Meh, what ever happens this place has been top notch for entertainment. Top Notch.

At least it's not just us...

FAX UPDATE​

Every year we ask who on earth still uses a fax machine, and every year we get an example. Lazio are the latest team to end up with some fax-related woe.​

​

European writer James Horncastle: "Lazio were also left frustrated tonight, as they saw their deal to sign Brazil Under-20 starlet Felipe Anderson for 7.5m euro collapse because - wait for it - a fax never arrived. Lazio had agreed a fee with the player's club Santos, but because 30% of his rights were held by a third-party, said in Italy to be an English fund, they had to reach an agreement with them too. Lazio apparently offered the fund 30% of Felipe Anderson's future sale. Everything seemed done and dusted. But, according to Lazio's club secretary the paperwork, supposedly required from the fund, didn't turn up in time. Lazio understandably are screaming blue murder."​

Did Levy really think they were going to sell for £13 million... Another bid just to demonstrate 'trying'

I'd love to know why people think these random tweeting freelance journos know anything about these transfers on a 10 minute basis. If Levy is still negotiating, no news is going to have left his very close circle. Hence JJ's post that media outlets usually get onto things hours later.

This.
All media stuff has to be delayed. They make shit up every morning to sell papers, they're hardly going to suddenly have a two-way walkie-talkie connected with every Club Chairman making deals.
Let's just wait and see. Definitely not getting my hopes up. I still have nightmares about the Torres window about 6-7 years ago.

Simon Dawkins to Villa now being talked about on SSN

See how he does, Loan him out. I know he's 23/24 but he had a bit of promise and bad luck with injuries. Or am I confusing him with owen price?

 

[Gedson100]

This is beyond tense.

It's unbelievable really.
The transfer window is like a force of nature where we're involved. Its like a Tsunami forging across the Atlantic with an ETA of 11pm. Only after it hits will we be able to survey the debris and see what is left

 

[Joeyboey]

Am I hard or am I soft. I cannot tell.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

POTL news sounds depressing. If we really really really want Diamo - PAY THE MONEY. We've chased this boy for 3 years!!

 

[RichSpur58]

POTL

We're pushing on Yellow.
One other option also being looked into now.
Unless terms change on terms, we'll end up with nothing.

We will see in an hour where we get to.

JJ done, Andros on loan waiting for paperwork.

POTL

embarrassing, lots of strikers available

 

[the yid]

Diame clause not met by us .....

Please tell us we are get a striker pleeeeaaasseee haha

 

[devastated]

Like he did last year and the year before and the year before that, yep he knows how to deal with Inter all right!!

never mind us not having a clue.............does the club know??

 

[plzsm]

Dont panic, the game of poker has 2 hrs left, we'll get him for around £19-20, inter are just calling our bluff..

 

[Gardham90]

Never want to hear of Damiao again if we don't sign him.

 

[gazzeh]

ok mate - whats the latest on LD?

 

[Rictainment]

i feel like putting my knee through my tv right now wtf is going on

 

[scat1620]

Diame clause not met by us .....

Any striker news at all, JJ? We're desperately light up top if we don't get anyone tonight.

 

[luptic]

my erection for transfer deadline day is fading fast.

 

[WiganSpur]

ITK now points to no one?

 

[ohwhenthespurs]

BBC reporter just said Damiao definitely off for this window. Clubs are 3 to 4 million apart. Maybe try again in summer, but that's it for tonight. The level of certainty he had in committing himself, you know what? I believe him. I'm out.

 

[markiespurs]

Did Levy really think they were going to sell for £13 million... Another bid just to demonstrate 'trying'

Assuming of course that the media have the figure right.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

I think it's becoming pretty apparent we will be ending the night empty handed tonight

 

[mark87]

Dont panic, the game of poker has 2 hrs left, we'll get him for around £19-20, inter are just calling our bluff..

19 or 20 quid? thats more like the Danny boy we all know!

2052:

​

EUROPEAN LATEST
European football expert Andy Brassell: "That big transfer from Ukraine to Russia is on the brink of being sealed, with Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu talking about Willian's imminent exit to Anzhi Makhachkala for £30m.
"'This is his personal decision that we must respect" Lucescu told reporters after Shakhtar's friendly win over CSKA Moscow. "It's probably very strong pressure from his agent and friends. And in the end we could not resist. Instead of the dream of a strong club from the English league, Willian chose money. I'm sorry, but, I repeat, it is his right.'"

So much for wanting to challenge himself and come EPL. Another merchant.
​

 

[walton]

Fuck everyone in the eyes! If we've really only offered 13m for Leandro then I'm going to Levy towers to piss through his letterbox. Regardless of what he's worth, this is well below what they'd accept and every fucker knows that.

 

[Breezer]

Diame clause not met by us .....

Still hopeful on damiao?
