Deadline Day! | Confirmed Signings in OP

I like how the Chelsea representative said they would announce anything the usual way - on their website. I thought the usual way was via twitter accounts?
 
Has there been any Llorente news, surely Spurs don't intend to leave themselves with just Adebayor and Defoe, surely they have something in mind
 
I reckon when the folks at Liverpool were discussing strategy for the window someone probably made a "well how bad could it get?" joke.

They have their answer tonight. Rory Smith of the Times is discussing it on twitter. Pretty interesting. They've knocked £450k p/w off the wage bill this summer. It's pretty clear where the focus was. Really they need Rodgers to get the likes of Downing and Henderson playing so they can get some sort of return for their money. Thought you suspect they'd do well to see £15m combined for them.
 
Remember Spurs signed VdV like 2 days after the transfer window closed a couple of years ago? How did that work?

Something about submitting certain of the paperwork before the deadline. Not sure if everything has to be completed before the deadline. Sure that wasn't Arshavin though?
 
One'll move wide, they'll switch a bit.

They shouldn't if they want his Swansea form. For Iceland he's pretty much never played behind the striker. Bar 1 or 2 games he hasn't looked like he's supposed to be our best player. Different probably playing for a team that will usually have more possession (which are very few Icelandic games) but we'll see. Dempsey is more used to playing out wide.

He won't be too bad because he's the best long passer/crosser in the team and that can suit the wing role well with a striker like Adebayor up top. That midfield certainly looks like a fluid one.

Oh yea, him too. I think it happened for both of them.
 
I do wish they would condemn the spending of sugar daddy clubs rather than congratulate QPR on signing 25 players in 12 months
 
Seems like Owen is being made to wait til the dust settle and see who got and missed out on who they wanted, or who did or didn't get rid of who they wanted to
 
Still can't work out how Sparky is going to juggle 12 new players in double quick time.

Easy. They'll lose a few games, some of the players will start moaning and Sparky will walk out claiming they didn't match his ambition, or something.
 
Deadline passed.

Its rather stupid getting so many players, some really average ones too. Might as well taken a gradual improvement in quality which in turn allows to ship-in and ship-out players required for the team. It would be a achievement gelling that team.
How is the situation with the home grown players rule?
 
Could be deals not being reported that could still go through. Doubt there will be any exciting ones though.
