More algebra:

I'll have  a go now that Tokyo has cracked the enigma code.

Taylor for Ayew + cash. no other deal happening.

1 definitely out (Tish? 1 very likely, 1 more than likely)

coming in one still 50/50 and more almost certainly.

So the Taylor+cash for Ayew deal is 99% done, which means there's no need for the alternative options.

The deal is done for the one outgoing player, another is very close and the other is making progress.

Of the 2 other possible deals for incoming players, one is almost done and the other hasn't made any progress and may or may not happen.

Quote
{(99%-(99%+X))+0.5%+0.5%)*1/3}+(-100%-95%-65%)+50%+95%#UTV

It's pretty much the same as last time, but with the % chance changed.

First one is almost certain 99% chance of a player exchange + cash.   Almost certainly this is the Ayew - Taylor + cash deal. 

If that falls through, there are 2 x 0.5% backups; but as the main deal is almost done, these won't happen.

Three players going out - 1 x 100% certain; 1 x 95% certain, the other 65% chance.

Two more players coming in - 1 x 50% chance; 1 x 95% chance (Bedeau?)

So a maximum of 3 in, and 4 out.

I don't know why the Tish loan would be the one that's 100%, otherwise why not include all the other deals we've done this month and just complicate the hell out of the equation?

There were previously 4 OUTS in that part of the equation; I assumed Tshibola was the one that was removed.

The 100% must be signed and sealed, but not yet announced.

That's what I would think too but it's amazing that we can get some deals so far along without anyone getting a sniff of them.

If the first part of Tony's equation is the Ayew - Taylor deal; it should really be:

(99%+X)-99%

((Taylor+cash)-Ayew).

The way he's put it suggests we're paying cash+Ayew for Taylor!

No, quite the opposite. Coming in is a player + x = cash.

But then the cash should be bracketed with Taylor, as the cash is coming in not going out.

it is isn't it (Taylor + cash) - Ayew. So we get Taylor + cash - bracketed together - and they get Ayew?

Someone delete his Twitter account can they, or at the very least get a human trained in PR and social media to do your tweets.
