It’s my understanding that the fee was actually agreed last week, and that all remained was a final agreement on the payment plan which came early this week.
Yesterday we were still getting insufferably inaccurate updates from Adam Blackmore, and I am only surprised that the Daily Echo haven’t run another misleading piece, advising that Real Madrid are currently showing the lad around their golf course.
Today, Southampton’s pompous local BBC talk of ‘one step’ closer to an agreement – one that is comically inflated with face-saving add-ons.
I sincerely hope we never have the misfortune to do business with this club again.
