ArfnipIsARoyal So Nick Hammond says we've shut up shop at 10:30pm, say at 10:45pm a fax comes in for S.Hunt for £5m, thus releasing the clause in his contract, Hunt has to be told about it, etc. etc. Until I see it on the official site I will hold back. I do believe Hammond was telling the truth and that is great news, but I'd rather wait and see
Heres a scenario for you. Hammo says the shop is closed, and he backs it up by saying that you have all had over a month to offer the right price (and you knew what that was) in time for us to sell to you and go and find a suitable replacement. Anyone coming in with any offer now is just too late as we can't do a deal to replace the player. He tells the agents that and advises them that any club wanting their player will now have to wait until the Jan window (ie we will listen to offers and pass them on - but not for this window).
