There's also half a working day worth of overlap. I think this time difference talk has been massively overstated, unless Joel only works afternoons and we all clock off at bang on 5pm every day.

Deadline day signings aren't really started on deadline day.
Some of them are.
Or at least in many cases there are no substantial agreements prior to deadline day so for all intent and purposes the bulk of negotiations are done on deadline day.

What are they saying in the video?
The man filming says that he is with the great player Adrien Rabiot, Rabiot adds from Juventus, the man then says that Rabiot is coming to England and wishes him good luck while Rabiot awkwardly thanks him.
The Liverpool game is awkward timing as we'll get slapped regardless of who is out there. Glad he's coming, but i don't see a dramatic change in our fortunes until all our business is done. The outgoings are arguably more important than the incomings. And you know we'll leave it til deadline day to do everything. Might not be til mid September where things normalize at this point, where we have a set group and the training sessions improve.
the ending is so awkward!!!!is it "coming to England" or here in England? Replies suggest it was filmed in England
Yeah, you can read in his eyes that he wants to tell the guy to stop his nonsense.
Part of me thinks we should save playing any new signings till after Monday night, last thing we need is a load of new players who haven't had a chance to settle in getting spanked first game.
Great points. And it’s why I think Rabiot will be a transformative signing for us. A genuine DM that knows how to play the role, is press resistant and technically proficient.
Plus he’s quite a physical player which is what we need in front of our fragile defence.
I think if (big if) we can pair him with Frenkie with Eriksen playing ahead (and dropping Bruno) we’ll be around 40-50% of the way through of having an excellent solid core and spine of the team (Varane, Martinez, Rabiot, Frenkie, Eriksen).
Glad someone is happy about it. Not quite sure where it's based though. Juve seem happy to practically give him away.
I'm now looking forward to Rabiot coming. I think he will be a good signing...that how desperate I have become.
Just like Barca are happy to get rid of FDJ. Doesn't mean player is bad, sometimes just need a change of scenery and system.
Rabiot has never been that good though. He's not in same league as FDJ.
Barca only want rid of him due to his wages too. Nothing to do with ability. They are trying to right the wrongs of the previous president.
Rabiot is much better than any of our CM/CDM, so an improvement at last.
Rabiot coming will be like a brand new signing
Not just wages, Frenkie hasn't lived up to his price tag either. His last appearance against Rayo was one of his best games in the last two three years. It's like living up in the mountains with narrow windy roads and keeping a mustang in your garage.
I have no idea, I would say that the guy was talking about his rumoured future club, not where they currently are.
We can't even get a deal done with a guy who wants to come and whose club are keen to sell.
What is the hold up ffs? He's not even that great.

No way that's England. They're classic European apartments in the background, why would Rabiot be hanging around an estate in England, along with another frenchman
.Why do we always take forever on personal terms? The deal got agreed like last week… absolute embarrassment. We always take forever in transfer windows, need midfielders like desperately, so what do we do, not sign any until after the 2nd game of the season.
Martinez will continued to be bullied when facing tall strikers though that's the problem
They could work well together IF by some total miracle we can get both deals done
Thanks!
If you read the post I was quoting you’ll see how Ajax mitigated that risk with Martinez.

You mean by strong midfield two in front

It looks like a standard french building from the 60s-70s but I could be wrong.
He probably wants 300k a week and we're trying to bring it down to 295k.
So what's the hold up with this guy?
It's unbelievable, isn't it.. anyway, I hope something happens and we don't sign him.No. I'd rather get his moody ass in than be stuck with McFred. Come on, beggars can't be choosers here.
Veronique wants a spa day with Ronaldo and he' not having it
This guy is Juve's McFred, they want him gone yesterday, praying we buy him. We are just making sure we get him earning enough money to make its impossible to ever sell him.
Exactly..
