It's Quiet - a new dawn

Maybe for us regular folk.

There is major advancement since Thursday night, although we won't be rushing on paying the wages of a couple until the month is out.

We had visitors from France this weekend.

It's been nice here in London too TH - a lot going on I understand

People keep ignoring the Qatari situation right now... No way we do any business with them whatsoever. Even the barest shred of business between Qatar and UAE could create a huge issue for both families politically. Seriously it's like the Cuban Missile crisis out there right now.

When I last flew back from Oman, which was last year so not related to this particular beef, the Sultan and the Qataris had a falling out so we had to do security all over again when we landed at Doha. They knew this would cause huge problems not worth it for either side but they didn't care, its all about throwing your weight around and saving face with these disputes. Think Economic Game of Thrones.

Also, I'm off the opinion that Paris was mentioned because Mendy is Parisian, not because a player was moving from PSG. Moscow was mentioned, not because Sanchez is Russian but because that's where he currently is. Just a theory.

You may have a point. But it is nothing like the Cuban Missile Crisis. They don't like each other but they are not on the brink of Nuclear War.

Well obviously...

My point was more they are at loggerheads and neither is willing to back down, especially not over football.

Does it ? I thought contracts finished at the end of June which is why players cant be registered until 1 st July. So even if we sign a player doesn't his contract start in July. I thought his old club would pay until the end of the month either way , they aren't paid weekly. When Ederson was announced the website said he would be a City player from July.

The English window is open. He is talking about Walker and Bertrand. If we sign them Tuesday we start paying their wages Tuesday.

Well the Cubans backed down, so...

I find it interesting that Tolmie doesn't answer questions re: Mbappé.

He did post a Hanson - Mmmbop video which most assume that we're after him. It seems he keeps it close to his chest during negotiations and will give us clues/updates when he gets them. Just enjoy it I'm sure we won't be disappointed

Cant see us getting Mbappe, he would either go to Real or stay in Monaco. I just want us to done with the full backs soon as possible because I know we going to have a longggggg summer with Arsenal and Sanchez
