So in summary
We.ve had millions in our bank accounts since last sunday.
The club has not made a single official bid for any player.
The PL season kicks off tommorow.
Another day closer to Bill putting the money under lock and key for safe keeping like.
Rodwell deal took two weeks. Something he said himself. So, if we'd heard about it when it actually started the silence would have been for two weeks. They negotiated until they came to an agreement. It's not football manager, they don't just bid and accept. They also don't have to tell people they've bid/had a bid recieved. That wouldn't be in OUR interest at all, surely.
If Everton are going for this, they will be discussing terms (not just the fee) and that takes time, even if it's a straight forward deal, fee-wise. No one ever hears what goes on in these discussions and rightly so. They don't have some fella leaking info to twitter "ITK's" while this is going on. It's confidential. Something may come of it (DM was confident of this by the sounds of him) and yet, it may stall/fail. Arsenal may bid, they may not. Hell, we may not even be discussing it anymore. But I'd expect it to come out if the negots did fall through.
Either way, we'll hear about it when it's concluded. Just because it's quiet does not mean it's off.
