    What a boring deadline day.

    I dunno. The whole password-gate cluster **** was fairly entertaining.

    Bradley Johnson to Derby as well, permanent deal. Bit surprising that.

    Girona FC oficial @GironaFC
    Rubén Sobrino formarà part de la plantilla del Girona. Arriba cedit pel Manchester City. http://goo.gl/2edPVd

    Man City buying, then giving away a player in Spain, I guess in the hope of building a Spanish B-team. They also loaned young Nigerian Nwakali to them.

    Looking like a good window for City. Brought in some very good players and look very strong now.

    Pretty poor window for United. They really need to get a top class striker as a statement of intent as much as anything else. Can't believe they haven't(the young fella from Monaco doesn't count). Considering they have champions league, they should have been able to attract top players. Don't if the issue is that Van Gaal is scaring people off or the owners won't give him money.

    Chelsea badly need a replacement for terry. That being said, I think their form might have more to do with motivation than anything else.

    Will be interested to see how this lad son fits in for Spurs.

    Liverpool look to have signed a load of average players again. They missed their chance to go all out when they had champions league .

    Glad that Southampton didn't haemorrhage any more players.

    Talk of english clubs losing the fourth champions league spot unless they have a good season. That would be a disaster for the league.

    Considering the fact that points won have to be divided by clubs who originally started the tournaments, it will be hard enough to make it a good season.
    WHU and Southampton already gone, still do count.

    How could this not have been sorted sooner. He is hardly a player in huge demand...

    The loan could have been agreed the paperwork done but then villa might have said nah we want the permanent option attached as well in case he is a very good player for them.

    Nearly £900m spent again this summer.

    It's a 2 hour extension for everyone who had the Transfer Intent form, or whatever they call it, handed in.

    No - the problem is the English teams attitude to the UEFA Cup.

    Nathan Dyer is gone on loan to Leicester.

    The premier league teams have also had a fairly miserable time in the champions league lately as well.
    Chelsea are the last time an English team won the uefa cup because they did put in an effort to win it.

    Think Utd didn't sign a top striker for the same reason Arsenal didn't, the same reason Chelsea signed Falcao. There weren't any around who were gettable.

    But we are told by everyone from fans to Scholes that if utd want a player they will get that player.

    So they must not have wanted a striker.

    Europa League.
    Winning it is a guaranteed CL group stage spot out of it is as good as finishing 2nd & 3rd.

    Bacca, Jackson Martinez, Mandzukic were available. Even Higuain & Zlatan were both probably gettable for the right money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,480 ✭✭✭rwbug


    Dybala too - for the €32m Juve paid he could have added much needed pace and creativity to United

    Yes, it seems they can't attract the big names any more. Chelsea are not too bad but the others can't seem to compete.

    Guy must have some sense then

    Next summers transfer window is going to be nuts when the new tv money kicks in if clubs are will to pay £36m for a teenage player with one full season under his belt what will a player cost this time next year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,480 ✭✭✭rwbug


    I think United will spend huge next summer - extra money coming in, wage bill massively reduced and probably a disappointing season in 2015/16 will make them go big.
