I personally think he will still sign for you as as it stands you are the only ones willing to pay what Blackpool are asking. But the longer this goes on the more chance of another club coming in for him.
Is it terrible timing for Malky to be away doing all this Malaysian guff?
I think you really need to get him as losing out on Wanyama, Van Dijk, Gomis, Ince and Cole would prove a big blow for preperations and secondary targets will probably come into play.

Gomis is still a possibility
Wanyama is still a possibility
Ince is still a possibility
For every so called target you've seen in the press, Malky and his recruitment team have many more lined up that you won't have a clue about
Incredibly if Malky does go to Malaysia, his head of recruitment might not. There's several inventions you might not be familiar with like mobile phones and Skype that might come in handy for these people nowadays. You're not thinking this through are you, but then again, you thought Nantes were Monaco, so anything is possible

Tony
The trip to Malaysia has been arranged for months and in fact the same trip happened last summer.
Malky is out there to promote the clubs profile in Malaysia and as you said the wheels keep turning through phone e.mail and Skype
Everyone whining about malkys lack of signings but apart from Liverpool, Aston villa and man city transfer activity in the premiership is relatively quiet.
Being favourites to get relegated makes malkys job twice as difficult but as always if the players are not sure about coming then we don't want them.
We can see what was achieved with a committed squad full of togetherness last year despite being without a top striker for most of the season.
Malky will be looking for that same type of player for the squad and will not fetch a big name primma Donna in to disrupt morale.
May be a poor comparison but man utd strolled the league last year with arguably their weakest squad for years but their work ethic and togetherness is always there for everyone to see.
