The Entirely Unreasonable Transfer Deadline Day Thread

I didn't realise you can't have more than one player on loan from a single club, which is complicating the Lingard/Henderson move. Probably means no move for Henderson regardless, cos either Lingard stretches into the evening and happens/falls over, or Lingard happens early doors. 

 

I'm not sure the injury state of Dubravka, whether he's playing with a niggling injury or what, but he made a fantastic save in the Leeds game and assuming he is fit I'd be happy enough with him and Darlow as backup. Darlow did have a couple of poor games but otherwise I thought he was reasonable.

Decent fee for what is a highly rated prospect. It was rumoured to be £30m+ earlier in the window

If this goes through would that be the end of the Lingard interest?

Is it possible that Targett has two fronts and that's why essembee fancies him so much?

I just think the margin for error between us going down and staying up is so slim that even having Darlow as back up is a risk.

Eriksen gone to Brentford on 6 month deal!  

 

It's been what, over 6 months since he played? It's going to take him a while to get back up to speed, if he ever can with his dodgy heart.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13867]

Mandy has been up all night and I can only assume the speed in which we’re moving is a result of a Coke-fuelled bender.

She's classier than that, they'd at least be speedballs, you need a little smack to take the edge off and keep your nerves.

I think we're only allowed two PL loans and Targett has just taken one of those spots. I don't see what difference it would make signing Lingard on loan vs a six month transfer deal.

You're not wrong but if it's a choice between Henderson and Lingard I'd take Lingard in our situation. 

 

That changes if Ekitike signs.

Imagine what we’ll spend in the summer  I know that doesn’t equate to success every time around but it actually seems like these have their heads screwed on, other than potentially panicking with Chris Wood
