None of this makes any sense. Why would Moshiri text JW "Watch this space", then not sign anyone and pull out of a £30M deal at the last minute....so as not to jeopardise Macca's place? Really?
Either the texts are fake and JW along with everyone else has been totally done, or maybe he's had too many cocktails at Casino Royale and was on his way home via the chippy. Either way, this is very odd.
The 'Watch this space' message sounds like a wind up as well to be honest - the exact phrase used to ridicule Kenwright over his transfer dealings after the Moutinho debacle. Also after months of seeming like very much a background figure who has rarely communicated with the fans, he suddenly starts messaging Jim White on Sky instead of using intermediaries as he would have done previously? Doesn't ring true to me.
