Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[DB]

Well that's that...but don't we find out who our new owner is tomorrow? So excited.....

Very, very disappointing from Villa. I hate Lambert and Lerner with a passion and cannot wait for the day that they both fuck off and the club is returned to something that resembles a club for Villa fans to be proud of.

I think secretly most of us knew no one new would becoming in today.

[Villa in Denmark]

Suprisingly Arsenal get an extention to put Welbeck deal through.  What were the chances of that happening?

It's been in the rules for a while.

If a deal is agreed in principle, but awaiting the last details to be agreed on the contract, after 9pm you can register a deal sheet, to get up to 1am to register the final contracts and registration paperwork.

The only positive outcome is that they might do away with this stupid circus.

That is what I hope happens.

I am sufficiently childish to say I actually find it funny, mind.

I did a live at a cup semi final at Wembley, was surrounded by Citeh fans. One of them spent the whole sixty seconds I was on air gobbing at the back of my head. I finished with saliva running down my neck.

It made YouTube and I guess if you weren't me it was pretty funny, but I'll never agree to a job like that ever again.

How close did you come to windmilling wildly into them?

Not very. There were lots of them, they were very pissed and it was on a bit of a knife edge between 'banter' and physical assault

We're The Villa.
We live in hope.
Shrug at the inevitable...

It could be worse, we could be Leeds United.

Take a look at this.

This evening at 9.49pm:

Don't go to bed just yet...there is still work to be done #DeadlineDay #lufc

They then sell two strikers and buy nobody. Then at 11pm:

Leeds United FC @LUFC  ·  40m
After a busy last hour that is us done for the 2014 Summer Transfer Window #DeadlineDay #lufc

The transfer window is closed

Yep and SSN had Big Ben chiming on the screen to prove it.  I just wonder if the presenters at any point thought how ridiculous it all was. 

Heard an interesting point made on Talksport earlier tonight.  Some journo (or might have been an agent) said that he is yet to meet anyone involved in football at any level who thinks the transfer window is a good idea.  He said it is particularly hard on promoted clubs, as the manager needs to see how the players who got them promoted cope in the next league up and if they don't and are in relegation trouble by Christmas, noone wants to go there in January.

Not entirely a surprise no additions today.  Like others I never craved TC but I think he would have given us something. I do believe the signings we have made will improve if not excite us.  What gets me is that for the 3/4 the transfer window we have done little while lesser clubs (in my opinion) put their hands in their pockets and sign players - in many cases above their apparent weight. One day soon we will pay for this approach.

Really pleased with the 7 points so far but let's see what it looks like at the end of September

It was when hull got an extension to complete their signings that I knew it was all a big club southern conspiracy

I can't stand it either.

the best bit of transfer deadline day is the wit and humour exhibited on this website
