Look we all know how long these things take
1. First we have to "admire" a player
2. Then the players club has to try and do something to "ward off the interest"
3. Then the player club has to "ready" themselves for a bid
4. We then have to "explore the option"
5. Then competing clubs have to start "Circling"
6. Then the player in question has to be "Open to the idea" of the move
7. Then the players club has to be "braced" for bids
8. Then we have to make an "official" bid
9. Then another Club has to try and "torpedo" it
10. Then he has to travel for the medical
11. Then we have to do some stupid social media video
12. Then they have to actually join
13. Then they have to get injured

Thats a lot to fit into a month - so patience is needed

Between 7 and 8 we have to prepare the bid, a significant undertaking in itself. What font will you use, font size, will you center the text so on and so forth.

And all this from a sizeable war chest before the window slams shut (I'm sure all those commentators are on a cliche bonus)

On  a serious note I am a tad concerned that with only 4 days left we are either playing another blinder or are risking shitting all over the progress and momentum we have at present.

Come on Villa surprise us please

Morocco’s World Cup star Azzedine Ounahi is on the verge of joining OM on permanent deal, confirmed! Deal now at final stages for €10m fee 🚨⚪️🔵 #OM

Understand there’s full agreement with Angers — talks ongoing on personal terms to get it done.

First call

.

My gut feeling is that they were getting a replacement before Guendozi allowed to come to us.

He would basically be a like-for-like replacement. So that's a positive sign.

Yep, and we'd be far stronger for it. That would leave us needing more cover up front....

Double win, frees up Guendouzi and Ounahi doesn't end up at Leeds or the like.

Give it a couple of years and we'll probably be trying to buy Ounahi.

Although we prob need a forward most, Guendouzi is the link I've been most excited about this window, so very much hope that Ounahi deal frees it up.

Along with Marseille getting their midfielder, OL are set to sign forward Wilson Isidor from Lokomotiv Moscow. So does that mean that we’ve just been classy about this and patient allowing those teams to get their players and we will announce Guendouzi and Dembele over the weekend? Or I am just naive and going to be hurt being this optimistic?

13. Then they have to get injured

Thats a lot to fit into a month - so patience is needed

Point 13 happens far too often.
