Isn't it strange? For the past few weeks we've effectively been told that personal terms were agreed with the Spurs duo Ghaly and Mido, and yet - while we all sat waiting impatiently for the press conference to announce their arrivals - it turns out that personal terms aren't so much a stumbling block as an impenetrable gulf.
One thing's for sure - if this £9m double move collapses at the eleventh hour, which seems increasingly likely, you can be sure that money won't materialise for other players. I wonder if this is our board's last hurrah with attempting to boost season-ticket sales with miraculous one-off bids that amount to nothing: Lee Hughes, Nicky Butt and Craig Bellamy are just three of many examples where a large fee is agreed only for the move to collapse and the money to mysteriously disappear.
