Just sign and be done with it.

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Clearance awaited
Before deal is completed
Passports and visa’s
Discussions quite heated.
Transfer is on, Agents agree
Buying club haggles
Over payment of fee
Ten million deposit
Balance on tick
Other clubs interested
So we better act quick
What about a compromise
The chairman pleads down the phone
To avoid all the hassle
Can we just take him on loan.
Our little secret, just between you and me
We’ll tell the fans we signed him
For a undisclosed fee…………..yet another one.

Notes

Oh for the good old days when the player met up with the manager in the back room of the Scotch Corner hotel on a Friday morning, signed a form and made his debut for his new club the following day. Now deals seem to take months to go through.
