There's not a lot of difference in having a sugar daddy called Dolphin Tuna and a sugar daddy called Rupert Murdoch IMO.

Something needs to be done but it won't happen. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. Remember when the Noblot chairman wanted to scrap relegation (wonder what their chairman thinks of that now Laugh ) ? Well with the money coming into the EPL from this season and the parachute payments, they virtually have Angry

FFP is bollocks and probably contravenes EU competition laws. If somebody wants to spend his money he should be allowed to and if a club ends up bankrupt then so be it. Cool
and complicated

Lavery has joined the Blunts on a 3 year deal.

We are still looking at LB & LW, a few irons in the fire.

Blackburn interested in Helan according to some reports.

Not long left .... the window will soon close leaving loans the only option till January. I think we still lack a monster CB and strong, battling midfield player and lack pace out wide. We lacked these at Wembley and still do! Not been too impressed with our Summer dealings so far! Let's hope for more action in the next few days. I would have been happy with 5pts HAD WE WON at Wembley, that would have been a great start in The Prem. However, we were supposed to hit the ground running with a strong squad in place and therefore avoiding giving our rivals a 7-8 game head start!! We were 15 points short of automatics and don't look like a team ready to narrow the void. Let's hope for a quick turn around of form and get on a good run! Come on Wednesday!!

Hull are among a few teams that will be going bat shit crazy within the signings in the next 48 hours I expect.

I still think we're getting left behind. I suppose we'll see what happens by Wednesday night.

I am not sure who we are getting left behind by though?? Sure, we have been wildly outspent by the three parachute clubs, but aside from them no one else is doing very much in this market currently. Tomorrow could be very interesting though!!

Message from #nufc is that £30million is the price for Sissoko for #thfc and can be in staged payments. Take it or leave it deal.
Newcastle want £30m for Sissoko,how the xxxx can we compete with a team that's going to have that type of money coming in from one deal.

Fulham are interested in signing Emmanuel Adebayor. Not a done deal but free agent, talks ongoing & #FFC are looking to do it #DeadlineDay
Here's one from Fulham wanting to sign Adebayor.He's going to be on big money.
Nothing changes,again.

As of 0830BST this morning, Premier League clubs’ total gross spending stood at £1,005bn, according to Deloitte’s Sports Business Group. Premier League clubs’ net spending stood at £527m.

It's the first time Premier League clubs have spent more than £1bn in a single transfer window.

At the same stage last year, gross Premier League spending was £780m, and net spending £385m. Massive increase.

Fackin hell,£1bn pound on players,come on DC get thi wallet open.
Nothing changes,again.
