Scott Hogan - retired

[Risso]

We're a big club. We go by our watch.

Like everything at the club it's slow and behind everyone else.

Mickey Mouse got an Aston Villa watch for Christmas, etc...

The manager is saying we've signed him, so I would hope we have.

[adrenachrome]

Sky said that the deal was close that was about half an hour ago.

In the immediate pre-match interview on Sky Sports, SB confirmed the signing.

Better hope he signs, the last striker to score for us was Kod before he went to the AFCoN,

Still 50 mins left of the Scottish transfer window. Maybe Clyde have made a late bid for Hogan

That article is just repeating what the managers said before the game. Seems strange they both talked as though it's a done deal and yet neither club has announced it as an official transfer.

[Villafirst]

I really don't know....if the deal is signed or not?? We have one out of form striker left as it stands. Three strikers off loaded, RHM banished, Gabby crocked. Be par for the course if the deal doesn't happen!

So long as they don't go for McCormack.

Apparently if you've filled out deadline day transfer form and the player has signed it you've got till 1am to complete the deal.

That's a Premier League rule, if you've got that info from watching Sky. I don't know if it applies to our division.

Yeah, from Sky. Can't remember if they said it was exclusively a PL rule.

[Risso]

So we've now spent nearly £40m on strikers this season.  I do hope we start scoring some goals soon.

He didn't.  He said it was close.

They mentioned it being "Premier League Rule..." followed by a number. They never said it was exclusively a Premier League rule or that a similar arrangement is in place for the Football League, so I don't know.

I'd imagine they'd have said the deal was off if we definitely hadn't got it through in time. Dunno though.

One thing I have noticed about sky is that the Championship doesn't appear to exist.  They were going to a reporter at man citeh even though they've known there would be no signings there for days.

Here we go...
