Edward Woodward

Its a door to door +- 30 hour trip from Australia.
My sister moved to New Zealand a few months ago and it took her 27 hours, including a 4 hour stop over in Hong Kong. Either way he should be in the country by now, but whether he's down to business who knows.
 
Yes but there's been talk that Fellaini and Baines might come together as one huge bid and Garay has been reportedly close for a while.

I think if he's rushed back it's something that cannot be done over the phone, which could be something to do with terms or final offers or whatever.

Bale is apparently still at the pre-bid stage and the Fabregas thing apparently needs a bigger bid. I don't see why he'd fly back purely to put in bids, unless it's to sit down face to face with some chairman to thrash it out, but we're led to believe those deals aren't that far along yet.
So it being for Fellaini, with no bid reported, is more likely than it being for Fabregas, with a bid reported to be lodged, rejected, and increased. Proper logic.
 
Was that you who got hosed off the top of a landrover? Impressive air time if it was mate...Anyway back on subject Woodward is quite obviously back in Manc to deal with Rooneys latest strop or in fact to make plans to turf him out.
Yes that was definitely me. I'm glad you were impressed.

But they specifically said it was nothing to do with Rooney. Why would they lie, Ramshock? Why would they lie?

You need this to be a big one don't you.

Yeh i can see you've hung on the Fellaini thing. It was just a name i chucked in there because of his link to a deal for Baines. You're making out as if my point was solely about Fellaini. Why don't you mention Baines/Garay? My logic is that flying back to finalise something is more sense than flying back to lodge a bid/second bid for someone. Proper logic.
 
Just because something urgent has come up doesn't necessarily mean that an announcement of anything is imminent. If its an urgent, unplanned situation then there's a high probability its not good news. If, as reported, it is to do with an incoming transfer then it probably means a setback in acquiring a player. Ie Woodward flying back means the transfer would take longer than initially expected.

Obviously the reverse is possible as well, i.e. maybe Ronaldo phoned up Carrington Tuesday night to say he'd like to come back and will pay his own transfer fee. But regardless I don't see this as a clear indication that we're about to announce anything.

I just made an educated guess, to be honest.
 
Could be a meeting that's needed with the Rooney camp too?

We await news, but i don't think any sort of announcement is forthcoming for at least a day.

Fair enough.
 
Hah! Wasn't asking what pulled you back but where the feck have you been? Its becoming harder to find familiar faces in the threads nowadays

I've had my head down, the CAF single handedly saw me waste more time that i'd care to admit on teh internet instead of working in my last job. So i've had to take myself away to not end up down the same road in this job

But as I say we've all got a weakness!

How are you?
 
Hes clearly just experiencing flight delays in Madrid and Barcelona - no need to worry lads.
 
he's clearly been sedated and detained for shouting transfer rumours and dealings through the door of the cockpit and refusing to return to his seat.
 
If it was Fellaini/Baines wouldn't it have made sense for Everton to protect their asset and not play them in meaningless friendlies to avoid injury?

I'm using that logic to come to the conclusion that it's neither of the above.
 
The news only broke around this time yesterday that he was returning home to conduct business. It's a good 20+ hour flight from Australia, and can be longer if there's any changes. He might still be in the air.

Besides. I've watched Border Force Australia. They are right cnuty about who they let in and out. He probably had an apple in his pocket which he forgot about, and now he's sat in an interview room, naked, bent over a table as they check his arsehole for concealed raw food.

Maybe, but lots of players do pre-season before moving.

Ah so that's where the Fabregas bid leak came from.
 
Imagine if he came from all that way but then he realized he forgot his keys to the war chest. He would have to fly back again.

Or they could send over someone else with the key, just a thought.
