When players who come up for sale and to behonest 1million to loan foster for a season is a bargin with a view to sign has to be snaped up quickly in my opinion!
In an ideal world yes.
But take the Foster transfer as an example. No-one else is reported to be interested. The longer it goes on the more tempted the Blues will be at accepting a lower offer for Foster meaning we may have more money to spend on other targets.
In regards to the reported loan, 1million is a lot to pay for a season especially when you think we maybe able to get him on a permanent deal for around 6mill maybe even less.
Sometimes there are times that need you to get in and make an offer (a bit like Wolves with Johnson) others where we need to wait, like this one and the Odemwingie deal last season.
Additionally, Roy may want a final say before finalising a deal and with him not back until the weekend it maybe that he wants to do his own talks (to get an idea of fosters personallity) before anything is agreed.
I understand what you're saying but we just need to be patient.
We can moan if we are in September with no new signings.
