To expand on above, putting 'done and dusted' in quotations because I mean Truly done and dusted, as in fully agreed and everyone sits on them for a year which seems to be the assumption. It also isn't aimed at any one poster's claim, more the general concept.

I know there is interest and discussions that happen ahead, and maybe outline figures and broad indication of agreement. That happens regularly. But to call it really all done? I struggle with that. Particularly when we see most often how long into a window they go on, sometimes collapse and or change, even after supposedly having been done and dusted even as late as that morning.

Some clubs do sometimes agree deals beforehand, but they announce them straight away, sealing it and avoiding any change. Seen so many expected deals turn out completely different that I really don't think deals are ever truly fenced off a season before.

I've lost count of the amount of times on here that a trusted member of the forum has referred to a deal as being done and dusted before that player went on to either stay or join a completely different team.

It's not done until it's done, no matter what anyone else says on here.

But I'll still allow myself to get giddy because it's all part of the fun. Plus, it's nice to be in the thread before the masses of rival fans, monotonous pessimists and general shit stirrers make their way over during the transfer window.

That post omits LOTS of correct calls.

He also encouraged blues to bet on Chilwell to join city and claimed last season would be peps last (pep actually signed a new deal about a week after he claimed that and then he deleted his original post) claimed we had signed almada and aouar.

Its obvious he just scours the Internet looking at the rumours and puts together a nice “ITK” post on the forum. He has never actually called a transfer that hasn’t already been in the media unlike Tolmie who has many times called a target before we even hear about the interest in the press.

I got no problem with people seeking attention but I don’t like someone pretending to have insider knowledge and encouraging people to bet on something.

It’s a done deal to us , has been for months , we was hopeful of getting it wrapped up for this January but to keep all parties happy it’s now looking inevitable that we will have to wait till summer , the media will make a big scene of the wages he will get paid , but he’s worth every penny, plus we’ve offloaded players in the last 18 months to fund him and his wages.

That's a big U turn from your previous certainty that this was done for January.

I think the one part of this that stands out to me if real Madrid have pulled out is where else does he go? Chelsea have lukaku and Werner and Havertz, Man U have Cavani and Ronaldo. We have NO striker. It literally is a signing made for us.

People will mention PSG, but... no.

I do think United will want him. Cavani’s contract ends at the end of the season. He can’t go there
