On a serious note, it should close about a couple of weeks before the season starts. Ridiculous to not know who your team is going to be by this stage. 

100% agree. I'm against transfer windows altogether, but if they're going to exist, having them end weeks into a new season is totally stupid and unnecessary.

Guess this is an indication of progress

From a similar piece from Sami Mokbel:

 

"Progress has been made on his protracted move to St James’ Park amid hope a breakthrough can be found by the start of next week."

Protracted? Its been a few days

Time makes no sense in transfer window world.

Again, positive it's gone quiet again.

 

You usually have loads of nonsense filling the void by now.

Aye I think we’d be hearing that a deal is on the rocks due to valuations etc by now.  This is going to potentially be a record deal so it will be payments schedules, agents fees, legal stuff now

[WilliamPS]

The clubs were in talks before the first offer went in, so I imagine the offer was in the ballpark, or why bother making it. If those initial talks had been miles apart they’d have moved onto other targets.
 

My guess is there’s some back and forth. “We want more upfront” rather than a straight “no” with the revised offer to be more of a “How about £x more upfront plus £y after 50 appearances” etc etc, but it’s close.

Watched Downies YouTube, he claimed Newcastle were the only serious negotiators, and remain calm as he thought it would happen.

Palace take their time. It was the same with Bayern closing the Olise deal, even though there was a release clause.

 

Apparently the way they structure contracts, there's certain protocols that need to be followed when trying to sign their players.

 

No news is good news. Even regarding other clubs possibly being interested and coming in, they'd have to go through the same process, and we are much further down the line already.

What’s so special about Palace’s protocols that means clubs have to take their time signing their players?

Expensive and slow lawyers with the paperwork.

There were various reports touching on it. Can't remember where I read them all now. Article below touched on one of the things that held it up with Bayern.

That seems to be surrounding a release clause which Guehi doesn’t have. End of the day it’s just a tiny club trying to protect itself. Also thinking some of the delay is being caused by Palace wanting a replacement 100% confirmed before PL KO.

[Unbelievable]

Tiny club? Condescending much mate?

[Checko]

I'm pretty sure that maybe we could sign Guehi, or possibly there's a chance we might not. Either way that's probably good enough for me.

I think Palace are good at protecting their assets and getting good value for them, which is well within their rights.

 

I actually think this deal gets done eventually, but it will just take some time. That was the point I was making.

 

A player with a release clause should be more straightforward, and that deal wasn't. And so I'd expect, one without a release clause might be even more tedious.

 

Also, if it's annoying when the likes of Man Utd fans talk down on Newcastle, why do it to clubs like Palace?

Fair comment on all points really.
