Transfer Deadline Day ***OFFICIAL*** Thread

[FalmerforAll!**]

In fairness, we have always been guilty of 'last minute' dealings, not that it is the club's fault as someone above said - often the agents tend to use offers made by clubs to get more money from another, hence why it is done at the last minute to allow as much time for this to occur as possible.

As well as this, some of our last minute signings have been brilliant! Who remembers Baz Savage?

 

[Finchley Seagull]

okay i was just saying

Why the need to say it constantly though? Fair enough you don't think we will sign anyone but why say it about fifteen times in this thread alone. We have made a lot more and better signings than most teams at this level so be pleased with what we have got so far and hope for more today rather than moaning all the time.

okay im sorry

Hleb to Birmingham

Hleb to Birmingham

Great signing, technically a superb player. Could build a side around him.

 

[Sam Ovett]

New players brought in:
Ankergren
Barnes
Battipiedi
Baz
Bridcutt
Greer
Kishishev
Painter
Poke
Sparrow
LuaLua (Most definitely)
Calderon (Sort of...)

A long list, with only one real issue, but he has only played one game, in the cup, and he must be good if he helped Torquay to that many clean sheets last season. Some people seem to forget we have brought in a lot of quality

From BBC:

1301: Reports coming in that Rotherham have turned down a bid from Plymouth Argyle for lower league hotshot Adam Le Fondre

Is anyone watching Sky Sports News?

I dont know whether I am being really stupid, but the correspondent at Man City was talking about the Robinho move to Milan and referred to City affectively making a profit on the player because they would be saving money on his wages since he has a 3 year contract on approx 130k a week.

Is that not a ridiculous statement to make, would anyone class saving money on a players wages as a contribution to a profit on a a transfer fee?

If he's not going to play for the club - then (technically) yes - the player contract becomes loss-making otherwise. Not a profit overall, but from where you stand now it's profitable to get a little cash and save costs

have I missed something...who is Bridcut?

 

[Sam Ovett]

have I missed something...who is Bridcut?

signed him on Friday. Ex-Chelsea reserve captain, only 21 on a 5 month contract. He can play defensive midfield and apparently provides cover for full-backs.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Matt Phillips moved from wycombe to blackpool for an initial fee of 325k... good young player, astute signing by holloway.

 

[Springal]

Released by Chelsea, got him on a 5 month contracts. Looks like a Navarro replacement. Was on loan at Stockport for a while and got sent off against us at Withdean in 2009

 

[BrickTamland]

Leeds have signed ANOTHER STRIKER some Honduran international, just came up on Sky news didn't catch his name though

Well, thank you. Don't see how people can be negative with this great squad that Gus has assembled. It is brilliant
