Transfer deadline day

This is the first one. There are follow on ones which are interesting too.

If true he wants to leave (and no reason to doubt it), I'm more than miffed. Just who does he think he is after what we've done for him. Feel very let down and you'd think we'd be passed feeling that by now.

 

Now QPR being linked to Borini. Not sure I believe that one, I mean I can't recall Harry ever working with him before.

Talking of which, the Mail are reporting Sandro to QPR for £10m. Apparently having his medical.

 

This one is being pushed through as it seems as if Diarra's move fell through. Still, 2 good players to be honest either way. Sandro is a beast.

 

TalkSport just had a "spurs expert" on saying they are trying to push a deal through for Jayrod.

 

That guy's logic is very hard to argue with. Shame he hasn't corrected all the typos! :|

 

The excerpt below is the one that talks about utilising loans to increase the wage cap. This is what seems to be happening now.

More realistically, we are unlikely to blow the entire 67 million all at once. And this is where loan transactions become especially valuable. Assuming, as I do, that we are paying the salaries of the incoming loan players, those amounts increase this year’s salary cap, but, if we do not take the players on a permanent basis, that increase still remains to spend on someone else next year. In fact, there might be a salary cap benefit to taking an expensive player on loan that we will definitely not be keeping permanently so long as he can be some help this year. On the other hand, if we want a player on a permanent basis, we can structure the transfer to occur in the next fiscal year so it doesn’t reduce our net transfer income this year. If my analysis is correct, we are not going to care about the net transfer income in fiscal 2015-2016.

Initially, I was not happy about the decision to sign players on loan. I did not think we should give up our valuable premier league playing time to aid the development of someone else's player. I have changed my mind--especially when we have the option to buy the player. The practice can, and probably will, help the club. In any case, I have a prediction. Barring relegation, we will buy more than we sell next season—including exercising options on loaned players.

Hull City complete the club record signing of Uruguay striker Abel Hernandez from Serie A side Palermo.
Hernandez, 24, who played at this summer's World Cup in Brazil, has signed a three-year deal with a club option of a fourth year.
"Abel is a fantastic signing and highlights just how far the club has come in such a short space of time," says manager Steve Bruce.

Nice replacement for Long then

 

All very quiet at the mo. Zzzzz

 

Only season Hernandez has scored more than 10 goals was in serie b. So similar to Shane long in terms of goal record ...

 

Serie A again. Can he make the transition..?

 

South American from Serie A.

Not liked very much by the Palermo fans. Didn't do a great deal there. Another player with undoubted potential and international pedigree, but still has a lot to prove.

Big gamble, but probably a gamble worth taking.

 

Why does everything take so long. Medical...correct number of legs. Here's your wages..£X per hour, double time bank holidays and Sundays. Sign here. How hard can it be?

 

The guided tour..? An updated version of that DVD is possibly still being shown..? I'm sure there are a host of things being done before the star player refuses to sign.

 

Cant believe the biggest deal hasn't been mentioned yet

Doubt their racist fans will like that. They only want white players.

 

All quiet on the southampton front

 

Yeah but we've tended to get things done when it's seemed quiet...

 

Andrew Surman is off to Bournemouth.

 

When has he ever banged them in
