You must have done it on FM.Quote:

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.

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".Quote:

Apparently this Babacar fellow doesn't fancy a stint on the south downs.
Has anyone bought Niasse yet?
Mahrez doing his best Peter Odemwingie impression then hahahah
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 :cab: seeing as their first choice is a midget Australian who has difficulties with the ball coming straight at him.
"You can't live in Liverpool all your life" Amazing from 'Merse'
That's Llorente, Chamberlain, Lukaku and now Barkley all turning down Chelsea.
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.Quote:

He clearly heard the 'if you go a chippy in London it doesn't do gravy' and quickly left.
The Everton owner sounds gutted about it.Quote:

Apparently not as they have a real problem with people making imposter videos that seem legit but are actually disturbing for kids, but still generate views and therefore money. Like Peppa Pig except Peppa goes to the dentist and scream whilst all her teeth get drilled out.Quote:

That countdown was underwhelming
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.
Get the fuck outta here with these youtube talk.
Is walcott still at arsenal or did he also get sold?
They tried to sell him but the buying club rejected him.
We're down. There's no way we can survive with Atsu at left back. Sterry, Laschaaf, Dummet. All knackered or sold. Jesus Gamez? Is he fit?
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.Quote:

I can't recall seeing Schelotto play. But he seems a high pedigree player for us to have on the bench.
Is Jadon Sancho going to be good, or is he Ravel Morrison?
This is the shittest #DeadlineDay I remember there being in a while.
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.Quote:

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

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?Quote:

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.
Chelsea have completely shit the bed this window. Hilarious stuff.
All the kids want to be 'youtubers' when they're older, but YouTube is banned/inaccessible in most schools.Quote:

'I'm a signing, mate.'
Ravel Morrison has signed for some mexican team called atlas

That Chelsea training top looks exactly like the England away shirt.

Good luck to Ravel. I do expect him to be as arrested crossing the border beck into the UK with a shipment of cocaine in his hand luggage.
