Makes sense to hold off any announcement while the WC is on, if we have agreed a deal on a BIG player, then they probably don't want countless questions as to why they signed up to the 'project'.
On a side issue, I think it's wonderful how the big teams of Europe now have to take us into account prior to their undertaking own transfer dealings. Whether its player's agents mentioning our name to get their player a better contract, or clubs just waiting for us to turn on the money tap so they can do their deals....and all this before we are a permanent fixture in the CL. Love it!
