Yeah its been 72 hours and no real update since. Just the same flow your talking about which is hearing Eze is keen, Savinho is keen, club are preparing new bid, City want more, Palace want 68m, etc. But nothing has changed in 72 hours.

Palace and City would definitely ratfuck us just to be clear. Move the goalposts on us or accept another bid.
I do not trust either chairman as far as I can throw him. Parrish is a Levy clone and City hates us for the Kane saga. They’d love nothing more than to screw us over if they get another bid.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Big money deals like this are very complex and can fall apart at the drop of a hat. Leaving both to the last weeks of the window is unconscionable.

Has he thanked 'Mr Marnakis' for the delivery...
I'm actually amazed that people are so confident that everything is fine! Guess they'll be the ones "MELTING" next week if ones of the deals collapse lol
Will eze phone frank up to apologise
A few years after Bale transferred to Madrid, I happened to talk to one of the (many) professionals involved in the deal.
He told me the deal had been agreed in principle between both clubs and player (and his agent) a little over 3 weeks before it was actually announced - with the 3 weeks being spent by the parties (and their professional advisors) fine tuning everything for the effects of currency movements, tax differences between UK and Spain and a 1,001 other things,
But the 'headline' financials didn't change and nor did Bale's wages post tax in Spain change - although many details necessary to complete the contract did.
So 'deals' can be agreed in principle with handshakes all round but signing a contract takes a lot more time - and the time between agreeing a deal and contracts being signed filled in the social media space by lots of fabricated stories of multiple bids etc made up by people who have no clue as to what's really going on. And that includes journalists who are never going to be told 'the deal is done' by the clubs until shortly before its announced ....... and they have column inches to fill so are all part of the 'transfer window circus'
Levy needs to build bridges IMO. The football world has moved on and interclub selling is far more prevalent than it ever has been.
I think we'll get at least one of them done but the problem is given the time in the window and who's left available we've given ourselves absolutely nowhere else to go, certainly if we want quality.
And we also spent that money before he left to keep the fees down.
We'll have others on hold.
That said, if you went to view a 2nd hand car and didn't end up buying it, there's nothing wrong with taking your time to find another one rather than buying some old shitbox on the way home.
Man, I’m not believing any kind of flow. I believe nothing on here, from anyone, from any source. Say what you like about Levy, Lange, Paratici or Frank, they aren’t discussing this at the front door of Sainsbury’s whilst having a fag and being overheard. They aren’t phoning journos and telling them what’s going on.
You’re reading and reacting to shite that social media people know gives them engagement. They are, very effectively, hitting you with massive bags of dopamine.
Maybe half a dozen people know if Eze or Savinho are keen to come here. Even less will know how much Palace want us to pay. And included in that number aren’t Trix from SC or TottnumTransfers on X.

doesn’t Del Boy Paratici know a few tricks to speed this up
Here Gold is saying that the club did inform them of the bid beforehand. I’m really starting to think we didn’t know about the release clause and just made a bid that coincidentally was at the number.

Some other good bits in here.
If he is injured and out for weeks, then there may be truth in us trying to sign him I suppose.
I genuinely don't believe we will get either player. Its why suddenly you see Olmos name break the surface of the water like a shark fin. Its so bloody repetitive.
