Apparently Real Madrid, Bayern, Dortmund and Barcelona wanted him. 

It's like our successful pursuit of Stewart Downing all over again. 

[Dr Nowt]

Any chance we may be able to pay Wee-Bey Brice to roll what’s left of Karius up in an old carpet and leave him out for the bins at 23:01?

I always have to remind myself that Downing isnt a nonce like Adam Johnson.

Those heady days when our team was packed with top class talent.

Wonder if we’ve dropped moneyball from our transfer strategy. Having seen the film, you would’ve thought we’d be all over Dembele otherwise.

300k a week Dembele?

 

The problem with moneyball is you have to first get it, in order to play it...

It’s a guilty secret that I’m still conflicted now as to whether I’d preferred we signed Johnson or Downing.

Who cares? Comoli made an absolute hash of transfers. We've a far better backroom staff in place now and Ive no doubt we use analytics to identify our targets and probably do it better than almost any club.

 

city and chelsea just throw money indiscriminantly at transfers. Lots of trumpet blowing about city buying the next big thing from South America for £17m. They are probably the only ones in for him prepared to pay that upfront while not disclosing any 'add ons.'

 

chelsea bid for that trouble maker dembele at Barcelona when they have plenty of attacking option.

What the fuck are Arsenal playing at? They could have reintegrated him back into the team and got a fee for him in the summer. 

£27.5 million in wages

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Decent day's business for Bournemouth.

[Anubis]

EFL have reportedly rejected our request for a 2hr extension to do the paperwork on Carvalho.

Revenge for us postponing the first leg against Arsenal.

[Wezza]

I see Cantwell has gone to Bournemouth- the lure of Phillips I guess 

[chrisbonnie]

so does anyone know whether the kid from Fulham has been signed or not?

Rumours it’s off because EFL don’t do deal sheets like the PL. 

[Anubis]

The way forward is clear. We win the Carabao Cup and melt the fucking thing down in revenge.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

He will be here come July only now we will have all the clickbait bollocks over someone else signing him.

You sure?

 

A deal sheet is an application to the Premier League or EFL which stipulates a transfer has been agreed between two clubs and the player in question’s representatives, if approved clubs then receive an extension to the transfer deadline in order to complete administrative details.

 

These extension may be utilised in the final two hours of the transfer window, which affords clubs an additional two hours to dot the Is and cross the Ts on the acquisition of a player.

 

Should a club apply for an extension beyond the 11pm deadline, the transfer will fall through as the Premier League or EFL’s Board must receive the deal sheet prior to when the window would ordinarily have shut.
