Well thats the point, Im sure that we have deals already in place. Most of the stories about Samba, Cahill and Gervinho are press bollox to keep the stories alive to sell papers for a few more weeks.

Then there is also the issue of players being away on holiday etc.

Yeah, Chambermaid is a done deal so I believe.

Think Gervinho is another that's pretty certain.

That's the likely reason.....likewise Cahill :lol:

I reckon Gervinho is the most likely deal, but Lille aren't that keen on selling so that's not guaranteed either yet.

We must also be signing someone from South America as Wenger was there for 10 days before he went on holiday :unsure:

Would be funny as fuck if it was Neymar

Precisely we knew those were done deals in advance to be honest.

None of that applies to the current deals we're talking about though.

:blink: We only knew about Chamakh because Tigana mentioned to the press he wouldnt be there when he took over as manager, we didnt have a clue on any of the others until they announced by the club.

The Chamakh thing was done and dusted long before, it was obvious he was coming.

The other deals we didn't have rumour flying around about, we do with players we're supposedly interested in. In fact with Samba Blackburn have said they want to keep him and want more money anyway, Lille have said they offered Gervinho a new contract to ward off interest, Cahill there's been nothing said about (other than media BS), then there's the South American nobodies who are distinct possibilities as they're cheap.

Incidentally we've already know Jenkinson is coming, nothing stopped us signing him.
