11pm I believe, mate.

Cheers. No real need to book the Tuesday off if that's the case then.

 

[knilly]

Thank you, that's the correct answer.

Can you imagine how weird it will be if we get all our signings tied up early and sign no-one on deadline day? (Mwhahaha, and you can't optimistic rate me!)

i will still have skysports on with multiple tabs open on the laptop waiting for the next VDV type signing

I'm actually planning my holiday so I don't miss deadline day. That's incredibly sad, right?

I booked off the 2nd of september a few weeks back im preparation for deadline day!! even if we are not involved atall I still LOVE deadline day!! pure madness throughout the whole day!!

And, while I always hope spurs complete all their signings we plan for well before the season starts, a huge part of me (childish side) will always be disappointed if we dont buy anyone on deadline day

I am having surgery on August 12 th, and will be off work for 6 weeks. So, I get 3 weeks pre-deadline day and 3 weeks post- deadline day to be depressed or elated ( provided, of course that I survive the operation, or else it will be a real DEADline).

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Sorry A&C, I have to do it.
We may be on the verge of making a signing or two, but not the cusp.
After the cusp , the moment is gone.
It's a common misuse of the word "cusp".
Please don't hate me, but I feel I have to keep you on the straight and narrow ( especially with your tendency towards deviancy ).

Meh, after we've announced it, the moment is gone

Yep... "Clubs will have an extra two days to complete their summer business with the window closing at 2300 BST on Monday, 2 September." - http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/transfers

Good luck with the surgery, Gs... Hopefully you don't get it cancelled 2 days before it's due, like I did ..

I can survive 6(ish) hours sleep before work.

I do like the idea of Livermore out on loan to a PL club.

Would be good to see what he can do for a season when he gets a good run of games. Dont think he will be a starter for us, but a squad player or hopefully just increase his value

Norwich is my bet

Just read jasper's itk. Some great bits of info but I have to disagree with one thing.
I've spoken to someone at Spurs and asked about Fryers. He's nowhere near ready to replace BAE so I doubt we will observe to see if he's good enough just now. If we really are selling BAE I hope we have a left back lined up ASAP. Just because Rose is not good enough to play left wing doesn't automatically mean you play left back. He has a lot to learn defensively and we don't have time to train a player to play left back.

Rose played left back one year at Sunderland and showed in my opinion that he is at least a good alternative. I think it sounds plausible to start pre season with Fryers and Rose. Fryers gets a chance to impress.
And in late August we can look which left back is available for a decent price. Maybe even Coentrao?

For Sunderland! A team who was nearly relegated! What's the point in signing paulinho, villa etc etc and playing Danny rose left back! Come on seriously.... We might as well keep BAE at left back because he's 100 times better than rose. Would Danny Rose play left back for the other top 4 teams? Liverpool? Everton? NO!

Ah but you're forgetting that deals are still being ratified & announced for a couple of hours after the 'deadline clock' has counted down, or even longer if Arseanal want to re-sign Arshavin & Levy wants to re-sign VdV

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Last time I was on holiday during the end of the Summer window I had to walk 2 miles to an internet cafe in the middle of some tiny village in Turkey...it was worth the wait though to see Van der Vaart had signed.

Hopefully Levy can make my holiday as good as the last

I'll just check them in the morning. Finish at 12.30, so anything more that gets announced I'll find out then.

Just echoing what Coopsie said. All the best mate, hope it all goes smoothly!

 

[y1dk1d]

Talking about deadline day already because we know the ways of our bald-headed leader. Aaahh we are a sad lot, the window isn't even open yet!!!
