This Hourihane signing is like waiting for a Commodore 64 game to load - have we reached 96% yet?

As long as the screen doesn't go blank and it reset to the boot up screen.

I think this one has reached the "pause of death". You know deep down that it isn't going to load but you keep watching the screen anyway.

Apparently the hold up is due to the fact that Barnsley's  chief executive, has just left the Club , this has complicated both deals, although Bree signed today ( at least he's ' in the shirt ' !)....according to the Head Cheese at Villa Park.
Another hiccup is that Plymouth Argyle are due a proportion of Villa's fee to Barnsley, cue more negotiotions .
Worringly, for us ...the delay could alert a number of Premier League clubs, but the ball is in Barnsley's court.............Godzvilla!

If any Prem clubs weren't aware of such a decent player being out of contract in the summer and therefore available for pennies now, they must be run along the same lines as we were under Tom the Twat.

In a way it's (pleasantly) surprising that the player isn't waiting until the summer to move when he might have more offers and stand to earn more money with the signing-on fee as a free agent.
Let's be honest, it's going to be a lot more fun playing for high-flying, over-achieving Barnsley for the next few months than for our sorry bunch of misfits.

Can everyone keep still and keep your mobile phones away from the cassette player.

Or perhaps they are not interested in a player who was released by Ipswich without ever playing a first team game, spent most of his career at League 2 Plymouth, and despite playing for Repub Ireland U19 and U12, has not been called up for the first team.

I just wish we could get this transfer over the line before anybody steals him from us.

Agreed, he's crap. Let's move on to more proven targets.

I'm assuming that the reason James Bree hasn't been formally unveiled - despite the pictures all over twitter of him in the shirt - is because the club want to do them as a pair - probably tomorrow at BMH. I will continue to take comfort from this and assume the transfer is going ahead until I get home tonight and see Bree announced, at which time I shall conclude this one might be getting away.

Why would not having a CEO hinder the cH deal but not the one for Bree?
