Lol, fucking hell.

Still expecting this to be sorted today.

Dieumerci Mbokani: Norwich sign striker on loan from Dynamo Kiev - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34110794

Jozo Simunovic: Celtic getting closer to signing Croatian defender - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34105607

Tyler Blackett has joined Celtic on loan from Man Utd for the season .

Villa target Adem Ljajic has joined Inter on loan.

Juventus have signed Hernanes. 

West Ham's Maïga has left to play in Saudi Arabia. 

[Baddar]

I know Blackett is shit but that's another gone. Can't we have Van Dijk in return? Fuck Southampton.

Why do people think that throwing money at DeGea is going to work now? They've just delayed his dream move by not sending the paperwork through quickly enough, if anything he's going to be in more of a sulk than before

[Rich]

Because its football?

[Baddar]

They did send it on time.

Positive it'll go through today anyway.

 

[Sam]

Yup sounds like it was Madrid that fucked it up. 

[Rich]

As someone who is not party to the goings on of this can someone summarise it for me?

[Thrilla]

Of the De Gea non-transfer?

The De Gea deal? AFAIK, it was all agreed - £29m and we get Navas in return. Apparently the relevant paper work wasn't submitted in time to beat the midnight (Spanish time) deadline. They can and will appeal it, you'd think.

 

[Rich]

Or transfer, wherever we are at this time, I am seeing "Madrid messed up" and "Man U messed up" stories

[Mad Jack]

Navas fucked it up. Needed convincing (i.e. moar money) to join us and his demands delayed the transfer enough that either United did send the email 1 minute late (which the club denies) or it was sent in a format that for some reason Real couldn't open until after the deadline (which seems odd in itself).

Either way, it'll be interesting to see if the Spanish FA allow the transfer to happen. There's no precedent for it but this is Madrid and they can try to go to FIFA to appeal it. If FIFA accepts that appeal though, it raises the question of why even have transfer windows anyway?

[Rich]

So this was Navas seen before?

Dream move 

De Gea in 2011, speaking to Cadena SER: “I wouldn’t go to Real Madrid even if they offered me a blank check.”

Moses and Song to West Ham on loan are DONE DEALS.

Everton have signed Mori (the CB they needed a work permit for) for £9.5m, £3m higher than first quoted.

 

[Thrilla]

Anyone watching the Sky Sports coverage? Not sure whether it is worthy setting up to watch it yet if it's just rolling cycles or is Jim White already on the air?

[Baddar]

I'll watch from about 12.

“La Liga had said Real Madrid’s paperwork turned up 28 minutes late. However, I’m now hearing from the La Liga offices that they haven’t received any documentation about David de Gea at all! Not on time, not early, not minutes late, nothing at all. As we speak, no paperwork asking to add De Gea to the Real Madrid squad. The plot thickens..."

[Gazz]

Just let me know when Natalie Sawyer is on.

[Thrilla]

Yeah, that was my thinking

[Baddar]

She has pinkeye.
