. obviously everton claim differently but kenwright has form for this sort of thing - they missed out on another player for the same reason a year or so ago - i think he was algerian but can't say for sure. we may never know if he failed a medical or not but fer played almost a whole season last year and only missed 2 league games following the close of the window. if our team say he's fit, he's fit.

It'd be a shame, but if his heart isn't it it, there's no point him joining. Honda anyone? <whistle>

Love the Everton fan on twitter saying "Nah, we don't want Fer anyway, we've got Pienaar". What?
 
Just updated the OP to reflect a few recent changes. Also, transfermarkt have got some values for transfer fees up, not sure how accurate they are but:
Holt - £2.64m
Vaughan - £765k

and inbound:
Olsson - £2.55m
Redmond - £2.02m

They reckon we've currently bought £13.5m worth of players for £14.7m, whilst £11.3m worth of players has left for £3.4m.

For comparison:
Swansea: £11.5m worth inbound for £8.1m spent, £3.5m worth departed for nothing
Stoke: £6.8m worth inbound for £3.1m, £3m worth departed for nothing
Sunderland: £15m inbound for £12.5m, £12.7m worth leaving for £11.3m - basically broken even so far surprisingly
WBA: £440k worth in for nothing, lost £5.1m worth for nothing
Everton: £11m worth in for £9.7m, £2.3m departing for nothing
Southampton: £7m worth arriving for £8.8m, £1m worth leaving for nothing
Villa: £15.1m worth in for £10.8m, £11.6m worth leaving for £2.6m
Hull: £14m worth in for £5.9m, £4.4m worth leaving for nothing
Palace: £3.7m worth in for £5.5m, £2m worth leaving
Cardiff: £4m worth in for £7.7m, £700k worth leaving

Not sure how helpful those stats are, as in terms of gains, we've currently spent £11.3m in increasing the value of our squad by £3.4m <yikes><whistle> But the most canny clubs so far have perhaps been Swansea, Stoke, Sunderland, Villa, Everton and Hull, whilst ourselves and Southampton have done sightly worse, with Cardiff and Palace paying over the odds the most.

Word from Leroy Fer's agent is that no official confirmation of Fer to Norwich, until at least Friday. #Twente

I bet you this deal won't happen!

<laugh> I was on the broads (Hickling) yesterday and I saw a disused windpump...which was built by the Dutch who were experts at land reclamation. It would make a quirky home for "our" Leroy? :emoticon-0112-wonde

Stayed in a hotel at Volendam and there was a painting of a green single decker bus on the stairs with "Ormesby" on the destination board.

I don't get why it should take so long? Medical done and guessing terms are agreed so why such a wait?

Maybe there's a "cooling off" period, where either club or player can walk away? If the &#8364;8m fee is accurate, it's a big fee for us, and a big move for the player.

maybe waiting international clearance which does take up 24-48 hours to get. that why they wait because if he don't get clearance the deal will not happen if he gets it he will
