DEADLINE DAY Doo Doo's (Predictions and general shyte)

[mjc23]

SSN now saying Southampton have made a new bid of £15m for Townsend.

If true, we'd be insane not to take it.

Nothing about it on SSN TV

Nothing about it on SSN TV

That's where I heard it. Now a different reporter says it's NOT on. I think this kind of contradictory stuff will be a regular feature of the day.

It is deliberate - the whole point of TDD is to make lots of money for Sky Bet.

 

[P.D.]

Falcoa to UTD on loan, £20 loan fee for one season. Where will him, Rooney, RVP, Mata and Di Maria all fit in?

We will know if Holtby is going to Germany soon enough as all German clubs have to release a list showing deals that are ongoing by 12 I think and then have until 5 to complete them.

Goddamnit we could have offered double that!

incredible that they get away with that

What are the chances of getting Mata in do you reckon if Falcoa comes to Man U?

Absolutely non-existant

 

[stinkfoot]

Holtby, Sandro, Townsend - OUT

Schneiderlin, Isco (loan), J Rodriquez - IN

 

[ringo]

Out- As many as we can manage.
In - No one - unless you count that Stambouli chap.

+ Welbeck (Loan)

On average how long do medicals take?

 

[Gutter Boy]

On average how long do medicals take?

2 x 1.5hrs I remembering hearing once.

But deals can still be done subject to medical (e.g. vdV)

 

[The Fatman]

Asking because Holtby been in his for ages

If this was Football Manager on the PC, I'd be aiming for a deadline day that went something like...

Out (for as much as Levy can get for them)... Kaboul, Fryers, Assou-Ekotto, Townsend, Mason, Holtby, Paulinho, Bentaleb (on loan).


In (for as cheap as possible)...

1) another solid centre back (Musacchio doesn't seem likely now, but letting Kaboul and Fryers go means I'd like a new guy to come in - and one good enough to challenge for the first team right away)
2) a creative midfielder who can reliably get a forward pass to its intended target (is that man Schneiderlin? If so, get him in!)
3) a wide forward intelligent enough to be that target (Rodriguez? Wellbeck? I honestly don't know who is both available at a price we can afford and good enough to do the job, but whoever it is, we need them).


My predictions of what will actually happen though...

Out: Fryers, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Holtby, Sandro, Mason
In: Stambouli plus one other

Mason has been told he's part of the first team squad so I'd be surprised if he went anywhere.
