You've gotta be kidding me http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/14239753.AFC_Bournemouth__with_eleventh_hour_bid_for_hornets_target/
Worrying thing about that is it actually took me to this http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/suarez_tempted
Only put money on this you're willing to lose. I barely have the patience to run my own account never mind a second one. Will take that as a compliment though.
Apparently we've signed Mario Suarez from Fiorentina, didn;t see that one coming. Wrappd it up quite quickly as well. For those of you who don't know him, here's a You Tube video. [YT]watch?v=JFEzqjms92k[/YT] Looks like a good player.
Of course you do realise that anything you have to wait this long for in a state of heightened anticipation will inevitably turn out to be ****
For your curiosity: I read on Udinese forums rumours that negotiation with Fiorentina was for the "whole package" of Mario Suarez for WFC AND Ryder Matos for Udinese (http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryder-matos/profil/spieler/62713) for a total 8M€. Fiorentina was very interested in having from us in the deal Valerio Verre(http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/valerio-verre/profil/spieler/162961), who is doing very well in his loan season in serie B, but Pozzo said absolutely not. Also, it is said that while keeping the total at 8M€, transfer fees were a little overpriced for Suarez and underpriced for Matos. Aren't you happy that WFC is the richer one in the Triad now and can give some help?
Booo. Why do we always have to help Udinese out? When are they gong to learn to stand on their own 2 feet?
To be honest, I have absolutley no problem in overpaying slightly if the deals involve Udinese and Granada. We'd be silly to forget the help they've given us in the past 3 years, we wouldn't have had a squad under Zola without them.
Lets be honest...we wouldn't be in the Prem if it wasn't for Udinese and Granada, so I'm all for giving some back.
deal off? that's what ive been hearing all day on here. ye of little faith, what does it matter if he signs today, tomorrow, or sunday?
My theory is they are trying to tie up another deal, maybe Sinclair and will announce them together. #statementofintent
Pato arrived in London a few days ago and Chelsea have only just announced his signing so sometimes these things take time.
Really? Where? I've not heard or seen anyone say "deal's off". Everyone's finding the delay annoying but no more than that.
Yep, or factoring in a Purple/Udi deal at the same time maybe. Something like that. The delay's annoying but probably nothing to worry about.
I miss the days before the internet when you had to wait for Friday's Wobby before discovering we'd signed someone that week. :yawn1:
Relax folks, the delay was because Suarez accidentally got a flight to Waterford in Ireland and has only just realised that he's on the wrong island. Currently on the ferry to N Wales as we speak.
Finally some good news for everyone panicking. https://mobile.twitter.com/lewisthompson89/status/693223528242503680
To be fair it was pretty obvious he was staying at the Grove. That just proves he was there tonight, he could be on the first flight back to Italy in the morning! We know that's not the case though (hopefully). I'm sure it's all just been a matter of getting clearances etc this evening and they'll announce it in the morning.
