If this is true, then hopefully a deal can still be done. Getting those two done will open up room for others I think. I can't see how we can repeat the mistakes of last year and not address the weakness in our squad. We haven't won in 4 games, Everton are on the march and Liverpool have strengthened.
I reckon the outgoings hold the key to any signings, squad is not balanced, but is at the limits in terms if numbers. Offloading fringe players will allow us to make the right signings without over committing.
I think Jenas and Bentley will be resolved. Huddlestone, not so sure on. Surprised at Damaio though, since we were haggling over a couple of hundred thousand on Holtby and were only looking at loan to buy on Negredo. Either we really are short of cash, so have we really bid £20 for Damaio, or was Levy just playing hardball on Holtby because he knew he already had him wrapped up, and is reluctant to commit on Negredo because he is deemed not to be an alternative not a first choice option??

A lot of ITK suggests we have too big a wage bill so getting fringe players off tyhe wage bill is very good (and gets us more compliant with FFP riules). We probably have enough cash for limited transfer fees - probably more than Everton (who have been skint for years)

Is there a way you can make individuals have read only rights on this thread? It is jammed packed with spam (ironically now including this post).

I think usually when someone loses their access, they can still read but not post. But Rob's just reset things so anyone kicked out today is, in the words of Micky Flanagan.......Out Out.

I think that's right anyway.

This is great an' all, but does anyone get the feeling the even 'respectable' journo's peddle bullshit and wild speculation on deadline day in order to attract traffic and gain follows?

It's just like a massive free for all with everyone, even the beeb, regurgitating the same old shit without scrutinizing the info or bothering to check its accuracy.

I'm officially hooked now, text has gone out to the wife telling her i'll be back from work late.
Want/Need the extra couple of hours woman free to focus on TDLD.

Can't imagine LD will happen, just hoping we get one of JJ or DB off the wage bill, anything extra is a bonus.

Graham to Sunderland confirmed, so he won't win the League Cup

Interesting for us: Agent Bentley/ Jenas can do the important business now ;)

Seems all v.strange to me it seems v.much like the THFC PR machine is working its magic we tried for Damiao but we couldn't get it done....Moutinho deal went exactly like this!! i don't expect it to be done its been called by most as being a dead duck and suddenly on the final day its alive....i will not fall for this one as i did the Moutinho SAGA....PR stunt for the fans to stop a inevitable backlash if we do not sign anybody....or get Kenwyn Jones as the back up plan!!o_O
