You snooze, you lose - whilst our transfers inch towards completion, some other team wakes up - contacted by the player's agent - and then the player's head is turned. I have been in recruitment for 37 years - if the candidate doesn't take the job pretty quickly then he/she starts to have other choices. Now you want the candidate to end up happy with the new employer - in this case team - but if you leave it for a while they almost always find reasons not to sign up - same psychology in Football - if you want the player, get it done!
Well, they got it done.
