I think the argument is that it was the United end that held it up not the Villa end, as they were still dealing with Wellbeck and that guy who I can't recall the name of.

much happier with loan, Keane will make him sign if he's any good

Keano is a dab hand with a car battery.

What a strange saga this one is, but I have always, always said how much I rated him. Always. Top, top, top player.
Am I the only person to think this guy is an oderous little prick? Surely wanting to play for the club is on a par with ability? He didnt and so he shouldnt. Maybe with him in the first team we may finish 13th instead of 15th. Big f'ing wow. Id rather support a team consisting of players I respect

I don't see the issue. He wanted to play for Everton, who will likely finish in the top six and where he wouldn't have to move house. So would I in his position and so would you.

Daily Mail has some details.

Villa were granted an extension by the Premier League until 1am to complete a loan move but the paperwork was not submitted until 1.15am.

Sorry but rules are rules. We'd be furious if another team was allowed to get away with breaking the rules.

Its whether the breach is considered trivial or not. I think this will be allowed.

I hope he scores a winning goal, while two yards off side [that isn't given] with his hand, in the fourth minute of only three minutes added on at the Hawthorns now.

Which makes the difference between them staying up and going down.

not as confident now, extension on their extension? Bit of a piss take even if it is just 15 mins.
Should have got it in order.

we did our best to finalise a deal that should nevee have come to this. That said, lots were upset we didn't get something done and it appears as though we tried to well past the very end. If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen but you can't blame the club for not trying.

precisely. I don't understand getting upset at his preferred destination. I can understand getting upset at him fucking us about. I'd rather he made it clear to the club that he wanted to stay in the area than creating the impression that a move to us was on. I'm surprised we went back in for him that late to be honest after all that. Maybe his agent made a begging call to the club at the death to kick it off again.

sorry it wasn't a criticism of club overall effort - if they were granted extension, they should have done it. Can't grumble if you miss it.

That guy was signed at 1.30am, we put in the paperwork at 1.15 am

I will be annoyed if he comes in and uses us to then get to Everton for the second half of the season. I hope we have got some assurances about his longer term commitment.

one would assume they'd have been in touch with the league throughout, but if it isn't granted we can't complain. That said given the liberties taken by other clubs with regard to "rules"  then I hope we get a bit of it and this goes through.
