hello, I take it as done when mcrjon says its done,spurs have most probably said hang fire with the announcements for whatever reason,i think mcrjon has something to do with the transfers,medicals(cant remember) but he is pretty much spot on 100%I never take it in the literal sense mate....when I read the words "its done" I get the feeling the player might have told us he wants to come and we've come to some sort of an agreement on parameters of personal terms with that player but still need to agree fee with their club. If we went back to the Laporte thread, I'm sure we were told many times "its done" but we all know how that ended. Until its signed and officially confirmed by the club anything can happen. I agree its "likely" Walker signs with us but unless he's put pen to paper I not going to get a tattoo just yet!;)
walkers deal has been done.a well known poster(mcrjon) posted about a week or so ago and if he said its done,its done.
Saw this and thought of this thread!
Get with the programme. It's a chance of approach...
Some of the clues with respect to transfers Pep's left us from his pressers/interviews:
Apart from point 5, which admittedly has no quick fix, which other ones do y'all think we've made a concerted effort (at least from media rumblings) to address and with which players (either purchased, or still linked)?
- Not enough killer instinct in the team to convert the innumerable chances created. Missing Jesus, and Sterling/Silva/Kdb not scoring enough
- Strikers not being tall enough so as to allow another dimension to our attack through crossing/heading,
- Our fullbacks too old and can't be asked to run up and down all game. Praising Monaco's fullbacks for 'bombarding' and 'arriving' all at the right time in attack. Praising Walker/Rose as the best full-back pairing in PL,
- Not being able to control second balls,
- Not having too many players with personality, like Yaya, in the team,
- Missing Kompany a lot in the season.
Also, am I missing anything that Pep has raised as a concern?
anyone fancy dani alves as our backup right back next year?
Back up? I love Walker, and think he'd be an unbelievable addition to the squad. But if we sign Alves, Alves will end up playing as many games. He might be old but he's still absolutely world class!
