If it was all being done behind the scenes as Villa like to do it wouldn't put so much pressure on getting things done. That said the player has made his feelings known and I'm sure that it will all get sorted out soon.It isn't anything to do with that, though. It is Feyenoord grumbling about how long it's taking, not a fan. They'll have known the state of affairs regardless of someone snapping Vlaar.It makes it a lot more awkward for the Feyenoord now that everyone knows about this. Their fans will be very disappointed that their club have allowed their captain to leave. Now they are having to play some damage control. There is a consequence to this being "found out" so to speak so now they want the deal settled quickly so they can move on. Had everything been kept under wraps it would have been one of those 48 hour deals where all the behind the scenes stuff has been done already and fans only found when essentially it is done and dusted. And what if, like OGS, this doesn't happen? We all thought Solskjær was coming based on the things he said. Villa said all along that they were just looking at options. It will difficult for Feyenoord and their fans to welcome the player back because the player has proclaimed his desire to leave and inevitably there will be amongst us with daggers for the club/Faulkner because he didn't complete the deal.Except it wouldn't have avtually been a 48 hours deal would it? In fact I'd be amazed if any deal ever started and concluded that quickly any more.I really don't think it is anything to do with the deal being found out - they'd probably want the uncertainty settled in any case, it must be unsettling, you can understand that.We'd probably know about it anyway, even without the pics. Lots of deals get leaked to the press in any case, they do get some of them right.If knowledge of his presence here was going to cause problems, I doubt Lambert would have shown him the ground while a tour party was going around. There's no reason for anyone to stick the boot into the CEO on this, if we really wanted him or were concerned it would fall through, we'd do something about it, but likewise, there's no reason to see the fan in question having done anything wrong or blown anything, either.

This is the typical story of a protracted transfer saga. It gets out, the player flutters his eyelashes at the prospective club, it then goes quiet, player pledges to focus on current club and then lastly, in most cases the player moves.
I guess we are not prepared to pay the price Koeman is after and gap is too big.
