I doubt that this is all that different than the Lowton or El Ahmadi transfers actually, just that the lucky break of that photo being taken put it out there earlier.  Had it not been for that, I'd imagine the press would not have got wind of it until much nearer the conclusion, as they did with the last two deals.

It probably makes a bit of difference as well that everyone's in the US. I wonder who's in charge of Villa Park this week?

Schmoozing potential sponsors etc. I would imagine. Plus being within easy reach of PL makes it a bit easier to formulate plans on signings and that.

Funny isn't it. Just a few months ago our friend Mr Nursey would have been drawing out his 'sell to buy' line in relation to this but now we're 'trading carefully'.

I wish we could just get this deal done A.S.A.P.
It seems a little careless to just leave it hanging while we are in the U.S.of A.
