Even if it could be done it likely won't, literally nobody is making transfers in fucking May.

Leicester signed someone for 20odd mil the other day too.

Leon Balogun is a great name for a Nigerian international born in Germany

Classic NO bringing up the 1 or 2 isolated cases for no reason whatsoever

Most people won't do anything in May and nobody should expect otherwise.

Taking everything super literal gets incredibly old.

True, but people kept saying last summer that there was tons of time on our side all the way to deadline almost Despite us having the need to do lots of business.

Well if you would sign anyone in May it would be the loan player who played brilliantly and for whom you've already agreed a fee

A bargain fee that is...

Well don't use the word 'literally' in your posts then I guess

I’m a Mole man, but that’s just glorious.

Did we get to the bottom of the transfer window thing? Need to know if I’m allowed to be pissed off that Dubravka isn’t signed up yet.

I'm no fan of the #wait craic but it is actually May. I'm sure the club could have had this done by now but at this time of year most football people are on holiday.

If we want him, we will sign him soon enough. Rafa's been looking at other keepers by all accounts.

And why pay their wages through the month of May when we can hang on and save a couple of months.

I think even for us it’s too early to expect us to get some deals done despite our obvious need to do so, I imagine the likes of him will be on holiday at the moment. I’m confident we will get him signed permanently, although that probably depends first on shifting Sels and maybe one of or both Darrow and Elliot.

I know in Rafa we trust and all that, but if he really wants a different keeper to Dubravka I think it would be a huge mistake.

Is there any suggestion he does?

Apparently Sels is as good as gone to Anderlecht. Dubravka coming in will almost certainly follow this in my opinion.

Daft considering we will probably losing no money for the swap, or very little.

Martin Dubravka (as reported by Sport.sk):

“My loan lasts until 31 May and by then everything should be sorted [one way or anther].

“Everything is based on whether or not coach Rafa Benitez will stay or go.

“All potential transfers will begin after this at the club.

“This week will show whether Rafa Benitez will remain.

“Then we will see how my own situation develops.

“The people at the club told me that they were happy and would like me to stay.

“As I said, everything depends on Rafa Benitez.

“I firmly believe my chance [of staying] is high and over the next few days it will definitely be sorted.”

Wonder if the deal depends on Rafa staying?

 

I very much doubt it.

He'll sign and Rafa will see the season out.

Surely Rafa won’t sign a contract before the window though.

Nope, he should do it as late as possible, if at all.

He might not sign a contract but he might confirm he's not walking out.

Cannot understand why the club aren't snapping the hands off that are offering to take what £4M for Dubravka?

Clear as day he is worth more than that and regardless of the Rafa situation it screams transfer profit to Ashley.

Why risk losing out?

Maybe doesn't want to stay if Rafa doesn't? Like many other of our players I imagine. Dubravka wont find it hard to find another club if he wants to.
