Summer Transfer Window

First topic message reminder :

2 to Swansea at home. And the mighty attacks of Sunderland and Burnley

Crimey wrote:West Ham sign Morgan Amalfitano without any hint of it all day...

Had Sky not mentioned it? Its been in the pipeline all day, and has been rumoured for over a month!

We have until midnight to finalise the deal Juan, special dispensation for international transfers.

The Leeds twitter account said this 

"@LUFC: Don't go to bed just yet...there is still work to be done #DeadlineDay #lufc"

Then they announced they sold two players

Don't have Sky here so not got a clue. Haven't read anything or seen it on BBC news all day. Heard the rumours earlier in the window though.

Still, he's been there nearly 4 hours...

Hooiveld joins on loan for the season.

Lovely stuff Nodge, really lovely. Top six beckons

Would like to point out SOF/Nando that Nathan Redmond is still a Norwich player, just like I said he would be....

Blind had been there for over two days before the deal was confirmed, this has been one of the most messed up transfer windows i've known. Chelsea have done ok but aside from that it's been a mess from everybody.

It gets better...

They sold Matt Smith to get Becchio in, and he snubbed them for Rotherham. Never change Leeds

Ex-Celtic player? He's alright, will do a job in the Championship but if you get promoted look for someone better.

Thus a loan TSJ!

Will be decent backup who can step in when needed. We needed defenders, got em. In Grabban/Hooper we've two strikers who should score 20+ goals each this season up top. Very optimistic, not too much turnover of players this window and have added good players for this level. And Carlos Cuellar for lolz

Can't understand the Negredo deal. Aguero will inevitably be injured for half a season and then Jovetic struggled last year with injuries too. City are competing for four trophies, they need more than that you feel. If they're going to get rid of Negredo, have to be bringing in a replacement, even if it's not a marquee signing.

Sorry I didn't see the loan bit. I think you'll come back up.

I think we'll pass you on the way up :fishing:

Kevin Doyle to Palace...

Wonder how many Falcao would score in the Championship...

Can't believe we haven't signed anyone else who can play cb. Step up Isaac Hayden?

That would imply you'd have signed him, which isn't confirmed yet.....

ShutupShutupShutup!!!!!

Bizarre it's taken this long.

I would love it if it didn't go through.

That's because you're a jealous Liverpool fan though

Manchester United are going to struggle without European football to placate some of these big name players.

It's true I would have liked Falcao, but that's not why it would be funny.

It's very odd how Falcao appears to be fleeing from Champions League football.

I jest, I jest!! I do think that he's good enough for the CL these days and it's just a coincidence.

Well the hour extension has come and gone, still we wait....

We sign when we want, we sign when we want!

*hoping to dear god they can sign when they want.

I do like that Alan Smith caused panic by saying he failed a medical. seems plausible with his knee injury.

I doubt it as he was playing for Monaco the other day.

Remy played a few days after failing his Liverpool medical with his "heart" issue

Pretty sure Arsene is signing him for Poopie and giggles now 

Welbeck confirmed. Like it for arsenal.

Falcao not...

Michael Keane has gone to Burnley.

Can't believe it hasn't gone through yet.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!

Now it has

Longest ever Fergie time!

Falcao deal confirmed by Manchester United 

Interesting quote for Jorge Mendes. He claims Falcao has signed permanent deal. Due to financial FairPlay it's signed as 1 year loan then 3 year contract...

That's for Monaco's benefit rather than Utd btw.

Van Gaal has to deliver top four. He's been given the funds, signed two of the best players in the world over the past two years and spent more than any other team in the Premier League as well having at least the top two highest wages in the league (Rooney and Falcao). No excuses really.

I keep hearing that without European football United won't be able to attract any big names. So placating the small name players they have should be absolutely no problem.

I wonder how many games borini will get this season.?

To be fair to him he has said from day one that he didnt want to come back to Sunderland. I blame gus Poyet for perusing him all season. We should of gone after others - especially a striker. We have fletcher, altidore and wickham as our front line.

Crimey, rumours at my end say that Liverpool still owe us £14m from the Henderson and Mingolet deals, fence why the borini deal was that amount to clear the debt? Have you heard anything about that?

I hope Coates gets games, but I have a feeling he'll have to wait until brown or o'shea get injured...

I have been assured Remy had absolutely no recreational substances in his system at his Liverpool medical.

Falcao seems like a genuinely nice bloke which is not something I can recall saying about too many footballers. He's probably a murderer then.

Seems a late move for Cleverley to Villa on loan is awaiting PL approval

I can't even see Borini getting more than five games, his best hope is that Liverpool either fall into the Europa league or go on a long cup run. He's not even in the 18 man squad most of the time, and rightly so.

Surprised that Liverpool still have Lucas, seemed no effort was made to sell him either. Perhaps Rodgers saw a use for him.

He actually ought to be challenging for the title with the amount that was spent.

normally i would agree, but he's in his first year taking over a shambles left by moyes. top 4 in first year is more than enough, should look to challenge the year after.

Torres will play 5 or 6 games in Milan and when they see how cack he is he will be cleaning boots, safe to say Milan NEED a big investment.
