That light show may well have swung things. Just don’t know which way.

The fact the dialogue has shifted from 'signing for Barca 100%' to 'Barca are confident but tottenham are there' to '50:50 who knows' looks like it's moving in our direction from the outside.

Screw it I think it's happening, call me an optimist but Ange's got me believing baby.

turns 18 tomorrow…wonder if that’s got anything to do with the delay! Saw somewhere you can give longer contracts to 18year olds…just a ‘musing’
If he doesn't turn 18 until tomorrow, we couldn't sign him this window anyway

Post Brexit rules ban English clubs from signing players under 18 from overseas - it's why the Vuskovic deal means he won't join until next year.

Explains why there is no urgency, we can do the deal at any time between now and June.

See that’s a great example of taking some idiot’s (me) half information and actually turning it into something valid and reliable. Well done you!!

Pretty sure you can sign them but not register. So he’d be back in Sweden until the summer which I guess would have been the plan anyway.

If he doesn't sign for Barca today that would suggest that we're ahead imo, since Barca reportedly gave him a deadline of today to decide

Yep, true but it means that it doesn't have to be done today. If he's got to stay until the summer anyway there is no reason it MUST be done tonight. We can do it tomorrow and the deal would go through in June when the window reopens
