Arsenal aren't signing anyone today because they can't afford to due to the massive wages gimps like Matthieu Debuchy and friends are on and the rules about wages in proportion to income. Arsenal, the only team who manage to be poor with 150 mil in the bank. Well run my arse.
Llorente to Spurs to further shit on Chelsea's chips?
No idea.
I guess this means Janssen is available. He might be quite handy for a lower/mid-table side. Google says £23m to West Brom.
'This Vincent Janssen blokes a bit immobile, let's get Fernando on the phone'
Do we have a buyback clause on Patrick Bamford I wonder.
I'm sure whoever has him now will willingly return him.
Arsenal asking £27m for Calum Chambers. What's he done to more than double his value since he signed? Insane.
Footballers are the new London houses.
They escalate in value regardless of objective reality.
English premium ay it.
I liked how arsenal had quite a few english players who get game time. Most of them were average but they got chances in the first team. Looks like they are all getting thrown away now as just not good enough, rightfully so.
Arsenal fans deserve better.
Ipswich fans don't obviously because they all drive tractors, and don't get me started on Peterborough fans.
I'm at the point of apathy where I'm down for selling everyone and we go back to Jack Wilshere putting 6/10 balls through to Giroud. At least I knew why we were shit then.
Has there been any mention of a Southampton sell on clause for Chamberlain? They've not really been linked with anyone specific but it could help them buy another player even at 20%
Most of their sell-on clauses got Jewed out of them when they were in the shit, didn't they?
Are the Arsenal owners trying to do what the Glazers did, just without a good enough manager to make it work?
Really surprised that Danny Ings is still hanging around. He would be ideal for the likes of Burnley, Brighton, Huddersfield or Swansea.
£35m seems to be the official (BBC) price for Oxlade-Chamberlain.
If they spend some/most of that on Ross Barkley then, instead of just lolling, we should support the resident Arsenal fans in choosing their new club.
Who thought it would be a good idea for the last day of the window to coincide with a round of international fixtures? Genius.
In a hopefully not prophetic move Brighton are signing the captain of the Costa Concordia from Sporting Lisbon.
It's not a wow signing, but it's one I like. Some help at centre back should be the next thing on the list.
See? This shit's funny.
Could do with a better picture of Pulis but having that up in as people walk by my office was getting dicey.
That will do.
£35m is a pittance these days.
Is Aurier allowed in the country these days?
Yeah, Centre back next and someone to coach them in the art of defending corners.
Yeah his court case was yesterday and got cleared.
In the top 5 craziest things of this transfer window is Janssen potentially moving to West Brom for 25 million. We bought him for 17, he's shown himself to be completely incapable of playing Premier League football in any game he's played, and now a Premier League team is about to buy him at a nearly 10 million profit. Wondrous.
And all that profit and more is going on 32 year old Fernando Llorente.
Troubling times.
I thought Llorente was at least 36. Seems like he's been around forever.
Bamford's not for sale at any price apparently, so we've had to go back in for Leon Knight.
I'm sure Persib Bandung (?) would be willing to let Carlton Cole go, for the right price, natch.
Christ! Even better. He's recently had his contract terminated with them.
Totally worth it, Llorente is perfect for what he's being signed for.
I'm pretty such he was sacked last week for being outrageously unfit.
John Spencer could probably still do a job.
Buying provably crap players from other Premier League clubs is one of my footballing bugbears.
What do West Brom's scouts do all day?
All West Broms signings this year have been pretty good?
So in news from the shittest club in the league;
1. We've been told to do one after asking about a loan for Mirallas. Ignoring the fact that we need some defenders, we've decided to go for yet another fucking striker.
2. Sakho was initially told he could go to Rennes but we've then cancelled the transfer at the last minute, saying the striker (who wants to leave and didn't show up for training this week) will apparently be a vital part of our plans.
3. Apparently the Carvalho deal won't go through because the owners don't want to pay the extra £2m that Sporting are asking. I don't think there's enough lol's to cover than in a world where 'The Ox' moved for £35m in the last year of his contract.
4. No other deals in the pipeline, because we're fucking shit and our owners are shit.
Seems it's all going on now: along with Schelotto we're after Denswil (some defender from Brugge), there's talk of Krul from Newcastle, and we've rejected a bid from Reading for Hemed (I'm glad we're sticking by him). And we're still after a striker.
Sullivan and Gold are fucking quality. They'll probably take West Ham into League One and beyond.
They'll end up using Dagenham & Redbridge as an outground for when there's monster truck racing in the Olympic Stadium.
I for one look forward to our gutsy Quarter Final exit to Oldham in the Johnstone Paint trophy or whatever it's called these days.
Other than Burke and Krychowiak, both of whom will be new to the league so may well be toss, it's been nothing but punts. Jay Rodriguez missed two full years and was poor last year, Gareth Barry has probably outlived his usefulness in the Premier League, and Kieran Gibbs is rubbish. Hegazy looked alright in his debut, but you're talking about a bloke who's in his mid twenties and has one full season of football in the Egyptian league behind him.
Renato Sanches:
That's how you hype a proper star.His arrival further bolsters Clement’s options in midfield, which has been boosted by the recent signing of Sam Clucas from Hull City.
Jordan Sancho off to Dortmund is perhaps one of the more bizarre transfers of the day.
I think it's more likely that that rumour was total nonsense than their transfer dept. is useless. As phonics said, they've done some of the best business in the league.
Renato Sanches to Swansea is one of my favourite transfers ever.
Leverkusen have bought a 19 year old defender with 15 league starts to his name from Olympiakos for £20 odd million. That's got to be a Greek transfer record by some distance.
How did that Renato Sanches thing happen? I know he never lived up to it but is he gone that far downhill?
Dortmund signing a fictional man is a bit odd.
There probably aren't many better places to be as a young player than Dortmund.
