I remember sitting through transfer window deadline day and look at the other clubs with envious eyes. Never did I believe that we would be buying and selling ten million pound players! Feels good to know that the envious eyes are now on us. UTT

Well we could have said there'll be a contract offer at the end of it, we just can't actually offer him the deal until January. Valencia have an 'obligation' to sign Negredo at the end of his loan, so we know he's going to be going, but they can't offer him the contract now.

You can offer a contract at any time if the player's current club agrees to it. You can agree future transfers at any time if all 3 parties agree to it. (Ljajic not Tosic)

Negredo will be a future transfer as it was done close to the window and it can be quicker to get the paperwork drawn up and processed for a loan than a permanent.

In any other situation you can approach foreign based players 6 months before the end of their contracts, or other English based (plus Cardiff, Swansea) players 1 month before the end of their contracts.

Great deadline day for Hull

Hull City's transfer deadline day activity was proof of how far manager Steve Bruce has brought the club in a short space of time.

Uruguay striker Abel Hernandez arrived from Palermo in a club record £10m deal while the arrivals of Hatem Ben Arfa from Newcastle United and Gaston Ramirez from Southampton will capture the imagination. Mo Diame's arrival from West Ham United will beef up midfield.

Bruce did a superb job in establishing Hull in the Premier League last season, as well as reaching the FA Cup final, and these deals signpost the new ambition and hope under Bruce, who has a history of being able to persuade big-name players to come to his clubs.

Newcastle didn't want him to go to another EPL club. Ben arfa was adamant that he would only sign for one so was knocking back clubs who offered the toon money for him.

Benny then let it be known that he was happy to stay and fight for his place and that he would be talking to the FA about not letting him train with the first team.

For a pompous overbearing dimwit like Pardew this was bad news. He couldn't have the greatest, most technically gifted player at the club training with the first team because the press would have a field day. It wouldn't just be 52000 geordies shouting for him it would be the national press too.

Especially when his first 11 are not winning. So the toon gave him permission to talk to EPL clubs at around 4pm.

Pardew's in the ****, especially when HBA goes on to re-confirm his qualities with us, the Geordie Nation will string the ****er up, couldn't happen to a nicer bloke ;)
 
The morning after the night before.

Remarkable business yesterday, the calibre of player cannot be sniffed at by anyone. I'll leave the selection headaches to Steve Bruce, rather you than me boss.

Highlight of the day? Oh ok then, Hatem Ben Arfa hanging out the car with a smile as wide as the Humber Bridge on his face, grabbing as many hands as he could, looking like a superstar. If we can get him back to his best, this season could be marvellous.

Bruce is a god or at least a demigod, its clearly not opinion as these deadline day signings scientifically prove it.

True, very true.

Personally I was always confident that Brucey would give us at least some Wigan-like success when he was first appointed, but what he has achieved since he's been here is absolutely mind blowing, and I don't think, not for one second, that even he could have anticipated what has happened during the last couple of years!

For me, some players fit with certain teams, it's exactly the same with managers, Liverpool were a struggling second division side, if I recall correctly, when a certain Bill Shankly was appointed, the rest, as they say, is history.

Could City/Brucey really be the new Liverpool/Shankly? At this moment in time it would be a very foolish man that bet against it!

Definitely this ^ Party!

It was a beautiful thing to watch for any City fan, a truly world class player hanging out of his window, shaking as many hands as he could, whilst beaming his delight at finally getting here/escaping the clutches of the fool that is Pardew. I feel that was the very beginning of what will be a very special episode in the career of a special player at, what the world is starting to realise is a very special club!

He will be all out to show what he can do, just to put 2 fingers up to Pardew. If he does take the EPL by storm again, I don't know whether Pardew will be able to walk the street of Newcastle again.
 
Did anyone wake up this morning expect that all to have been a dream only to have a look and see that it's real?
