Deadline day thread (other clubs)

Bugger sounds like a decent player, hopefully he seems sense and stays put then!

[john316]

Sky sources then just Red Cafe?

[Chris]

Crystal Palace seem determined to sign every **** player in the world.

[MrMichael]

If there is one thing Wenger is good at, it's buying **** keepers. And plenty of 'em.

I am utterly baffled why he hasn't just bought Begovic. Maybe its because he's actually good

Me too, he's a brilliant keeper and he's up for grabs. Wenger is a lunatic. He'd make a huge difference to their team. Huge.

[MrMichael]

Very good player - lovely passer, typically Spanish footballer. Overpriced at £30m though.

Significantly overpriced imho.

I laugh at some of the press tagging him the "new Paul Scholes" too. Seeing as he's never scored more than 2 league goals in a season and has 12 in his whole club career!

Not convinced him and Fellani will solve their obvious issues in attacking areas (RVP aside) at all. Funny that the one player they already own who maybe could is missing without trace #pray4Shinji

I think the difference one of them could make is that it would allow another midfielder to venture further forward. The fairly strict organization IMO, is down to utd. not having good enough midfielders that can do both offensive and defensive work, and that leaves them less mobile and more organized to close up behind.

Felliani or Herrera would defo be able to open the organization up some more.

Yeah, I can see that, they would definitely be stronger / more versatile in the middle with those 2 as opposed to the craptastic likes of Cleverly and Anderson. They'd still just ultimately be passing to Young, Nani and Welbeck though, not exactly frightening.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Doesn't Draxler play left wing? Shame we're not in for him.

I'm sure Schalke are quoting as high as €60m

Just to put this one to bed, Man Utd are definitely not taking on Arsenal for Mesut Ozil. #MUFC #AFC

that's true, Nani is just ****, Welbeck never really produces anything (but a good teamplayer) and Young havn't really turned up in a while.

There are quite a number of structural problems at united right now, and only the winning mentality of the team keeps them going right now.

[ChesterDave]

According to that list of 10 deals united will spend 80m and Arsenal 160m

Journos don't half make up some ****

[Shaggy]

Chris Young @YoungSunEcho
Told that Borini deal is progressing and Dossena is definitely a goer too now #safc

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I have no idea why so many clubs, top ones especially wait around until the last day of the window, its not like the selling clubs are more likely to lower their prices I understand when negotiating that things can drag out but so many teams are risking ****ing up or overpaying. Good window for us, just missing out on the 'marquee' winger that we were looking for but Moses is smart as a stopgap, much better than doing nothing.
