Deadline day thread (other clubs)

Ozil's wages come in at just over £200,000 a week after add-ons. That's what deterred other clubs...

Newcastle look like they won't do much if anything.

Good old Joe 'I can pick up the phone to any manager in the world' Kinnear.

What a dickhead Kinnear is

I heard he's down the local kebab shop complaining about a bad kebab

Ozil to Gooners is a done deal

Come on FSG, it's silly money time

Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC
#CFC have heard nothing of PSG's reported interest in Juan Mata. Barring 'silly money', Mata looks like staying at Stamford Bridge

Tony Barrett @TonyBarretTimes
Looks like the chain needs unblocking. McCarthy's move to Everton is currently stuck and so is Fellaini's to Man United. The tension grows.

How come?

Haha - what typos.

I meant 'donkey work' (no pun intended).

Well, think about how long most big transfers take to negotiate. There is the price to be agreed, the number of instalments to be paid, agents fees, player terms, image rights and all sorts. It's inconcievable to me that Wenger phoned Madrid after the Spurs game and asked them if they could buy the player for £45m.

This also indicates that the donket worl for this deal was done well before yesterday, but it was kept hushed until now. As you say, it just depended on Bale going through.

It's pretty much impossible to do deals like this overnight.

How come?

[dom9]

Think his hands were tied by the Bale deal, which has been the trigger for the market to kick in. Real wouldn't countenance selling Ozil until Bale was done.

Oh ****, I really hope they don't get Pastore.

[Shaggy]

Wenger is a total ****ing weirdo. Why wait until the last day before conducting business? He has a history of this too.

Having said that, Ozil is one **** of a signing. They're back in the game!
