Transfer Deadline Day Thread!

[Nads]

if Torres does sign for Chelsea, will he be eligible to play against us tomorrow night?

I THINK he'd have to sign by 5 to be eligible, someone may be able to clarify.

 

[monty's fingertips]

if all the striker moves happen - who are the winners and who are the losers?

NUFC lose Carroll gain £30 million
LFC lose Torres gain Suarez and Carroll
CFC gain Torres
AVFC gain Bent
SAFC lose Bent gain £18-24 millon

With the silly money being quoted for strikers will Sess prove an inspired buy and Bruce look like like a genius or should we be joining in the game?

It seems Newcastle really want to copy our every move.

I mean, we were knocked out the cup, they got knocked out the cup. We loose our *cough cough* "best" striker, they loose theirs.

Lets just hope they dont manage to copy us when we get into Europe

 

[trouble_n_stripes]

Kevin Nolan has driven Carroll aross to the NW for talks? 35m is crazy.

I can only think this is why Bruce was just looking for someone as basically short term cover on the cheap as it's obvious to try for someone decent would mean paying over the odds, I think Bruce will definately go for a striker for the long term in the summer when the prices aren't so ridiculous.

I'd say EVERYBODY wins on this.

Every selling club has got GREAT money.
Every buying club has got a player that will vastly improve them.

I honestly think we are better without Bent, but with Sessegnon and Muntari, if those 2 help us into Europe, we can aim so much higher for a striker in the summer.

People like Gignac, Huntelaar etc who are pipe dreams right now, could be possible.

Bruce and Niall are well aware of this

 

[Keane prods the giant]

Was told liverpool's suarez bid fell through - is that correct? Or are they after both Suarez and Carroll?

 

[dickmalonespecial]

interesting stat on sky - if Liverpool pay £35million for Andy Carroll they are getting a player outscored in the Championship last season by Peter Whittingham, Nicky Maynard, Gary Hooper, Michael Chopra and Charlie Adam.

I hope he does play! dont want Chelsea making excuses about getting beat tomorrow night by not having their best players!!!

While i agree with your sentiments, i'd rather he didn't!

It'd be a massive lift for them, clearly, to be handing a debut to a true world class star, they can say they were weakened all they like, we want points and a possible trip to Warsaw in the europa!

Suarez has been signed as far as I know...

 

[kirkyboy]

SSN - uncnfirme reports that newcastle and liverpool have agreed a fee of £35 million +!!!!!!

 

[Do the Asamoah Dance]

Reports that Stevey Irelands move to Newcastle is off.

The Editor: The Times is reporting that Stephen Ireland's proposed loan move to Newcastle is off.

Not going well for them today is it?

 

[trouble_n_stripes]

SSN say Suarez will wear No7 for L'pool so assumed he's signed for them, also odds slashed that Charlie Adam could join Man Utd!

 

[trouble_n_stripes]

Second bid for Carroll now rejected by the mags, should we have done the same for Bent, as I think we should have tried for more.

 

[Ballin' Boy]

Ireland has failed a medical. Good grief. And just read that Liverpool's improved bid has been rejected. What on earth is going on?

 

[psycho]

Bit 'star spotting' for you lads.

Sessegnon has just moved into our building(The club owns 4 apartments in the block, Anton, Rio, Elmo, Mensah, Bent and Gyan have all lived/do live here at some point)

Massive dearstalker hat on, and carrying a quilt, haha.

He's about 2 foot tall!

That the echo 24 building like mate?
