So are we still in advanced talks for about the eighth day ?
It makes me laugh when I see comments like this. Not to be personal, you're just one of many who have said similar, but footballers contracts are no longer a matter of the manager saying how much per week, how much bonus, and then a signature. The contracts are now complex legal documents which take ages to agree, especially when you take into account the basic wage, bonuses, image rights, etc.
That's why there are very rarely any last minute moves on deadline day, because it is a negotiation, and it can take weeks to agree every part of the contract.
