When I saw Ali Z's update saying "We expected to do..." my first thought was "WHY IS THIS IN THE PAST TENSE?"

Like, we expected it but now no longer do? I immediately panicked, then calmed down and realized I was reading too much into it.

I swear, days like this is why I need a bottle of whiskey in my file cabinet at work. Look what its done to me.

Because he's not getting any updates today, he provides us with yesterday's info, hence past tense.

Deals can be announced after the deadline as long as all the paperwork is in. Just because it has gone 5pm does not mean it won't be announced later.

We'll probably know if they've applied for an extension.

Like that time you applied for an extension, @easley91, and they turned it down as there "wasn't enough to work with". ;)

I'm joking
@easley91 has got a whopper.
Seriously.
No seriously, it's tiny. Sorry for your loss.

VDV was announced on the day.

Yep. I remember it plainly. It was my first TW on SC and I was new to the whole ordeal. I was ON the site when the ITK came in about him and the place went bananas. Lovely moment, that.

Yeah, that deadline day discussion thread holds the Guinness World Record for the highest use of the word “ratified” since records began.

Domino effect.
Lukaku’s position at Utd is untenable. Inter are in for him right now.
That gives Inter room to sell Icardi, who’s position is also untenable, and is wanted by Juve.
That gives Juve the replacement so they can sell Dybala, who they have made it clear is surplus to requirements.

Maybe that’s why the ITK is so varied, so many moving parts. But there is a clear intention there for all parties to buy and sell the players they want. Just got to wait for the pieces to fall into place.

Got PL deal sheet written all over, agreement on principle just prior to deadline, extension to iron out the fine details.
