I did exactly the same with Nathan Jones but came in at under three minutes. 

I remember you saying you were excited at the time.

Imagine what price it'll be by 22:55 tonight 😳

I think the egos and agents of ABK and Sulemana will have undergone something of a reality check in this window.

For those of us who have actual lives to lead, if anyone can give a three line summary of what’s happened today it would be greatly appreciated. 

I got this.

everyone we are potentially signing is underwhelming/ shit / disabled.

everyone we are potentially letting go is the next Haaland / Messi / Pepe. Except for the ones who are actually good who are redefined in the terms used for anyone we are potentially signing.

Are we really moving out today Adams, Mara and Ballard and just getting Stewart? Roberts is for Tella.

4-6-0 formation?

ps

sorry forgetting Tall Paul

Clearly we are getting another striker.

My biggest worry is our CF deficit continues. 
 

The worst case scenario of Adams, Mara and Ballard going and just Stewart coming in is grim indeed.

If Che somehow stays, great. I’d even take Mara staying at a pinch.

But I’m probably being too pessimistic. I assume Ings on loan is fantasy? (Or could we get him for a % of his wages if he is surplus to requirements?)

Is this the day we concede promotion? As things stand, it looks like we will be entering a crucial period of games without a recognised striker.

Be serious. I could maybe see a scenario where Mara goes and then we don't manage to replace him but there's zero chance we let Dpm Ballard go on loan unless we are certain we are going to get someone in to replace him in the squad.

If the speculation around Ballard and Mara is right, I agree that indicates we have other targets. But obviously we need to be sure of the incomings before allowing a swathe of outgoings.

I’d say we are going to look great in every slot apart from perhaps CF. Get that right and I’m a lot more optimistic about promotion.

If we let Adams, Mara and Ballard go, then I’m certain (unless there is a complete fuck up) we’ll bring in Stewart plus another. Could even see 3 in. 

Maybe club thinks Armstrong or Alcaraz can do a job there, Charly has been pretty ineffective so far as a midfielder. 

If Kamaldeen stays (which I don’t think will happen) he can also play through the middle.

Surely tall Paul leaves….surely….please…

Agreed I think but it does concern me we will again leave that area of pitch short of cover. We ideally need someone who can play whilst Stewart gets fully fit.

Won't that be whoever we get in to replace mara and Ballard?

I have faith we’re going to end the window strong, my only concern is what will be or won’t be done by midday to allow anyone to play tomorrow…

I think it’s been a good window so far, but a big day ahead so lots can happen.

My big fear is that it goes wrong in the same way each of the previous 4 windows went wrong - we don’t sign a striker who is good enough. Even more concerning if we lose Adams, of course.

Aside from that, keen to see which of the not good enough ability or attitude we shift: McCarthy, ABK, Aribo, Djenepo, Sulemana, Onuachu, Mara. Maybe Jan. 
Over Land and Sea will hopefully be busy this evening!!

I said I didn’t see him leaving, I thought he would stick around. He didn’t, we sold him, he left, I was incorrect. Move on.
Is there really a basis for bringing up someone’s opinion over and over again?🤣

I remember when you kept bringing up your own opinions when you thought he was staying.

That's me off to play golf and won't be home until around 6pm ⛳ !

It'll save me a lot of heartache looking at this site but bring on a positive outcome on all fronts 😇

ABK to Dortmund is off apparently. Hope Bayern come in for him. 

Maybe the uncertainty around ABK is why the THB deal has gone quiet? 

Bayern back in for Chalobah supposedly

I'm at a festival with sporadic internet connection so it's going to be hard to keep up.

They really should have some sort of deadline day free wifi here.

If KWP stays, I'm opening my last decent bottle of Burgundy, given to me by a mate after I did his driveway.

Strange that Sky Germany reported Dortmund had offered a €6.8m loan fee. Then someone reported we wanted €8m and now it's tumbled to €3.5m. 

There is some bollocks being written on this deal.

When I read a report that a club is out, prior to the window closing, I usually just ignore it. It's probably just the normal ebb and flow of a negotiation.

Absolutely - a swing from 8m to 3.5m is humiliating to say the least. There must be something very unappealing about ABK for him to find himself without a deal on the last day of the window.

There's a deal still to be done with someone on this one.

Any chance you could do my driveway - and bring that bottle of Burgundy with you too......?
