Keane wasn't tapped up. Redknapp was asked when he though of Keane, not if he wanted to buy him. He said himself all they had to say was no and that would have been the end of it. In the end they didn't say no because they wanted to sell him. A player who might be with a Premier League winning club is being tapped up by facing relegation? Come off it.

Seems like it was a done deal to me before the window closed, deciding how the payments are made is irrelevant.

No, it isn't irrelevent.

Far from it. The FA haven't confirmed it neither has any club or player, and there's much more doubt.

The FA’s Director of Communications, Adrian Bevington, has spoken to the Russian media about the Andrei Arshavin deal:
“Yes, it’s true, the transfer is in doubt. There is a chance it will take us 2-3 days. The odds are 50/50. If the transfer is declared invalid, Arshavin will be returned to Zenit. We can’t rule this out. I don’t think that would be a severe ruling: both clubs had a lot of time to complete it during the window.â€

And Arshavin himself said:

I think so. The negotiations come to a close, the details tomorrow. Now I can say only one thing - if I play in the "Arsenal", then at number 23.

3 days now? Like hell this was caused by snow. Its Arsenal flouting the rules, plain and simple. There aren't many clubs thats would get away with it. Wigan wouldn't.
