Between Vlad maybe flying tonight or Monday, and Soldado flying anywhere on Thursday, could be either one to me.

:ROFLMAO:

Mate relax!!!

They're so desperate its unreal...I actually burst out laughing when I read that!! Their president has been on the phone to a radio station to inform everybody!!!

He wasn't just talking about soldado. He was talking about their plans for the future as I think something about their finances or stadium was being discussed. Can't be bothered translating it all

Yer agree mate still thinking soldado thou :) mite be wishful thinking it is him not Vlad thou :(

Seems to be unlikely that Vlad would fly tonight, though could still fly tomorrow and be here for Thursday. I'm hoping we get both though, whichever order we do it in.

I Don't get it! Why agree to pay Soldados buy out clause on Saturday then not bother contacting then again! It Really doesn't make sense to me... Surely we knew from the discussions with Valencia last week how much they wanted and how they wanted it to be paid I.e 2 instalments.

First time I'm getting a bit nervy about this. It seems to be a stand off whereas we're demanding over 4 years and they want 2 years. Levy obviously smells blood with their financial crisis and isn't caving in.

I can see it now, half an our before they set of for USA and Salvo rings up Levy offering him Soldado on his terms. Levy declines and hangs up the phone. He rings back 10 minutes before they go and tries to nab a couple million off the price.

Seriously though, get this done. At this rate we'll be signing Vlad before him.

That fran guaita guy just said soldados is in the 24 man squad to travel to USA.

In my opinion im still confident but time is certainly running out.

Tomorrow is basically the day we find out i think.

Anyone else find the info saying everything is agreed bar a few formalities a little oxymoronical, everything is agreed, apart from the bits that aren't agreed...

He'll be in America having to fly back, jet lagged, tired, prob the night before Palace game. Honestly Levy just seal the bloody deal. Can't be arsed with another poor start due to sloppiness in the boardroom.

Ok fair enough. But still, they're the ones who are constantly mentioning it. They need the money, I'm sure we'll wrap this up soon.

I think the issue is, if we have to pay the fee in 2 installments, say 15m now and 15m next season, due to FFP coming in that 15m would come out of next seasons budget which will be much tighter.
I think it is just a game of devil's advocate going on and we are waiting to see who will blink first.
