Day 1
MH: "Garry, I'd like to sign <insert name>. He's probably the best player in his position in the world."

GC: "Let me make a call"
.....2mins later "As luck would have it, Mark, the player, his agent and manager were just passing CoMS and have pulled in for a chat."

MH: "Great!"

1 hour later....

GC: "Mark, it's all sorted. They accepted our first offer and the player was happy with our initial terms.....we didn't have any negotiations whatsoever. We dug out the old contract we had for Nigel Gleghorn and just tippexed out his signature for the new lad to write over."

MH: "Super!"

GC: "The lad doesn't even need to nip home or back to his club as he always carries his worldly belongings with him wherever he goes."

MH: "Grrreat!".

GC: "Bernard has been on the internet and transfered the money from Khaldoon's Co-op account to the other club.....who would've thought that £20m wouldn't need any checks or anything...amazing this internet thing." I'll speak the press and call the 4pm conference for tomorrow.

MH: "Super!"

GC: "I didn't get where I was today by being a realist, Mark."

MH: "No, GC."

Day 2, 4pm

GC: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Sunshine Desserts....er....I mean Carrington and please welcome Manchester City's latest signing.......<insert name of choice>"

and that's how it's done according to a lot of folks on here.

Did that conversation take place in the four months we had to prepare for the window?

I think it was when Hughes flew out to discuss his transfer target with the owners a couple of months back.
 
That's not how it works at all. Here is what actually happens:

MH: Sam? Hi, it's Hughsey here. Listen, I want Roque and I'll give you 18m for him.

SA: 18 mill? You're minted you are! Make it 20 mill, and bung me another 500k on top and you've got a deal.

MH: Oooh, I don't know about that. This transfer business is a bit complicated isn't it? I'd better think about it for a couple of weeks...

(later)

MH: Hello, Manchester City FC, Mark Hughes speaking.

GF: Eh Hughesy, Gianfranco 'ere. You want Parker and Bellamy or what, eh?

MH: Oooh, I don't know, I can't decide if I want both of them or just the one. Can I ring you back in a couple of weeks?

GF: OK, is your problem if they go to Real Madrid though!

MH: Ooooh, I don't know what to do...


And THAT'S why nothing's happening.
