Sunderland had a deal in place to sign some lad called Fofana from Lyon, Palace jumped in this morning and gazumped them. Been back and forth all day, he has now told Palace that it's over and he's going to Sunderland.
Another masterclass in modern football administration from Crystal Circus and the Head Clown Parrish.
Sky reporting that Kalimuendo is staying as Forest and Eintracht Frankfurt were some way apart on the player's valuation.
Perhaps someone wrote a nasty letter?
Baggio is sad.
Yes club made announcement yesterday.
BORING BORING FOREST!!
Chicago: High on Tea.
We are all done, so say Percy.
That's fine.
We've plenty in the tank for January, which could be important, but it's a squad where the only real concern is arguably the absence of a progressive deep lying midfielder. I don't think any of us really know what Schlager can be yet, or McAtee in that position and there's always the injury doubts with Sangare. Yates will be Yates. Dom will be Dom. I think if we had to MGW has the engine and certainly the passing to play there and there are plenty of options in the double number 10 roles with Jesus, Ndoye, Kalimuendo, CHO.
We should be fine.
Looking forward to Simon's transfer in and out summary plus updated / finalised squad list.
In whatever thread he wants to do his business.
I'm not going to bed until it's out !
And of course fuck Man fucking Shitty. 115 charges and as many millions again on Anderson and Fernandez. And whoever else they signed whilst mugging / striking a pact with Spurs for Savinho and Marmoush. And fuck Chelsea too, Because they always need fucking off.
Anyone else to add to the fuck off football is gone bent PSR avoidance list?
I love the feverish reporting around transfer deadline day. It's all drama and spreadsheets.
... And nothing to do with football as I recognise it to be. Accepting that I'm a dinosaur, but if this is what matters the whole thing can get fucked.
Remember when we sold Vlachodimos to Newcastle for £20million?
Transfer deadline day use to be slightly more interesting when I was stuck in an office sub-stage waiting for the show to end. It's now one of those things that a very tiny part of me wants to get excited about (ooh, who will we sign and sell?)
A tiny part of me is fearful (oh no, who will we sign or sell?)
A tiny part of me will probably get pissed off with the financial willy waving of the usual suspects.
The bigger part of me enjoyed a random Tuesday night kebab and wine with Mrs Rave and Celebrity Masterchef.
Mayyyyybeeeeee....
Forest one of six teams in the Premier League to make a net profit on transfers this summer
Palace doing a bit of a last min splurge on randoms last night I see.
Alanis.
