Just an idea but if you were about to throw £30,000,000 (I used all the zeroes so that people might realise just how much money it is and stop acting like it's monopoly money) at a player. Wouldn't you wait until after he has played in a international? Just for that small chance god forbid he might get a season ending injury. The sheik may be rich but he's not stupid. Same goes for Milner.

My theory as well, why spend circa 50mil on 2 players just prior to them playing for their countries, hence we wait until Weds/Thurs.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Makes no sense to me.

Good players always have to go off to play for their countries and you always take the risk that they come back damaged. It's a fact of life. You can't legislate for it or you'd never sign anyone.

More worrying would be that there's still 3 weeks of transfer window left and if he looks like the wonder kid everyone is suggesting, there's a strong chance of other clubs entering the fray.

Of course players have to go off and play internationals however why conclude the deals just prior to games when we can do it just after?

Plus your last point is irrelevant, no other team is going to pay approx 25mil for a teenager within the current market.

other clubs do not phase me with this transfer.

1) becuase of balotellis reputation
2) becuase we have the mancini factor.

 

[not my fault!]

I have no doubt in my my mind this is already sorted with contracts signed, the lot! Why delay it...? I don't know but I don't think there is any reason to worry about other teams. Don't forget all sides were very vocal until last Monday (when talks were supposed to continue), then all of a sudden silence other than the agent to rubbish the amounts being talked about and the player last night refuting the story about his birth parents.

[leewill31]
