Summer Transfer Window 2017

[orly]

Who was that?

No idea mate

Why does it have to wait right to the final day? Weekend matches are over, so no excuses left on that front. Get deals done today/tomorrow. Why take it to the wire? Brinkmanship?

Since Sky pay the clubs a shed load of money, the clubs hold the news back and announce it late so they can get maximum exposure and sky get the "drama" of transfer deadline day.

80% of the deals that go through on deadline day are just a case of crossing the t's and dotting the i's

Bid £40m for Benteke and we are good.

They'll go down if they lose Benteke. Can't see them accepting it.

Beginning to come round to this. Perhaps out of desperation more than want..... Need a target man desperately in my view. Palace won't sell surely.

So these last two weeks I've been wasting my time then. I'll have a day or two off now and come back strong on Thursday!

Of course. Can't believe I fell for their repeated drivel!

Okeefe knows absolutely nothing. Same as the rest of the locals.

Only king and Joyce have any credit.

Dave seed is another on twitter hedging his bets everywhere whilst knowing nothing.

That seed guy, is convinced we are in for a top player. Some people have said on twitter that he's got a lot right this summer.

Does this tie in with what Ronnie goodlas said

Metro really are full of crap. Saying Barkley in advanced talks with Chelsea. Koeman confirmed no bid, so no talks.

I don't know how they get away with it.

They'll get Sakho I reckon. So yes, could fuel their need for funds. Usually teams need time for a replacement too. Of those mentioned I'd take Benteke over the likes of Deeney (please no) etc etc.

Tapping up? Agree a deal with player first then club so quite possible to be true?

 

[royalblue66]

Like to think we would go for Jonny Evans.
