    You must have done it on FM.

    My most recent deadline day panic buy was De Rossi to Liverpool for £16m.

    FM is going to be mental next time round with these fees. It should just be as simple as them doing a multiplier of 5 or 6 on existing code but you know they'll make a hash of it.

    Anyway, I forgot to let everybody know about my incredible ITKledge from last week. During Brighton v Barnet you'll never guess which football legend turned up... Glenn Roeder! I thought he was a scout at West Ham, but Wikipedia says he's a "managerial assistant" Stevenage. Its difficult to say which of Barnet's stars he may have been looking at, but expect some action.

    That's quite typical yeah. Usually, I think, these guys excel - for their age - at younger ages because they are so much more powerful that their peers. And so they look like better talents than what they are, and get hyped up on places like FM and in Goal.com toplists, etc.

    We have some bloke called Davide Zappacosta having a medical. If the name being that of a late 80s F1 backmarker hadn't rung enough alarm bells, I've googled him and he looks like some Sicilian wine waiter.

    Yeah but then the problem is some players are peacefully going for quite regular sums, all things considered, between the other leagues. It's just the Premier League and PSG really, and then to some extent the fallout of the teams they raid having more money than they "should".

    It should be easy enough to model the impact in the big leagues realistically, but I can see already that Dinamo Goat Herders are going to want £80m for any youngster with any sort of potential. So just an extension of FM17 really.

    Danny Drinkwater's at Chelsea's training ground, awaiting the thumbs up from Leicester for a medical. No fee has been agreed yet. Tick tock.

    What is the deal with Tim Krul anyway? He was highly rated once upon a time. Did that bizarre penalty sub thing break him? Has he just fallen out with Rafa (surely not!) or is there something else there? My Brighton sources tell me he's going to be their 3rd choice, which seems rather seeing as their first choice is a midget Australian who has difficulties with the ball coming straight at him.

    What's going on there that he knocked them back? He seemed desperate to leave Everton and wouldn't go to the league champions?

    Sidelined with a long injury. When he returned, he had two established keepers ahead of him. Yet, we slapped a new contract on him last season before the Ajax loan. It's all been compounded by his lack of game time which... Brighton might not give him.

    Turned us down during the medical they say. Did the doctor touch him up or something?

    Doubt he'd get a game with us tbh.

    Toddler crack, as it is known, is fairly ubiquitous on youtube and you don't really run into the bad stuff all that easily (there's just too much fucking mother goose club and disney collector out there). I'd say Amazon Instant Video is a better babysitter, although the tc makes it onto there increasingly as well, albeit slightly differently.

    Brighton have got their season resting on a mysterious late extension and the hope that Vincent Jansson (who seems to be the rumoured player) isn't as shit as most of you think. Hmmm.

    Makes sense with the various Spud connections and he's probably better than anything they have at the moment, even if he is dreadful.

    Dortmund have actually given Jadon Sancho the number 7 shirt. Fucking hell. If he'd stayed in England there's no way he was ever getting below 25.

    I don't understand how a 17 year old can "force a move". Just deal with the week long strop.

    Rotherham have just announced they've got him on loan.

    Pretty happy with Krul. Hope we give Ryan a proper chance though.

    I can't recall seeing Schelotto play. But he seems a high pedigree player for us to have on the bench.

    He's pretty great in youth games, but fuck knows what that means. He's never played a senior game. Has a brilliant turn of pace which is obviously going to make you look good against Norway u17s but his end product is generally pretty swish as well.

    Shrewd of him to move to the best club he could possibly be at, presuming he is good though.

    To continue the strangeness, it would have to be a permanent move because we've used up our two PL loans.

    What an odd life it must be as a footballer sometimes. Think you're the second choice striker for a title contender then suddenly you have a couple of hours to decide if you fancy committing the next few years of your life to a relegation favourite.

    I assumed his contract was up (or hadn't yet signed a proper one), but it's an actual transfer. As you said, how do you let a seventeen year old force a move?

    It looks like Drinkwater and Zappacosta were confirmed by Chelsea before the deadline, but nothing from Leicester about Adrian Silva coming.

    Apparently the Spanish window is still open until midnight tonight, so Costa, Coutinho and a few others could still move yet.
