Cheers Tramore.

Keeper - done!

Defensive midfielder (Diarra) - almost done.

Left back (the Croatian fella) - hope it was more than a rumour.

Striker (Lens) - Get it done! Defoe only a smokescreen imo.
 
From LFW:
12.14 Toothy McTooth says QPR are in for Liverpool striker Fabio Borini on loan, potentially scuppering a move to Sunderland. Sunderland seem to be the big winners in that. And Liverpool.
 
Borini would be a terrible signing. Very similar player to Austin but less good in the air and less pace. Sunderland and Liverpool win the transfer window

I don't understand why Liverpool would loan us Borini when they could sell him to Sunderland for 14m

Borini' been to Sunderland for a years loan. Do you really think he would want to live there permanently? ;)

Liverpool are very keen to sell for £14m, problem is he has hesitations.

Bit from HR on 'cheap' Diarra deal

01/09/2014
By David McIntyre

Harry Redknapp says Lassana Diarra is taking a huge pay cut in order to sign for QPR today.

Diarra, 29, played under Rangers boss Redknapp at Portsmouth and yesterday snubbed a late approach from Roma after agreeing a one-year deal at Loftus Road and completing a medical.

The midfielder, who has also played for Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea, has left Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow and is keen to move back to London.

His signing is one of a number of deals organised by Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes ahead of the transfer deadline.

Redknapp wants to make a number of signings today

And Redknapp said: “It was a cheap deal for the club – a great deal – and the chairman’s done a fantastic job.

“Diarra just wanted to come and play here and, without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I think he wanted to come back and play for me.

“He enjoyed his time with me at Portsmouth and I enjoyed my time with him so he really wanted to come here.

“There were other clubs in for him but he said to me ‘It’s not the money, I want to play here.’”

Diarra left Pompey to join Real in 2009. He subsequently moved to Russia, spending a year with Anzhi Makhachkala before Lokomotiv signed him in 2013.

Agree. Lets hope so about Lens and Defoe. Don't understand what we want with another injured, injury prone, getting old striker, and I don't mean Lens.

We did well to get McCarthy. I've read Liverpool wanted him.
 
From the clubs official deadline day blog:

Seems a Twitter parody account has caught out one or two of the national press. We've been getting one or two calls from journalists inquiring about the arrival of former loanee Will Keane. One of the funnier moments today.


What? Don't they rate young Will? :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
More on the spoof David McIntyre twitter account. Some fun in a so far quiet day.

LFW:
As we come up to the headlines on the hour, behold the standard of reporting on transfer deadline day from Duncan Wright, head of online sport for the Star and the Express, who picked up a Tweet from the spoof Dave McIntyre account about QPR bidding £3.75m for Man Utd striker Will Keane, and reported it immediately as fact, while also getting his position wrong. Well played Duncan. Well played.

David Pratintyre @davemcintyrewls
BREAKING: Manchester United accept £3.75m bid from QPR for Will Keane. 4 year deal. Player's medical imminent....

Duncan Wright @dwright75
More talk around #QPR with a £3.75m bid for #MUFC defender Will Keane accepted according to trustworthy @davemcintyrewls

LFW: The Daily Mail the latest paper to pick up the spoof Will Keane story and run with it. See, we weren't kidding when we said they don't check this stuff.



Embarassing reporting :emoticon-0172-mooni :emoticon-0137-clapp:emoticon-0140-rofl:
