I'm surprised that this thread hasn't been shipped to the place that shouldn't be mentioned. I'm not saying it should, just surprised to still see it here.

If an unscrupulous agent can get his client more money elsewhere, good on them.

I'd love to see this happen as much as the next fan however, it's not going to happen and I can't see why many think it is. Even if by some miracle we get shut of Stuckman and The Toe, there's still going to be bigger clubs coming in who can offer more cash. He played in the Rosso game, but never even featured on the bench against Boro and I won't be surprised if he isn't even on the bench at the next friendly. I saw Rosso as more like a training game (no disrespect to Rosso) so why shouldn't he get some game time, but that's all it is. Benefits him and maybe shows our midfield what we want from them.I'll get shot down for this, and hopefully I AM wrong and we sign him, but I just can't see it.
So, if there is an intention to sign him, why not just get on with it and get him on the pitch where he's needed?Sure, things are never that simple but this is going to drag on, and on, until he signs for someone. Now, if that turns out to be a League One club, I can see a backlash, as it will seem like a big opportunity missed. I'm sure we'd all like to think he'd rather be here than elsewhere, it's just a case of striking the right deal. Maybe?
Given that the main area of concern is probably now defence, I reckon the new situation makes it less likely that Paul would sign, not more likely.Unless of course DF is just being consistent in laying smokescreens......
