To be fair, i think we have cause to panic when a shareholder says its unlikely to happen. Someone lcab, put me out of my misery.
Because if the rumours are true then they've discovered some medical issues. It seems not too dissimilar to Demba Ba, he may be fully fit now but the discovery of such an issue could lead to the fee being seen as unacceptable to the buying club.
For example, Everton might want appearance based clauses written in for payments.
The above is JUST an example, it's nothing based on fact. I wouldn't jump all over Bill for this at the moment.
This is stupid. A fee is agreed so why on earth their club will agree to change the original deal? Never get one thing right, FFS Bill.
People are just being ridiculous now. Calm the f down. Fee agreed, medical today, confirmed tomorrow, presented at half time on goodison v wba.
Kenwright: " We will give you £8,6M for him!"
FC Twente: " Great, we accept!"
Kenwrights: " Good for you. We will give you £100K every month for the next 86 months. "

West ham's best player isn't exactly Barca's best player and if chelsea and arsenal were interested then why didn't they pick him up when he was free in the summer?
Because they're not, because he's not all that. Wigan and West Ham isn't exactly the CV of a man in demand.
Diame had one good 45 minutes this season against Chelsea (I think).
When has he played as well as that?
He hasn't.
Okay, would Wigan's best player be on the radar of Utd? Because that happened, how about Crewe's best player? That happened. Walcott & Oxlade from Southampton to Arsenal? How about Moses to Chelsea? Just because they play for 'lower' sides than the big boys doesn't mean they aren't good players.
Diame is brilliant, and will end up at a 'big club'. You obviously haven't watched alot of him, but you're entitled to your opinion.

vs Arsenal at Upton Park - scored a cracking goal too.
