The Transfer Window

Liverpool claim to have completed all their transfer business eleven weeks before the window closes. I suppose it’s not always about when you start but how thinks look when you finish. 🤞

Arguably they didn't have a lot to do. But I think they'll bring in more, especially with injuries a risk during pre-season.

Several 'ITKs' have said that Aguerd's medical was due to be completed this morning, so we should know soon enough whether that one is over the line.

All very quiet on the ITK front...

Why aye, man

Is no news good news? 🤷‍♂️

There is probably a Sting in the tail to this transfer.

Let’s not Snap too quickly

The mystery of Aguerd continues

OldCastleSwift

Sky reporting he's in London now (was supposed to be flying in on Monday 🤷‍♂️) and the second part of the medical will happen in the next 24 hours.

If this is true, we've somehow managed to make a medical last three days. No wonder we struggle to seal deals on transfer deadline day 😄

IronHerb

He was with the Morocco squad Monday night in Liberia so couldn't be flying to London.

Ex says the club were waiting for him today but as far as he is aware he has not been there lol

Pearces_Left_Foot

They are saying he did not turn up for the 2nd part of his medical and they have now sent the media team home

Ooh so who,s telling the truth ex Whu or the others guess we will find out tomorrow

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

ExWHU confirmed he's arrives in the country and is expected tomorrow or Saturday to complete his medical

But things are still not guaranteed

Can still be gazumped up untill the medical is passed

Hamstew

I don't think it's a case of ex not telling the truth. Just what he knows at this point.

Tomorrow or Saturday? So the medical could take four days to complete?

Man, that feels unnecessarily slow.

And presumably there's a risk even after the medical is complete. The deal's not complete until he's signed the contract, which one assumes is the last thing he'll do.

The good news is that he must like London, as he has been reported as having flown here several times this month. 🤪⚒

The medical takes as long as it does from when he arrives and when he's finished

Club had everything ready for it to be done today but he showed late....completely out of the clubs hands

Lukerz

Deals don’t get gazumped at the medical stage.

Didn’t we sell him to some Dutch club where he scored lots of goals but most people thought we were better rid of him? 😉
