Deadline day

thebaz

Woohoo, less than 2 hours to go to Deadline day, the favourite event on Sky Sports News.
So far its been the dullest transfer window I can remember , with really only city and Chelsea strengthening.

Ah well, I'm sure Arrry has a few deals up his sleeve , which will be revealed from the old interview from the car window.

The hyped up excitement around tea time tomorrow is what its all about , as the Sky rumour machine goes into overdrive.

Skys coverage has seriously jumped the shark over the last few windows. I've watched the last two deadline days on the BBC red button. They have cameras in the BBC live 5 studio. Far better coverage.
Although nothings going to happen tomorrow other than Harry Redknapp bringing in more rubbish on overinflated contracts so I may not even bother with that.

GLaDOS

The most overhyped day in the footballing calender

Summer deadline I can live with, January normally bores the pants off me

Harry Palmr

Even Redknapp isn't going to save this. I'm going to predict that we'll see a few loans and that'll be it.

Pinturicchio

'Arry's down to the bare bones. He'll have to bring in a few bodies. What's Joe Cole at these days?

Lumbo

The transfer window so far

Sanity_Saviour

Love everything about Deadline Day, Sky really do make the exchanging of contracts one the most exciting days in the year :pac:

Hoping to see some ridiculous transfer like Ronaldinho signing for Burnley or Kaka turning up in the back of Harry Redknapp's car

smileyj1987

Meh it hasn't been good in the last two years !!

I hope no club buys anyone.

The cult of Jim White encapsulates all that is wrong with Sky, the dildo moment introduced a gravitas it did not deserve.

monkey9

Ah the purple dildo. #neverforget

RobbingBandit

Blue dildo happened at Everton iirc, I believe Sky have requested no fan interaction today to prevent it or other such actions happening again, was one of the funniest things I have ever seen on tv.

monkey9

Yeah apparently the reporters will be inside the club buildings rather than outside with the fans.

End of an era I suppose, it's not like the players are brought in for the fans to see though most deals won't be disclosed until tomorrow if indeed any are even done today.

Revie leaving Elland Road, Gradi finishing with Crewe as manager and going upstairs, Busby retiring, Jackie Jameson finishing up, they were ends of eras.

Sky not having journos standing in car parks saying "undisclosed sum" and "subject to medical"? End of nonsense.

Kerrigooney

How is Jim White gonna get over-excited when there's nothing happening?

Rega

I can't wait to see the footage of Jim White entering the Sky building or the footage of Jim White in make up.

Then, and only then, will I know that football's truly eaten itself.

jaykay74

Zero interest in this.

Guy:Incognito

Just stuck it on now and theres a guy at the Villa training ground. From what I can see, Villa train in the local park.

Corholio

West Ham bid 7m for Gomis.

So it begins.

Jim White in makeup and Real Madrid sell the naming rights to the Bernabeu.

Football is on life support for me.

If you cannot enjoy deadline day for what it is then you need to lighten up.

Nobody likes Jim White???? What planet is this on?

Richard Hillman

So even though his name trends from sunrise to midnight and the day has been named after him, "nobody" likes him? He even seems remarkabley popular with his colleagues.

I always have to lol when the tiny minority think they are the majority

rob316

Jim White is a legend. Who else can make a move for Effe Ambrose sound exciting?

Sky know that generally its not that exciting of a day but the are brilliant at hyping it up and Jim White is the perfect guy for it.

Soups123

Can't stand him or the circus that goes with it.

Would much prefere a vidiprint style approach to the day

thebaz

this has to be the dullest deadline day since the financial glory days have EPL commenced. With not even any QPR rumours, I'm getting worried there will be no stressed Arry from the car window interview .
The bbc are dedicating a program tonight to all the goings on today , the only one of slight note is Huth to leicester , and thats a loan

That would be exciting news for the opposition

Harry Palmr

Wilfred Zaha signed by er Crystal Palace for 3 million. Nice work!

Kerrydude1981

So has the Jim and Natalie combo been broke up? I see she is on now,

Wonder is there add ons. big loss for united on him. Although may have made a few quid on loan fees from palace and cardiff. was he not 15million or so?

DerekDGoldfish

Sammy Eto could be on the move again, has fell out with Sampdoria after only a week refused to take part in a double training session after they got hammered at the weekend. Cant move to another European club though having played for two clubs already.

tastyt

3 million for zaha is an absolute steal

Corholio

It seems Sky are actually trying to make the Deadline Day even more boring........Thierry Henry is on soon.

LuckyLloyd

How come he never got a look in at Utd? Bad attitude or? Has looked useful since returning to Palace imo and he destroyed the Championship the season they came up before his move.

klose

Matri on loan to.....juve? They love the loan market over there. That's his 4th club in 2 seasons.

Poor attitude by all accounts. £15m was a ridiculous fee for a championship player. Tom Ince was as good at the same time and look where he is now?

Maybe he can move to a galaxy far far away...

All sorts of rumours about his time at United. Obviously moyes didn't fancy him but that is definitely no reason to write him off. Loads of players have had difficulty at one club or another and just moved on to prove themselves with somebody else. Just look at pogba at the moment, couldn't get a game for United and is now one of the top midfielders in Europe.

I'm not saying zaha is going to be that good but he looks to have everything needed. He needs a good manager though and pardew has a record of messing players like him around

swoody

big deal this

Super-Rush

It didn't help Zaha that when he teamed up with the United squad, it wasn't the manager who signed him that was in charge. Then he gets the boot and another manager is appointed. I feel sorry for him tbh because he looked like someone with real prospects.

Wolfsburg have completed the signing of Chelsea's André Schürrle. Official confirmation expected soon. (Di Marzio)

Wouldn't have minded him on loan until the summer. Jose must feel that Liverpool are a genuine threat.

It's Bodymore Heath, among the best training complexes in world football. Although you wouldn't think it by the team's output.

Juve love signing a back up striker for the second half of the season. Borriello, Osvaldo, Anelka, Bendtner and now Matri. They've all won a league medal too.
