Sounds a bit like our village cafe, who closes for lunch.
[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

I'd imagine it's highly unlikely a business with a turnover of 150m have reliance on a single individual to complete transactions.

It's a good job I found it unbelievable, then................We haven't sold him
He's supposedly off on loan to Brescia, and they have an OPTION to buy him at that price. Doesn't mean that they will. In fact, I'd be very surprised if Brescia even HAVE €4m.

You may be right, though in a business I worked in we had to have the VP in the office on the final day of each financial quarter as only he could countersign order documents.

Agreed - there is no chance the albion shuts down transfer business while Barber swans off on holiday.

And he does have a mobile phone, so I'm led to believe.

I'm chilled with this.
We'll sign 'the numbers we need' (copyright, Chris Hughton) before the deadline. And I won't have heard of any of the players, so why worry about it or attempt to search them out?

Blimey, maybe that's why palace's accounts were late, they were waiting for the FIFA cheque to appear.
I think 'Where's Winstano' has a tough time on holiday.
He spends the first 2 weeks sure there was something he should have done before leaving.
The next 2 weeks relaxing.
Then the nagging doubts creep back in.
Only when he returns to his desk does he remember he should have singed 6 players by now.
Still at least he'll have till the end of August, as usual
He bloody won't, 17:00 on August 9th it SLAMS shut.
I know that.
You know that.
But someone really ought to tell the fella attempting to look round corners.
Was hoping he'd be reading this from his sunbed/canalboat or whatever. May need to be more direct
No I think he likes to go on a 'communing with nature', retreat.Was hoping he'd be reading this from his sunbed/canalboat or whatever. May need to be more direct
The kind of place where you leave all modern technology in a box at the gate, then roll about in mud for a couple of weeks.
Each to their own.

"It closes when...?"
I've found him, I know 'where is Winstano':-

Looked like he might be on the way to Le Tour ready to encourage Froomey.

So if we go with the idea that the albion want 4 more signings, then this could be :
- Moore / O'Connell etc.
- Bernardo
- Tau
- Jahanbakhsh or another winger
Presumably Krul falls outside of this 4, as he'd hardly be a new signing as such, but if he doesn't sign we'll need 1 more than 4.
We seem very keen to get a HGP central defender. Along with a HGP 2nd keeper this probably allows Baldock to move on, leaving Hemed to stay in the 25.
