No it’s being a football fan of a club and being too close to the action that time seems to go slower. Like staring at a clock. I’m sure there is an average time or a time range by which deals generally get done. We fall in there somewhere.

Medical Tuesday and still no announcement 48 hrs later doesn’t sound too good. Should put our energy into people wanting to be in the villa family

I don't know why, but that reminded me of the old Dave Allen joke..."We spend our lives on the run: we get up by the clock, eat and sleep by the clock, get up again, go to work - and then we retire. And what do they give us? A bloody clock." :)

Not too bothered if we don't get him on loan. Got more pressing areas to address.

Fella on FB says he has been given 48 hours to make his mind up

He prefers us but Boro are willing to pay higher wages apparently

Pulis said the location was a problem, so I can't see him going to the North East.

If that's his sole concern, we're better off without.

Is this fella Gregg Evans? ( Bolasie signs according to Evans)
Or another fella
I mean who is this fella you're quoting ? Could be anyone you know or don't please say some more on fella
 

Unless it's Evans claiming otherwise then I feel yannick is coming

I mean yannick was at match so think it's formalities.
Relatively as maybe money wage factor to be sorted
More his advisors than the player
I just think it's patience on this one .

Surely a player going on loan still gets the same wages. The only issue is the split of who's paying them?

Pulis was just on local news and seems fairly certain he’s heading to Villa. He continues to talk about us.

It does seem strange that an announcement was not made today.

You never know, there could be more to this than meets the eye. It wouldn't suprise me if the hold up is Everton wanting the deal to be a loan with an agreement in place for us to buy at the end of the season if we go up.

I won’t be too bothered if the Bolasie deal falls through to be honest. I’m not particularly excited about it for a number of reasons.
