Hi Ed002.

The Kai Havertz transfer is a big talking point in football due to his fee and apparent talent and future potential, which has meant dozens of "insiders" and journalists are lining up to give differing accounts of how "done" it is, the apparent fee, and take a punt at a completion date.

Those of us who come on here know that, fundamentally, you're reliable because you a) don't gain anything from speculating (apart from grief) and b) don't make statements that aren't well qualified.

So when yesterday you said "The transfer is being concluded in Germany by a lawyer working for Chelsea" - can we take from this that the broad-strokes are agreed between the clubs, and what's left is dotting i's, crossing t's, and some finer legal details?

{Ed002's Note - The statement is true and correct - I don't know why you want to try and read things into it.}

Basically just trying to get to grips with how close this is, without asking the "how soon" or "how likely" questions we know you don't like.

Cheers.

It’s close, I wouldn’t worry too much about it mate. Big transfers always take longer.
