How long does it actually take to make a bid?
Depends on the weather - curing the parchment takes time.
Bid is the last step anyway.
It can take a while to agree the structure and timing of the payments. Clubs have to ensure they keep sensible cash flow available to cover contingencies so they rarely want to pay all upfront.
It can also take a while to agree tax liabilities and how payments to agents will be structured.
Players also need to make living arrangements and good clubs take the time to help them sort this out too, offering a rented house for a period of time.
People forget we are not talking about signing an 18 year old with just a kit bag to his name.
But didn’t Rodgers always moan about the transfer committee and how it stopped him buying the players he wanted? Seems like a win win for him, the good players he buys are down to him and the ones he didn’t get were the committees fault. Can’t work both ways
Woody’s loins have to be girded and his shadow beardy thing needs to grow to the point where it’s uncomfortably bristly.
I can see that there are many factors involved.
it needs to be prepared! Quick someone go and fetch me a pretty ribbon!
What you on about? You don't bid whilst negotiating with the player. That's the last thing to do.
Not really, their disappointing careers so far, despite their decent technical abilities, proves it.
Oh I have no idea? I just wanted to point out to the Liverpool fan that the players bought under Rodgers weren't the dross he was making them out to be?
Surely we can't be this slow at making bids for players, I think a lot of this gets exaggerated in the media.
It's Luckhurst saying it. He literally knows nothing concrete about transfers.
In any case, surely we are negotiating with Sanchez representatives before pursuing the bid. The latter seems to be just a formality, I think it's probably getting a package to persuade Sanchez to irreversibly join us that's taking time.

I miss the good old transfers days, pre social media.
Didnt have to listen to shit journos giving their opinions on transfers. Constantly refreshing teletext instead.

You can ignore that Luchhurst. Knows nothing but have to say something. Just want more clicks and followers.
Welcome to Redcafe, if you've just joined.
Even pre-Twitter was great. Once twitter became a thing it ratcheted up the emotions to irrational levels.
There really should be an organ judging the newspapers, journalists and websites. Like a really good one so one could smash their reputations and tarnish every lie they make up.
I've been here long enough.
Well I mean yeah if he is going to another club it's obvious we would like him to join us. Atleast we're willing to let them get Mkhitaryan who might play really well in their system.
With Martial and Lukaku, that's a fantastic front four at good value.
Oh Arsenal! And they thought losing RVP to us was bad. If we got those two that would be the coup of the century and put us back on par with City. And all for peanuts with enough in the kitty to get Sandro and other top players.
Maybe it’s like a chain in buying a house. Leicester buy this guy and then arsenal buy mahrez so that we can get Sanchez? So technically could relate to Utd.
Wenger trying to destroy Wenger.
I'll start using my free time to work as a football jurnalist. Think I'd do more then ok and earn some easy money.
Let me get the gist of it. I only need to see who's linked to who and write a tweet that is black with no garantee of it not beeing white but at the same time has a colorfull background. And the more outlet links and their strenghts I take into account the better the quality of my own work becomes, easy peasy lemon squeezy. Cool story bro

Arsenal was first City's feeder club, now it will become ours.
Ozil and Sanchez departing for Mhikitaryan and Malcolm would be decent business for Arsenal considering they're both out of contract in the summer and clearly don't want to be at the club. Bringing in those players would probably give the rest of the team some confidence that they're not just a selling club.
Personally I'd only want one of Sanchez or Ozil here, front 3 of:
Martial/Rashford + Lukaku + Sanchez/Ozil.
If we brought both in, we'd have to either give up on Martial/Rashford or play a 2 man midfield which would limit Pogba dramatically.

"prepared", "may", this guy is a farcical waste of space.
Never deals in definites.

Putting Kane in is just stupid. We have invested in Lukaku and he is a very good striker who will improve further, so fans need to wise up and support him.
Agreed. Joke of a journalist.
Idis redibis nunquam in bello peribis.
With rotation and changing formations for certain games they'd all fit fine.
Not a Tweet, but United related, so...
Kicker in Germany says Dortmund and Akanji are in the final negotiation stages. Only Manchester United are left as a competitor for his signature.

Well I was thinking of Lingard/Mata rotating tbh.
Obviously v.good players that'd improve us and all, but I'm more excited about the prospect of pissed of Arsenal fans, protests against Kroenke and AFTV meltdowns
This. Although I remember being super disappointed after reading about Robben joining Chelsea via teletext and BBC TV ticker.
Robben and Ronaldinho both sucked so badly at the time. The heartache was real.
