Anyone in involved in negotiating complex deals will know that deadlines can come and go with regularity. You can get to a stage where you think you have agreement and then a curve ball comes in that no one had foreseen (in a football context think third party image rights, payment terms, agents fees, loyalty bonuses etc) it's perfectly feasible that a deal had been agreed in principle last Friday only for a last minute hitch to occur. It's usual that the 'actual' deadline is what will drive everyone to reach agreement as that is the point of no return. I think it's clear that this deal is in place it's just overcoming last minute negotiations so I expect the deal to be concluded on deadline day.

I hope that Goal piece now makes people realise that the ITKs on here are passing genuine information on. It pretty well supports their arguments.
Plus the double ITKs on here yesterday suggesting 3 days = Friday. Well, if that is when KDB is next due to play and as Goal suggest he is in a really bad way and looks likely to tell Wolfsburg he is not really up to playing, that matches Friday in effect being D day when Wolfsburg have to decide if they go with the offer or force an unhappy player to play on.
Allofs not talking this morning suggests he might be finally realising that they cannot just keep stringing this out if it is seriously affecting their player.

An interesting thing about the new Goal.com article is that it says they expected the deal to be concluded last Friday, same time Tolmie also said it'd be concluded. Wolfsburg is obviously messing around to nobody but their own amusement.
They're just lining up replacements. I don't think we are worried about KDB coming last friday or on deadline day as long as he arrives. If Wolfsburg's condition for selling is to keep him for a few more days so they can sign replacements before the money arrives, why would we care?
It's not ideal, and a difficult time for the player, but as far as we're concerned, it's not a problem as long as he arrives on september 3rd.

?? Sorry maybe I`m being thick but I`m not really certain what you mean by that.I'm not talking us mate
Fair point but I didn't mean it that way I just worded it differently. What I was trying to say was if he did want to come he'd do whatever it takes. Look at sterling. He clearly wanted to leave hence why he didn't go training etc. Look at stones. Recently he's just handed in a transfer request.
In life you have to do what you have to do...
Look at KDB's last two games, he didn't even try. If that's not saying let me go, I don't know what is. About what further happens behind the screens, nobody knows. Remember when this saga started and he said I'm not allowed to comment? Maybe Allofs had told him "You want your transfer, fine. But you keep calm about it". As far as I understand, a transfer request doesn't give any legal adavantages. You're just letting it publicly be known that you want to leave. So what's stopping Allofs from pulling the plug on this deal if he does. He seems spiteful enough. Obviously I'm just guessing here, but it is worth to keep in mind that there may be a lot of things going on that we don't know about. So those that seem to condemn KDB for not trying, please.
Also, slightly off topic, a somwhat interesting article about transfer requests.

Have you heard of plan b?
I have, but that's irrelevant to this point really.

I honestly believe this deal will be completed on deadline day with minutes to spare. I think Wolfsburg are going to make us dance to their tune and only when they have exhausted every trick in the book relating to transfer dealings and face the inevitable will they let go. I think this is all to do with saving face.

The one thing this thread has shown is the power a supposed ITK can have. There are so many grown man and a lot of Kids lapping up every word that one of them says on here. It becomes like lemmings once one get a backer and gives the most cryptic of clues then another follows and all of a sudden we have a mass suicidal cult on our hands.
The highlights are when a supposed ITK comes out with player X is signing on Friday. Then Friday comes and goes and player X hasn't signed but is quickly followed by some excuse by the ITK that there was some problems but these will be rectified.
Lets be straight about this there are zero fucking ITKs just a lot of grown men edging their bets.
