I think if we sign anyone other than Stambouli or Schneiderlin tomorrow it will probably be some poor lost soul from a Ukranian team, bound to be some non-ukranian players available on loan for feck all.. someone like Douglas Costa might do a job AS LWF until J Rod could be signed in January

Dealing with ukranian team is so complicated, i don't think a deal can be finished very quickly

So we're starting the day with thoughts of Nastasic, Tevez, Welbeck and Schneiderlin.

By 11pm tonight it'll be all linking arms and crossing fingers and cupping ourselves as we beg, tears streaming down our faces, for a one month loan deal for Richard Dunne.

God, I love Deadline Day. And yes I am capitalising it. I love it that much. Sod you.

I have an idea!!!!!!! We take Nastasic and we give the sheikh a 3rd DP for his new MLS venture in Younes Kaboul. There. Kaboul and Fryers go. Nastasic comes. Sheikh improves his MLS team. Works out for all parties.

Okay, I give up. Spent 10 minutes trying to come up with alternatives to "Double Penetration" but I'm left thinking I now understand football's sudden surge in popularity in the States.

Hahah. Designated Player. The only players owned by the clubs and not MLS. Each club can only have 3. Right now NYCFC has 2; Lampard and Villa. Hence my suggestion to the sheikh that Kaboul could be a 3rd. A forward, mid and defensive designated player. Balance. Allows him to sell Nastasic to a non rival. And we improve our defense. Works out for all parties.

Tidy. Cheers.

Wonder if City need another defender if they're to let Nastasic go.

On the other ITK, United certainly need another attacker before they'd let Welbeck leave. They're still quite a few short of the 25-man limit, which I found surprising given their activity. But rumours now coming in that they've bid silly money for Falcao. Bless. They really are the comedy club that keeps on giving.

Still, that would certainly make them more likely to ship off dat guy, or - as he will now be known for today - DG.

With what's going on in Ukraine, loan moves could be done quickly
