A club the size of Sheff Utd, in 2018, is waiting on a person who lives abroad to sign a piece of paper? I doubt its only one person who can sign it off, you can digitally sign documents, and IF it was one person with the power of the pen, would you let them be out of the country during the crazy part of the season?! Sounds like crap to me. I would imagine someone has seen he is available and has come in with a better offer, or a better club. Southend made an offer, and if his family is still London way it would be better for him.
On the basis that a train Southend - London is 59 minutes and Oxford - London is 63 minutes?

Well come this evening, we will have all this cleaned up! I reckon Crooks will leave today for a fee, VV will leave at some point before the end of August on loan if he doesn't leave today for a fee! What I can't see is any *key players* leaving after today, we are surely only going to loan out the dross or ones who can't get in the team that are on very big money for us (which is only really KVV that I can think of).

http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/16399823.oxford-united-boss-karl-robinson-targets-new-additions-after-opening-day-defeat/ Holmes’s move from Sheffield United looked a done deal on Thursday morning, when Blades boss Chris Wilder revealed the winger was on his way.
But getting final approval from Bramall Lane has proved the stumbling block.
On Saturday, Robinson was optimistic the move would go through.
He said: “Everything was agreed, but when you do contracts, owners have to sign things off.
“They’ve got two owners, one in Australia and one in the Middle East, so they needed two signatures, that’s what I’m led to believe.
“Even today I’ve been told it’s going to happen. We’ve got to dust ourselves off and go again. Hopefully we get the deals done on Monday.”

Before B&S answers that - it’s 5 that want to leave not necessarily 5 that are going to leave 😏.

Oh Ivan...
Wonder if we put in a sell on clause when we sold him to Newcastle?
We obviously should have but remember, it was Cardoza who sold him so probably didn't, as he just wanted the transfer fee to alledgedy line his own pockets before he scarpered!

Having said that it the deadlines come and go and crooks/Van Veen et al are still here won’t we be left with sulking players on exorbitant wages to carry until at least January - the costs in terms of morale and finances are going to be high.

Possibly but you would also think it is in their interests to knuckle down until January. If they have a good first half of the season (entirely possible in League 2) they will up their earning potential, Crooks especially you would think. The challenge will be crowd reaction, every mistake will be viewed through the lens that "he doesn't want to be here anyway" by some

This is the problem . You just hope that everyone knuckles down and gets on with it . That includes players that may have preferred a move and the manager that might have had his differences with players .

How much profit will Toney make Peterborough?
Apparently they paid £100k + for him. So I'm guessing the profit will be -£100k + He'll be there for 2 years, do nothing and move on to do the same at another club.

If he can sell that I can only assume he's in the middle easy to sell them sand! Doesn't take over a week to get a document between UK, Australia and Middle East to get two signatures, even if they posted it at the post office!

The phrase “want to leave” keeps getting repeated on here. As previously posted by others that can mean anything from agitating for a move to being willing to listen to any offers that might come along, which applies to just about every professional footballer.
Even if the information comes from the players best mate it is still open to a certain amount of interpretation and likewise every time its passed along the chain.
Who knows where those ITK have got their info from but I would be very surprised if all "The Famous Five" were all stomping about moaning that they wished they were somewhere else.
