I understand the signing of Grbic being delayed whilst Madrid finalised the transfer of his replacement. Apparently that was completed yesterday so I would imagine that means Grbic should be done today. Though why CW should say that it was nearly done last weekend in time for WHU (if it always needed Madrid to source his replacement first) is a little puzzling. Anyhow probably sometime before the weekend.
As for Curtis, if the lads signed (and it seems that he has as he was at the game on Sunday in full Blades trying gear) then why the big delay in announcing it? Are we waiting to launch the signing video on Netflix or something? Are we just putting the finishing touches to the post production re-shots including love scenes being filmed behind the training rooms at Shirecliffe with Halle Berry? Is CW playing the part of Blofeld and stroking a pussy in the background whilst sporting an evil grin?
Oh for the days of picking up to the local rag to read that United were interested in A and B. Then the excitement building before we got our hands on the rag the next day to read the latest scoop / article by Tony Pritchett telling us that we had signed 'Star' A, but 'Star' B had fucked off to Crewe for more money. We did love a 'Blades swoop for Star' headline on the billboards. Nowadays, the billboards would have 'Blades fuck about for a while with Star and their agent'. Simpler times back then.
