As you say. We should've been all over this in preparation for him to sign on 2/1/2017. It could well be he signs on 9/1/2017 and all will be well. But, nonetheless it grates as to how we don't seem to get it over the line straightaway (and more so after supposedly 'learning lessons' from last summer)!I wouldn't say I'm concerned at lack of linked players in the media. 98% in the media is a load of crap anyway.
My main concern is like Koemans concern, the lack of balls and negotiation of the board. Schneiderlin has been on the radar since the summer. Now with Gana away, we still haven't agreed a deal with United, even though both clubs and the player want the move. Moshiri needs to stand up, get rid of the incompetent negotiators on the board and do the business himself.
