I agree with Pat! I think they mentioned it to emphasise the kind of player we are bidding on! Got to face it, Corky is waiting on better options otherwise it would have been announced!
Alternatively, by saying we have agreed a fee with chelsea, it is showing our intent. Kind of masks diappointment of player not signing by showing that we are in for players! Its a web of intrigue
I heard Sharpy had turned us down from another Donny player, oh well!!!!! Still have a feeling we might go wow, when our hidden targets are announced!!!
Interesting that in Express, it says that Wenger is looking to tie up the deals of Cahill and Gervinho asap! Nothing about OXO when it is also supposed to be a done deal!
