I know it's a lot of money, and it's probably not the position that Arsenal need to strengthen the most (I'm amazed they haven't brought in a CB and a striker) but Arsenal have got themselves one hell of a player there and I cannot wait to see him play. Makes you wonder though, apparently Madrid seem to think Bale is £40m better than Ozil, just seems barmy if you ask me. I wonder how much a 24 year old Ryan Giggs would be worth in today's market?
Tweet from EDP website from McNally - "No incoming players for #ncfc tonight, all of the work completed earlier in the Summer @NorwichCityFC" Didn't see your earlier post beef!!!
I think West Sham wanted a transfer fee for Vaz Te and not just loan him out, I'm glad we didn't sign him though I wouldn't have been against bringing him in on loan as cover for six months or so. I would have really liked Nick Powell on loan, but I'm certainly not grumbling that we've not signed anyone today, the superb business that we have done this summer will do very nicely thanks
By the way, no signings for 'arry today? That's got to be a first, it's not a proper transfer deadline day without at least one interview from out his car window.
As Granty Holts has just put it on twitter, can someone please, please get Joe-"Judge me on my signings"-Kinnear on a telephone interview...
Didn't catch the name, but Palace have confirmed their 16th summer signing, coming from Forest. That's an awful lot of players to bed in.
If Fellaini is ManUre's only big signing this window then I personally reckon they've got no chance of retaining the title this season. They should have signed him weeks ago before that minimum fee release clause expired and then concentrated on a top, top quality centre-midfielder. Very poor from them in my opinion, they'll come out of this looking stupid. At least after all the drama Arsenal managed to smash their transfer record and bring in one of the best players on the planet on his position.
Man Utd making a late loan bid for Fabio Coentrao??? Allegedly Fellaini will go through, not sure that's enough though.
