But I will say, our only business was two incoming loans. We’ve barely spent money. And highly doubt we do anything else. A new CB would’ve been nice.

 

Apparently this has more to do with Sporting wanting the transfer money on their books next season and not this season, so we’re probably just taking the funds down the road for it. I would love if we get a CB today but I doubt it happens

 

Ndicka is out of contract in 6 months and isn’t signing a new deal. Seems like the perfect option for us tbh. But maybe Frankfurt still won’t sell now because they’re in CL.

 

Desperately need to bring in a midfielder now. Would love it if Bayern could let us take Gravenberch in on loan.

 

Couldn’t tell you the last time this lad was right and I don’t really rate him for the position we need but still PLEASE HAPPEN

 

Lmao journos are loving this. What looked like a quiet window for United has now given them the chance to link every Tom, Dick and Harry to the club

 

I will take any one of Tom, Dick, or Harry (not Maguire)

 

Tom from McFly, Dick from Dick & Dom, and Harry Styles?

What a midfield three.

 

Maybe Harry Styles would be a better midfielder than actor or singer

 

This is what I love about deadline day, furiously refreshing Twitter and avoiding work all for a player I thought was a bit crap 2 hours ago

 

This reminds me of playing PES when I was like 13 and spending hours in the edit mode making a team full of my favourite band members

 

Cherno Samba on the BBC World Service talking about deadline day. He's an agent now.

 

Someone's on the wind up/glue linking Everton to Zaniolo

 

When I was five, my dad found out I named all of United’s players on Fifa 98 “Shit 1”, “shit 2”, etc.

He was simultaneously proud and angry ha.

 

As It Was is a banger and you know it

 

absolutely loathe that song tbh

 

No one seems to want him lol except Bournemouth who he denied

 

Turns out Zaniolo tried to accept the Bournemouth deal last minute but they had already moved on lol

at this point, I’d be fine with Spurs taking him on loan for rest of the season. Feel like both him and Roma are desperate for him to leave. He could be a nice addition off the bench and for cup games.

Danjuma/Richarlison/Zaniolo as the backup attackers….do it.

 

Yeah Arsenal were renamed the unbelievably imaginative Arseholes in PES for me.

 

The Athletic article on Cancelo (from the Man City POV) is pretty damning. Took a "nice" way of sying he has had a bad attitude and no one was able to get through to him this season.

 

Gonna be heartbreaking when we miss the deadline

 

I'll be honest, I've not watched much of Sabitzer before. Reddit has given conflicting stories - some calling him a work horse, some saying jack of all trades, some saying his best position has been as a DM.

Doesn't sound like for like with Eriksen, but is that accurate? Obviously main concern is a warm body, but would be interesting to know what we're (hopefully) getting.
