Dead right.

Its like not one of them gives a toss about putting the kit on. There's no sparks. Not 1 speck of urgency.

You might understand the odd lazy git or a dose of couldntgiveashititus but its all of them

And for Eden to say he was happy with his performance that puts the icing on the cake. Needs to raise his standards me thinks.

Even if the club get this deal done today and signed off, I have a feeling that they may not announce it until tomorrow or if they do, it will be far later on.

It feels it would be insensitive to do so at the moment with everything going on regarding Cardiff's Emiliano Sala.

Barcelona just signed Boateng. Before that they signed Vidal, and freaking Paulinho. Ok, Boa is for a backup, but Vidal and Paulinho are not so much. At least Vidal wasn't meant to be.

Those are all low-risk businesses for positions they must cover, when clear option is not available or is too expensive... and some are complaining about Gonzalo Higuain.

I was striving for those kind of deals for years. I am tired of overthinking every f**ing team position and then ending up with likes of Morata, when we could've gotten Džeko for example for short term at low cost, and buy Icardi when the time is right. We are putting our heads through the wall with perfect signings, when sometimes we actually just need good or very good ones.

Really can't wait for it to be official.

If that were us the meltdown over KPB and Paulinho here would have been endless. Those are the signings no one wants here and rightly so. KPB is a decent player but absolutely no fit for Barca whilst Paulinho turned out good but was no way low risk, he was expensive, flopped at the only to pclub he played before, was well over his peak from the look of it and came froma non-competitive league. To splash out 100m for a world class player is waht we should learn from Barcelona's transfe rpolicy.

I misjudged those players then. But still I would like us to find smarter solutions when it's clear we cannot get our first priority.

Man, what is the hold up here? This feels like the longest I've ever seen between every reputable reporter saying "done deal" and it actually being announced. 

[Ledg 639]

There's still no movement between Milan and Genoa for Piatek. Until that transfer's resolved, they won't let him go.

[1chelsea 864]

So are we saying as a club we don't have any profile that meet higuain profile apart from his age. Why all this waste of time

Can't we just buy that Piatek guy and loan him to Milan for couple seasons. Get this saga over with

[BMox81 193]

Piatek is still in Genoa so Higgy isn’t signing tomorrow folks.

[Special Juan 27,103]

Usain Bolt has just retired from football, maybe we should get him.

[Special Juan 27,103]

For Piatek we are now at the details, the Polish striker tomorrow should support medical visits

[Fernando 6,376]

More then likely to be signed at the last day. 

As always with our club that drags everything to the last day. 

Can't expect them to finish something in proper time.

#Piatek al @acmilan: Document exchange in progress, 35 million in one solution, no compensatory measures @GenoaCFC #calciomercato @SkySport

Piatek in Milan, it's closed! 35m cash, no consideration in the deal. Exchange of documents in progress! Via @SkySport

 I know that's always the case with us but not this time.  

It's Milan's deal with Genoa for Piatek that is causing the delay here. That needs to happen first before we get Higuain and then allow Morata to go to Atletico.

[Special Juan 27,103]

Surely that's it now and the trigger happens. The medicals for Piatek had apparently been done and the paperwork already signed, just presentation left.
