[SIGNED perm] Ismaila Sarr - club record fee

All is well apart from the tiny matter of the transfer fee. Can’t see anything possibly going wrong then.

 

Creative writing at its finest there from the Standard:

Watford finishing the window with a ‘flourish’ apparently!

That ‘flourish’ amounts to us being no further forward in the details of a deal than we were a month ago and holding onto our midfielder who wasn’t even linked strongly with a move until 2 days ago.

That would be ‘peak’ Watford. Describing the window as a success because we turned down a measly bid. Crack out the bunting and fine cutlery...

 

L'equipe reporting it's pretty much done, 30m EUR + 5m EUR bonuses. Five year deal. Firmly into the critical period now.

What time is table booked for in Rome where Gino and the Rennes guy are supposedly meeting? If it’s after 3pm, we are screwed.

 

As it will be about 2 pounds to every euro by the end of the year it may be best to pay the add ons now.

 

Table time is currently under negotiation. Jamie from Media should be the first to know when a breakthrough's made

 

Just so!
The tiling is nearly completed according to Athlete's Foot/Adam's Rib.

 

Bet the deal falls through after Gino refuses to ‘Go Dutch’ and offers just €3.27 towards a €300 bill.

...or misunderstands what ‘Go Dutch’ means and refuses to throw Zeegelaar into the deal.

 

Good afternoon everyone

I can confirm that this transfer is going ahead.

Kind Regards

Tim

 

Gino's lost his touch. 2 years ago, this would have been £5m and they'd have taken Okaka off our hands.

 

We have apparently beaten the Rennes president in the negotiations.

 

I have important news about this and other transfers, but it’s under an embargo until 6pm on Thursday.

Watch this space!!

 

nothing like a gentle paddling...

 

We sent Troy over to give them an offer they couldn't refuse.

 

Weird. I read that as ‘Rennes President has Gino Pozzo over a barrel after Watford owners opening bid of €15m is nearly doubled before being accepted.’

 

He's a Sarrrrr-man, playing on the right,
I think you should be worried, cos your left back's complete s***e

 

Will be completed. Has just asked for a tour of Watford to make sure he likes it before signing so is about to driven down Whippendell Road and up Market Street. What is there to go wrong?

 

Yes.....beaten into a pulp. You don't mess with Italians.

 

Exchange Road as I’ve heard he loved the series ‘Chernobyl’.

 

Absolute shambles of a transfer.

Nailed on for someone else to SWOOP in for him before pen is put to paper.

Watford are shambolic when it comes to signing off and completing transfers - they may say they make quick decisions but it takes an age to get them completed.

 

This whole transfer window is either a success or failure based on this it appears. If this goes through and we keep our key players then I think a good window - if not a disaster.

Seems strange thing to say as never seen the guy play and know nothing about him. Hopefully good and gets players like Gerry and Peryra a kick up backside so become more consistent.

 

Good afternoon Hornets.

I can confirm that my sources have corroborated my esteemed colleague Tim's assertion that the transfer is going ahead.

Can I please also remind you not to obtain your transfer information from anyone other than accredited ITK members. Accreditation can be assumed from our avatars.

Remember, as we say in China 骗人一次，受疑一世。(He that once deceives is ever suspected).

King regards

Are you related to @RookeryDad?

 

Is he actually any good or are we chasing the new Jamie Moralee

 

I will be impressed and pleasantly surprised if we get this over the line for 30m plus addons.

 

The penguins here in Antarctica are busy sliding all over the ice.

I'm guessing it's because they're giddy with excitement at the prospect of Sarr signing.

This could well be on.

 

Dear Tom

Tim Ming Tom.
Sounds like the South Korean midfield.

 

He'll be utter **** and we will all be laughing at him lining up in the Championship next season.

 

Good afternoon,

My Leicestershire-based sources have told me that Mr. Sarr is currently at Northampton services and is mulling over whether to head north or south. I have received some reports that he had a pasty for his lunch, although there is a strong rumour that he bought a tray of sushi from M&S.

 

Racist.

 

Leventhal latest

#WatfordFC transfer update

Talks advancing around Sarr transfer involving key Watford/Rennes parties (Pozzo/Duxbury/Letang/Sarr & reps)

Deal structure still being finalised - but as per here for @TheAthleticUK fee inc add-ons likely to reach £37m

https://t.co/NbTJ0CpH71

I'm genuinely not adding in The Athletic stuff.

 

You're turning your attentions to Deulofeu apparently! That means we've got Sarr for sure, right?

 

Adam Leventhal had confirmed that he has read elsewhere on Twitter that talks are progressing and has thrown in a few names too to give a bit more weight to it.

 

There can be only one Jamie Moralee. Hopefully.
