I'd be surprised if the proposed £7m fee doesn't dwindle away the closer we get to the window closing, as it appears interest is equally dwindling.
Barring an injury crisis, it's going to be very unlikely for Joe to get a game at Citeh after tonight's last hurrah in a tie they're already winning 5-0.
So it'll be in both theirs and his interest to get a deal done, otherwise he'll sink into the Right Wright abyss until at least the January window.
From all accounts, he's not overly keen of going abroad which all but discounts the early Sevilla and Dortmund who wanted to sign him.
Our interest has waned because of the outrageous demands and I doubt the likes of Sunderland are going to fork out that much either.
Citeh may then either they drop the fee significantly or in its entirety or agree to cover some of his wage, perhaps a bit of both, and we'll move.
