Problem for us is that we will have a different deadline to Middlesbrough. Ours is the Korea tour and because he wasn't even there last season theirs is basically enough time to spend the money before the season starts, the close of the window or maybe not even then...

We need to make it clear that the size of the offer is contingent on this being completed in the next 48 hours. After that it will be £5m less

If the deal is not done in the next 48 hours then we move on to the next option

Sure that Paratici has this in hand of course :)

They would be crazy if they don’t take the offer. Don’t think they will get the same money from anyone else. Probably just chancing it.

Im not sure it needs to be completed right away. No guarantee that he gets in front of Doc or Emerson if he’s still with us.

Forest close to signing Neco Williams From Liverpool now aswell, so that’s 2 full backs for them this week.

Spence is coming here 100%

Why is Gibson a knob for protecting his club. Credit to him.

I'd usually agree but the fee wanted is unrealistic, they already have a very good right wing back in Jones, the player has no interest in being there and Wilder has publicly stated he wants it resolved quickly, as it probably affects his transfer dealings with that money coming in.

So Gibson is actually doing the opposite and being greedy.

Some other names that have come out in the press are Clauss from Lens (29 y/o late bloomer with incredible stats), Dodo from Shakhtar and Maehle from Atalanta. I'm sure there are plenty of others under the radar too.
Problem is I'm sure they are very good, it was a great opportunity to bring in a HG player. I know we will find a way around that but if we keep buying from abroad we will have some issues eventually

He’s not protecting his club though.
He is taking the piss with us. The key point here is that if he had set a price and Spence could go if it was met that’s ok and it’s protecting his club. The fact he thinks he can get a massive CL tax out of us etc isn’t on really

I have no idea where Gibson goes with this. He has a player who wants to leave, they don't want and nobody else is paying more than what we've offered. I think I tend to agree with the Boro itk saying he's going to sign this week. Him appearing for pre season is just to show how he fought hard for his fee. It will just be spun that Gibson got the fee he wanted but it will be the fee that was already on the table.

Some see protecting the club all i see is dick measuring.*

I'm sure if Levy threw in a "I took on Daniel Levy and won" T-Shirt. that would conclude the deal.
Just like Jeremy Peace, he seems more interested in being seen to be coming out on top in a negotiation with Levy, what other possible reason can there be to change the price?



*and yes i have been to the optician about it...
