Dirty Deals Done Dirt Cheap? Deadline Day

Cahill might move as not getting much gametime

My point was both Sterling and Berahino are over-valued.

Newcastle have been turned down on 21 million; as always - it’s what the market will bear. I don’t blame WBA for holding onto Berahino; they’ll be held to ransom on any deal for a replacement and might not see too much change out of that money.

I don’t give a fuck what happens in the next few hours…no one got a better deal than we did with Charlie Austin.

When the media do their Top 10 transfer window review in a few hours we’ll be top, no doubt.

The reason for that, apparently, is that WBA were not keen to let him go to another team near the bottom of the table.

Fair enough. Hadn’t considered that factor but it makes a lot of sense. One does wonder whether it’ll backfire, as he ponders the prospect of earning tens of thousands of pounds a week over the next window. Maybe he’ll sign a new deal just for the cash after the window closes.

United showed the way with De Gea, and it’s win win for everyone apart from potential suitors.

Nor will they sell to Spurs, possible ever again, such is the “impression” their previous dealings left with Peace, the WBA chairman.

Journo on Talk Shite has it from “an impeccable source” that Newcastle have offered £24 million cash, for Berahino. No installments.

Ashley has suddenly realised what next year in the prem is worth.

Poll on the BBC has us well ahead of the rest in ‘deal of the window’

Thanks - just voted! It was a good deal already, but scoring within minutes of coming on made this vote a dead cert!

Have we splashed the cash yet??

According to Ronald nothing to see here today :smile:

Maybe Sky will have to employ Harry for some quotes out of his car ?

On a related note, one of my windows at home needs replacing. Who do the FA get theirs from? At the end of every transfer period, the window always slams shut and I could do with a robust replacement.

I’m very tempted to:-

a) Make a sign which says “Hands off our players, #lfc - love #saintsfc
b) Nip up to Anfield and stand behind Sky reporter

Can’t stand it, Sky hype it up to no end.

If you’re panic buying now then you really are fucked as a club.

And hereare the BBC’s idea about the 10 men who could move today!!

Quoteth the Koeman

"Maybe one of our young players like Jack Stephens or Harrison Reed, to let them play on loan, maybe that will happen today but not other big business.

“We did our job and I think if you have to do your job, or any big business, today then in my opinion you are nervous or you do not know what you have to do, because in my opinion it is a little bit late.

“I mentioned several times, we did our job with Charlie Austin and nobody will leave the club in January.”

Echoes what I said above I think, me and RoKo on the same page, who would have thunk it?

Southampton are reportedly in for late transfer deadline day move for Arsenal’s Oxlade Chamberlain http://thesun.uk/6012BZduj (Source: SUN)

Loan move, apparently.

New reports claim Southampton have made an approach to re-sign the midfielder, who progressed through their youth academy before joining Arsenal as a teenager in 2011.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s potential may still be vast but he is struggling to fulfill it given that he rarely manages to get into Arsenal’s team these days. He’s made 20 Premier League appearances this season, 12 of which have come as a substitute.

Ronald Koeman’s side would surely be able to offer the England international regular game time but would Wenger even consider letting Oxlade-Chamberlain leave? Or would a temporary spell on the South Coast help the 23-year-old’s development?

Hilarious. Never going to happen.

Would certainly take him, but think the chances are as good as zero.
