Concrete Ron deal done

[VILLA MOLE]

Now, if we can just shift Dunne.

You got a forklift?

I've got a sausage roll on a piece of string.

mmmmmm , wait there not for me dam it

[DrGonzo]

Panic not, apparently there is no hold up, it's just that they can't get Ron to stop bench pressing Richard Dunne.

I'm wondering if we might be holding on so that we can announce 2 signings at once...  Am I getting over optimistic?

Given he had a lot of injuries a few years back maybe they're taking extra care with the medical.  Would be fairly sensible in this situation i'd think.

Haaaah.

Yes.

[The Left Side]

Has he officially been announced, ITSABH?

[Chipsticks]

Sky Sports have announced that Collins is currently having his medical, so I guess we're waiting until he's gone to do the deal. That's probably not news to anyone though.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Why would we wait? Surely we wouldn't have agreed terms if we were waiting to sell Collins?

Maybe they just want to announce the two deals at the same time.

I'd assume that agreeing personal terms is just before giving the final nod on the deal. So, we sell Collins, and then put it through or what have you.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Just would like to see it confirmed

[Chipsticks]

Same here. It's certainly dragging on, especially considering a few people were saying 'announcement expected monday morning'

[Toronto Villa]

I don't think that the two deals have anything to do with each other in terms of timing. I have every confidence that the Vlaar deal is being completed. They've already agreed all of the terms. Maybe something in the medical procedure is slower than it should be and is holding things up, so barring something bizarre it will be done and dusted soon enough. The way I look at it is no news is good news where Villa are concerned.

The hold up is Villa arranging insurance cover post medical. With his history it's not proving to be straight forward.

Is this for real or is this a funny?
