Since he's 41 they'll need a replacement anyway, if Lloris is available then signing him up early isn't too far fetched.

Breaking news: Arsenal are chasing Chinese sensation Fa-Kin No-Wan!

Fa Kin Su Pa

That's only the 1000th time that's been said in the last 2 days. Joke also doesn't work when people use a different nationality each time.

Fulham confirm the signing of Dimitar Berbatov on a 2 year deal.

Maicon has signed for Man City.

I'm sorry, perhaps I should say East Asian sensation instead. Either that or an actual decent signing.

So after all the talk of Liverpool, Sunderland and Villa Clint Dempsey has ended up at Sp*rs. Hugo Lloris has also completed his move there.

Michael Essien has joined Real Madrid on loan, but apart from that nothing really big on deadline day. Also Gaston Ramirez finally completed his move to Southampton.

Nice work Liverpool. Loan out Carroll...don't replace him...Go into the season with 2 strikers. Fuck me. Words fail me.

So Arsenal buy no one while Brighton bring four new players on deadline day. Stephen Dobbie, Andrea Orlandi from Swansea, David Lopez from Athletic Bilbao but most interestingly, Dean Hammond is back, will be interesting to see what sort of reception he gets.

It's not just Liverpool, you go through the top 5 or 6 and it's very light in terms of strikers apart from the Manchester clubs and striker quality in Newcastle's case.

Arsenal - Podoslki, Giroud, Chamakh
Sp*rs - Adebaoyr, Defoe (Some have included Dempsey, but I don't consider him a striker)
Chelsea - Torres, Sturridge
Newcastle - Ba, Cisse then after that the quality drops off massively.

Yeah, cool. Even with that, look at Liverpool:
They've got Suarez, who's got a serious case of the yips. And then Borini, who spent all of last season at Roma on the right so he hardly qualifies as a striker and has fuck all senior experience.

Next down in the pecking order there's Nathan Ecclestone in the reserves, who they just loaned out to Blackpool.

Our BIGGEST FUCKING PROBLEM last season was putting the ball in the back of the net. And we're going into THIS SEASON with our striking stocks in WORSE shape than last season. It's incomprehensible! I'm lost for words. I don't know what to say. I think I'm going to have an aneurysm from the ridiculous fucking stupidity. I seriously want to cry.

And the worst part is, we'll be "SURPRISED" when we can't put the ball in the back of the net.

What the FUCK is going to happen if Suarez gets injured?

Spurs granted extension until 1am regarding the transfer of Portugal international; Joao Moutinho.

Or suspended 8-[

Didn't even want to consider that possibility.

Why should spurs be given an extension? They had the same amount of time as everyone else. The deadline has passed. End of.

Apparently it's off now.

Well, pretty happy with our window, and Deadline day. Signed what we needed, quality CB and another quality Striker. New keeper as well for some added depth. Good day overall.

Harry Kane off to Norwich on loan for the season. My fantasy team likes this, he'll get much more gametime hopefully.

Nikita Rukavytsya has joined FSV Mainz 05.

Raul Meireles apparently set for a move to Fenerbahce

Zenit get Hulk and Witsel for 80m euros

Crazy money

That's nuts. Both players will probably want to leave in a year anyway.

van der Wiel to PSG.

Both dark-skinned players. They're inevitably going to have a hard time from the fans.

Yep, I mean they're going to a club who, until now, had never bought a black player. That tells you all you need to know about what their time's gonna be like over there.

What ethnicity is Bruno Alves? He's not exactly the 'whitest' guy around.

van der Wiel to PSG confirmed, 6m euro.

I was surprised of this - anybody got any content on it ?

Just for the record - Del Piero confirmed > SYDFC.

Zenit in Nani transfer talks

Zenit St Petersburg have confirmed they are negotiating for the £25 million capture of Manchester United winger Nani.

The Russian transfer window closes on Thursday, and Zenit are determined to add a couple of big names to their squad, with Nani and Joao Moutinho their two top targets.

Zenit recently acquired Hulk and Axel Witsel for a combined €80 million, and the spending will not stop there if Nani can be tempted from Old Trafford.

The Portugal international did not enjoy the best of starts to the new Premier League season, turning in a poor display at Everton that saw him subbed and then dropped from the next game.

With United looking blessed for midfield options with Shinji Kagawa settling in quickly at the club, Nani could be tempted to move to Russia, particularly if it is to join countryman Moutinho.

Zenit general director Maxim Mitrofanov said on Thursday: "It's true we are negotiating for Nani and Moutinho, but Hulk and Witsel were our top priorities."

Should Nani leave, his final appearance at United will be Sunday's 3-2 win over Southampton, when he came on for the final 29 minutes to help inspire a comeback.

Ganso signs with Sao Paulo in a five year deal....
Talk about a sideways step, this bloke has plenty to offer and was interesting some top clubs.

Would be good business for ManU to sell at that price IMO. Not sure if they have the depth to cover it though, but they should make it through to January at least.
