They can make him an offer all they want - it means nothing unless they trigger his release clause with Bournemouth.

It's done.
@CareyPaton: [MENTION=17223]Neil[/MENTION]perrettecho Brighton chairman is therefore in the future and should be able to tell us when it will all get finalised.
[MENTION=17223]Neil[/MENTION]perrettecho: @CareyPaton He has but we're 10 hours behind. News should break around 10am tomorrow.

If he wrote that on Twitter, he's just deleted it.

Still there for me.

Ah, you deleted the 'Are you working then?' bit off the end of the tweet. Hence me not finding it.

What's done? And whatever it is that's done, where is the confirmation?

1) The transfer.
2) He tweeted saying transfer was delayed because Bloom is in Australia and there is a time difference. Somebody then replied saying he's from the future and can finalise it. The reporter then replied saying he has and it will be announced in the morning.
Well, that's what I make of it anyway.

Same here, makes sense as announcing a transfer late in the day isnt brilliant. 10AM tomorrow seems about right.
I followed the tweets you linked to, and saw the bit about it being delayed because Bloom is in Aus. I read that to mean it's been delayed, not that it's been completed

It was the conversation after the delayed tweet which suggests it's completed.

Yeah sounds about right. Except when Roland Bergkamp was announced at 2 in the morning a few years ago!
Thanks. What did the deleted tweet say?
I read the Echo Reporter's (Neil Perrett) tweet:
"Reason for delay over Lewis Grabban to #bhafc move is because Brighton chairman is in Australia and there's a 10-hour time difference. #afcb"

No tweets have been deleted. This was the conversation that suggests it's done:

Neil Perrett is completely playing down Grabban's quality:
"He has flourished under Eddie Howe. If another manager is prepared to give him as much time, he will do well." - well obviously it's difficult to give him as much time in a chase for the premiership.and responding to:
"Bournemouths best or most affective player? Or one if them?"
"It's a team, as you would have seen at the Amex. Grabban's goals have come from the team." - so we're buying a load of nothing then

Sounds about right!
Thanks for the explanation. I'm not totally convinced, but are you reading that to mean:
It took longer than normal to sign, because he's in Aus and they waited for him to wake up, but it's been signed now, and will be announced at a sensible time (morning, not night)?

Yep. Took the 'he has' bit as the crucial part.
