Was watching stuff on youtube and 'up next' was Sky Sports live. Very funny watching them try and make 3 transfers sound exciting "it's hotting up, it's all happening now". No it isn't, there's been a loan, a free transfer and Leeds have signed someone nobody has ever heard of. Sky wankers.

When was the last genuinely big transfer deadline day? The last I remember was when Carrol went to Liverpool. Admittedly I haven't followed any for years.

Fulham, I reckon. Presumably he can sign for anyone when he likes as he is a free agent? Although they would have to have a spare squad space for him. Same with Nyland.
looks like They're getting Loftus Cheek. One injury prone midfielder is enough surely?

You're right mate.  The biggest deal today is some washed up 33 year old guy who needs a hair cut.

There is another option available if Sky sports news deadline day is offering elaborate news feeds and not to ones liking.

I think it’s brought some  decent viewing on what would normally be a mundane international break Monday.

This or re-runs of yesterday.

Breaking news from Fulham.  Let's go across to our reporter, who just happens to be in her living room. Cutting edge news!

Typical that my TV broke at about 4pm yesterday. Ordered a new one but isn't due to be delivered until tomorrow. Do Samsung invest in Liverpool FC?

It's just not the same without someone waving a sex toy in the background.

With Jota and Nyland leaving does that free up a spot? Or are we still full?

Absolutely. Or seeing the collection of mutants gathered outside the Stoke ground. Something very sinister in the water up there.

Joachim Andersen joined Fulham on season long loan, Danish CB from Lyon.

Can't grumble at all about this window but think that would've been a really good pick up for us.

Interested how he'll do there as he'll certainly be tested. Was good in Serie A for Sampdoria.

I make it we still have 26 players, excluding Ramsey and any other under-21s. That does include Heaton and Wesley and not sure if they will be back before we can change our registered players again in January.

Would expect someone like Lansbury to go out on loan or even have his contract terminated.

Really entertaining.

If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Simples.

Hopefully. I have nothing against the guy, but he hasn't been of much use to us.
