BREAKING NEWS

Sky sources have told our colleagues at Sky in Germany that Chelsea have had a bid rejected by Bayern Munich for right-back Rafinha.

Sky taking the piss a bit with the definition of BREAKING NEWS - not only reporting something that happened (and was reported) yesterday, but repeating their own feed as well.

WBA to sign Pants

Sanches to Swansea on loan is a DONE DEAL!

[stokeriño]

It would seem that Chelsea's traditional out-of-nowhere-deadline-day-signing is... Davide Zappacosta, for about £25m.

HE CAN PLAY WING-BACK THAT'S ALL THAT FUCKING MATTERS  

[Lineker]

Renato Sanches to Swansea is done. What a coup for them.

Cheers, scoop.

40 minutes in between as well. Quality journalism.

Its what I pay my license fee for.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it... None of the big transfers are going to happen apart from Mahrez to somewhere and Llorente to Spurs (if that isn't already confirmed); Sanchez, Coutinho, Van Dijk, Evans, Lemar and all the others I'm forgetting don't move.

[Hobo]

Is Marcus Bent still available?

[Kaney]

Am I silly to hope we get Mahrez?

Yes because he's bloody inconsistent. Mind, in a team of better players he'd probably be a fit because someone can pick up the slack he lets off.

The Mirror and Telegraph are reporting that Arsenal are now happy to pay as much as £90m for Thomas Lemar.

@Matt Leeds have signed Pierre-Michel Lasogga, given he was linked to top level clubs two years ago, thatcould be a massive coup.

I find it interesting the difference between football and american football with relation to transfer/trade windows. We all look forward to transfer deadline day whereas NFL fans look forward to the day the teams are allowed to trade again. Fascinating dynamics.

But I thought there wasn't any money for players? >_>

That was all but confirmed yesterday, just some minor hold up with paperwork. 

 

He's a strange one, he was highly rated and even called up to the German national squad but had to pull out due to injury. On the other hand he seems to have stagnated in the past couple of seasons, hopefully that's due to not being able to get a consistent run in the side at Hamburg and a move away will rejuvenate his career. Still a loan with an option to buy is a relatively safe gamble for a player of his potential quality.

I got happy because we signed a defender (Harry Toffolo from Norwich) on top of bringing Jordan Houghton back from Chelsea today, but then it turned out Toffolo has only signed because our recently signed first choice left back Danny Andrew is going to be out for the season

[Lineker]

Annoyingly, Jadon Sancho is going to Dortmund. 

Murmurs that we are in talks with Barcelona over Andre Gomes.
