Deadline day thread (other clubs)

Coentrao good signing for United.

Coentrao good signing for United.

Yeah he is.

Not fussed on Fellaini at all though. Think he's completely average - looked decent in an Everton team that was built around him but £27.5m ffs.

Could have got him for £23.5m 4 weeks ago

Marca now saying that Coentrao is staying in Madrid, not joining Man Utd. Sky, though, think he's arrived on a season's loan

[Liverpel]

Please let this be true.

I left the office just before 10, all the blues going mad, switch on the tele at half 10 and theyve made three signings

I hate deadline day and I hate the way it's been given the full sky sorts treatment, it's made a mockery of the game imo and contribute big time to some of the financial issues in football

However some sick twisted part of me also can't get enough of it, I spend each one glued to the tele watching story after story repeat, clicking refresh on est and twitter etc etc

[Liverpel]

Look at that kid's fat head on sky now.

Kenwright must have been pissing himself screwing over Moyes and co with that deal.

£27.5m for a midfielder who isn't actually world class at anything is INSANE!

Looks like United genuinely did try to get Coentrao on loan from Real Madrid but the fax came through too late and deal will not happen...

[-V-]

I guess Chelsea would not have given Lukaku to us.

Still think Man Utd will confirm Fellaini tonight

[MrMichael]

They've bought an excellent player but at the detriment of the entire team IMO. There are so many problem area's in Arsenals team that Ozil will not fix all their problems.

Absolutely. Quality player (overpaying though) but their issue has not really been in the creative department. They're still in trouble if Giroud gets injured and have major issues at the back and in goal. Seems to me like they've just made a big signing to appease their fans but really lack an overall squad improvement plan.

Comment on radio 5 just now flagging up how Joe Kinnear came back to the Toon 3 months ago saying judge me on the signings I make

Newcastle will go down if Ben Arfa can't stay fit, having watched their first few games I'm quite sure of it. Their attack is pathetically static and uninventive, and their defence is crap. Race to the bottom between them, Fulham and West Brom, I'd give Cardiff and Hull even chances of staying up instead of any of those right now.

Amateur hour stuff regarding Coentrao

[kingfunk]

@frankieboyle: Genuinely thought Ozil would sign for Man U because he'd want to go somewhere that he wasn't the weirdest looking cunt

[PTP]

The united stuff is funny,

Have Everton defo signed Barry/mcarthy/Lukaku? I'd be quite annoyed with that cause I was hoping to laugh at them as well
