[Keeper!]

Must be waiting for the bank loan to be authorised..

Cash only, something very dodgy about these new owners and the valuation

Yeah don’t think they’ve spent a penny yet on anyone even though Sterling deal all agreed medical been done! Surely the deal be finalised today?

This should have been done and dusted ages ago. Smacks me as amateur night from Chelsea.

Could be PR stuff interviews etc. Still no reason why that should hold City up unless we have agreed with Chelsea not to say.

The time between a player moving Clubs and being officially confirmed does seem to be getting longer these days. To the extent that some of the excitement gets lost. By the time they’re presented it’s like “I thought we had already seen you“

Fingers and legs crossed ;)

Chelsea now have about 7 times the money Abrahamovich has. They're backed by clearlake capital amongst others. My bet is they're trying to finalise Ake at the same time.

He's likely doing a 'goodbye' interview with our media team and then more media with the Chelsea lot too. Probably takes longer to mess about with media/announcements than it does getting a player signed these days!

That doesn't mean they can spend 7 times what Abrahamovich did or that Silverlake will put a lot of cash in.

That's Raz. Can't even finish a medical.
