Deadline day thread..

Indeed.....It depends on how you look at it. You'd have thought it would be the 1st option.

Not if they’re taking Premier League players on loan.

 

[Davalon]

Aaron Mooy signs new 3 year deal with Hudds but goes on season long loan to league above.

Random.

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Palace rejected 70m plus 2 players for Zaha. Im done

 

[S64 Blade]

If they were smart enough they'd have sold him for that and brought in Benrahma and still had £50m in the bank.

If he’s a success they protect his transfer value.

Or Ismaila Sarr.

They really shouldn't have refused him a move like they have. He's been a great servant and given them his best years.

 

[grafikhaus]

There losses last year would have been close to the 3ry limit on it's own. By selling it, it's effectively given them a "free" year. All the other costs remain in place, for now. (Although Joao will have generated a profit.

Don't worry. If FFP gets close they'll sell D Taxis, Elev8, BK Balloons etc. to generate a 'paper' profit. We can all see what's going on, pity the EFL can't.

I think another offer will come in. Just can't see it being in anyone's interest to keep Zaha there. I'm sure he's a pro but it's really not going to create a fantastic atmosphere is it.

 

[Joe Boltons Left Foot]

i hope he sulks for the first two weeks of the season at least

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Funny thing is one of the players was McCarthy who they signed for 7m alone anyway haha!

 

[robbiez666]

Great signing for Leeds. They finally have a striker and arguably the best one in the league.

Are you implying there is something suspect about their entirely legitimate and 100% exist-y businesses?

The rumour is Everton offered him £200k pw. I’d be surprised if he’s on more than half that at Palace. Imagine waking up every day thinking you could be £15k better off that day if you were playing for another club. Every day - that’s another £15k I’m not getting.
Actually I can’t even imagine it, it’s so far removed from my life.

I'd probably wreck the training ground and have a shit in the centre circle if someone stopped me earning £200k a week, so fair play Zaha

 

[Ricky]

'We tried for one or two but unfortunately our fax machine has broken and we wouldn't have had time to produce the social media unveiling videos anyway, so we go with what we've got but there's not always the loan window'


Fuck off McCabe, fuck off Birch, fuck off Brannigan

Same owd, same owd.

Yeah, I’d certainly shit in the sink, call Roy a senile old twat and punch a player I didn’t like much.

 

[JayGreen17]

Big missed opportunity if we don’t get that other loan in....and end up stuck with Lunny

 

[OnmiEdson]

So who will end up being number 13
Number 21 and number 24 if nobody else sleeps through the door
Personally I haven’t got a Scooby

 

[guancheblade]

Perhaps there's some basis for waiting until JTW for second loan. See how the current squad actually copes having played every team in the league at least once and take it from there.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Been watching SSN and Deadline Day on and off all day. If ever there was a distilled version of The Cult of the Premier League and the media love in, it's this. Same 7 or 8 stories all day long - The big names are pretty much the only thing covered on repeat hour after hour. Can feel that I'll be watching the season unfold through gritted teeth this year.

Come on, they did have a 2min update from Shirecliff at about 11 o'clock.

 

[mcbladeface]

It's the first time in a while I've actually sat and watched one on telly. Being told repeatedly how exciting the day was going to be and then midway through watching 10 minutes of some tosser in an ill-fitting suit reading out tweets from people watching the show who feel the need to explain how they were watching the show and provide photographic evidence.

Christ. Actually drove me to go and clean the oven.

 

[Blade56]

In normal parallel universes I get my hopes up, watch the deadline day telly and at about 4:59pm reality and disappointment set in and I start shouting at the TV. Will today be different?
You bet your ass it will.

Well I should learn to keep my stupid gob shut. Lunny will be counting his blessings

 

[Stanthemanfan]

Has Duffy gone? Just had a text gone to stoke on loan

 

[Ricky]

I think we can declare Holgate and Matt Phillips dead.

 

[Beans]

I think we can declare Holgate and Matt Phillips dead.

Jesus, what happened to them?!

 

[HydeParkBlade]

I think we can declare Holgate and Matt Phillips dead.

Awful news. RIP.

 

[BladeInIreland]

RIPTTL

This is what happens when you try and rush a medical.
