The Prophet Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 1 minute ago, TRon said: He also said it was a done deal, that's turned out to have been jumping the gun. If he's friends with the Watford owners, they've done him no favours there if they've gone back on that to try and get a few extra quid by dragging Everton in. It could be. For a journalist who's as reliable as he is, it was telling that he doubled down after the contradictory reports came out. I'm not saying that he's definetly correct for what it's worth, he does get stuff wrong. Just that it's few and far between. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems odd that this one was contradicted when you would have thought with his Watford connections this would be the most iron clad. Just seems like something odd is going on here, and I doubt it's from our side. I still think it will get done, just someone is playing games from the Watford end by the looks of it.

Aye, it'll either be that or we've played it down to the locals to avoid another public Ekitike situation where everything is agreed with the club, but not the agent or the player.

Waiting to see the extent of Wilson’s issue. He wasn't right. He said "here we go" 2 days ago and no sign of a medical or anything. Instead we've since had Hope, Burt, Edwards, Ryder, Mark Douglas, Sky, Waugh, the Watford correspondent at the Athletic and our own manager all say a deal hasn't been agreed. The excuses being made for Romano are ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't automatically set off an arbitrary timer and when it expires it means he was wrong. It just means we can consider it done and the official confirmation is pending. As has been mentioned just as one example, he confirmed Cucarella and Brighton outright denied it. 2 days later it was officially done.

Dokko Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Tap in merchant jumped the gun, Edwards was right. Let's move on. More worried how it's gone cold since the news Everton are interested. Toe to toe I'm not worried but I do think if Watford have accepted and have upped the price or moved the goalposts we'll tell them to do one. Think Evertons interest relies on the sale of Gordon as well, so strung out till the end of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could still fall through (did it happen with Malacia?) as he posts it before everything is fully signed, but looking at his record it’s extremely rare.

Brighton denied it because at the point he let out his catchphrase nothing had been agreed between Chelsea and Brighton. Chelsea upped their offer by 10m which got the deal agreed. There is zero chance Brighton would've released their statement if at that point in time the deal had been agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Jesus Christ None of that matters.

KaKa Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It's really alarming how rattled people get about transfers man. If someone says something is done they never want to believe it and start getting nervous about it not panning out. But if it's bad news oh how they embrace it and start on about the owners not knowing how to bid or some other nonsense. Such a horrible nervous fearful disposition man.
