Deadline day thread (other clubs)

Gill and Ferguson - almighty losses for them.

[Chazza]

The Mancs I know are not happy:-

'Fellaini not what we want or need'

'Why are we not in for Ozil?'

'Never would have left it this late under Fergie'

'Woodward is a clueless idiot'

Emile Heskey @HeskeyHeskey
My phone hasn't stopped ringing all day. Mourinho has left me 16 voicemails, Moyes keeps texting me... #HeskeyProblems

Here's Andy Hunter, our Stanley Park correspondent:

Everton rejected a third joint offer from Manchester United for Fellaini and Baines at the weekend - this time £40m - and today a separate £15m offer for Baines as Jamie Jackson has reported. The club maintains that Baines is not for sale and, as the rejection of the £40m offer shows, are holding out for more than £25m for Fellaini. He may have to submit a transfer request to force the issue after all, but hasn't done so yet.

Even an increased offer for Fellaini may not suffice at this late stage, however. Everton had lined up Porto midfielder Fernando as his replacement, with Roberto Martinez attending a work permit hearing in London this morning for the Brazilian, but that deal is now in doubt.

Interest remains in James McCarthy and Gareth Barry, although they are not close to an agreement with Wigan for the Republic of Ireland midfielder and only if Manchester City pay part of Barry's £120,000-a-week wages will that deal go through.

So they are doing a City. Paying massive wages to get the players to sign for them.

They will now get it easier to sign other top class players because Özil showed that he believes in their project and that the wages won't be a problem.

They will of course now be forced to pay other top class players around the same wages if not even more. The problem City had and still have.

No way back now.

It'll be like flies to ****, Arn

Think that Fernando deal breaking down will stop Fellaini moving?

[john316]

Probably Drogba knowing the forward thinkers at Chelsea.

Lee Clayton @LeeClayton_
In the world of ifs, buts and maybes, I'm told Chelsea could sign another forward tonight, which could release Demba Ba to West Ham.

Tor-Kristian Karlsen @karlsentk
Fernando to Everton apparently a non-starter. W/all due respect to Everton, it did seem a rather unlikely destination for the Brazilian...

[Arn]

The difference being City were paying top class money for 2nd rate players, or worse! Ozil is class and Wenger to his credit has pulled off a great deal for a player better than anyone Spurs have brought in.

Wonder if they're still going after Di Maria? Basically funding Madrid's move for Bale.

I won't call Tevez and Yaya second rate players. That is the two players that started the dominate the world City project.

[john316]

Now he would have been a phenomenal pick up. Far more important than Ozil for Arsenal's current needs.
