Like I said this morning - I think the bit that is pissing us all off is the silence from the club - If we haven't made a bid, then surely they would say so - If we have and it's been rejected by Barca or Eto'o in the first instance, then surely they would say so - which can only mean we have made a bid and it's been accepted by both parties.
But either there are no issues at all or if there are, then we must feel they are not too big to get them out of the way. And if they are too big then surely we would say so - unless this is anaother Kaka fiasco in the making and we will be made to look mugs again.
But let's understand one thing Cook and co know what the whole world is saying, so surely it's getting a little late in the day now to say we've cocked up again - I think that this deal is still very doable, because if it goes wrong I can see Cook getting his balls chopped off as well as his hands.
The silence at City whilst other clubs and the players play their silly games is admirable and shows the professional attitude that will, in the long term, lead this club to the place where we all want to be.
It is interesting that Sky Sports News have suddenly gone very quiet on the matter, and my opinion (and i'm not ITK, but a business man) is that City are calling the shots with the press and giving them very little, and telling them when to go quiet to assist us in return for the news when it happens. This is building up a mutual trust and respect...except for The Mirror which is still constantly clutching at straws and therefore receiving no truth from the club.
