I like how SSN are actually advertising Jim White's arrival

Llambias waking up David Craig

Jim White at 8pm, can't wait.

David N'Gog carrying his gear in a binbag

they should introduce a SSN Deadline Day Decibel Counter in the corner of the screen for when he's on.

I think if we do make 'the' striker signing now, it'll be someone not at all linked previously.

it begins.

SHIT THE BED

I'm going into the kitchen and we better have made signings when I get back

This Crouch stuff simply cannot end badly. If Sunderland pay £10m+ and fuck off Gyan that's hilarious. If Arry is waiting on him to go so he can make another signing and the deal falls through/Bruce says no, it's a mega troll on the twitchy spiv.

I actually can't wait.

David Bentley, £3m - 22.09

The Mail have been very reliable lately. Am I right to say that Gosling, Tiote, Ba and Obertan were reported by them first?

In: Situ Maiga or Cisse Random Championship utility player Out: Ranger (loan) Lovenkrands (Rangers/Championship) Guthrie (month's loan)

Get in. A nice deadline day straw to clutch at.

Voronin, isn't it?

That would be ace, like.

I was basing my calculations on Santon being 6 million euros, or £5m - doubling both amounts. Either way, we're seemingly very close to hitting the asking price.

Wasn't our earlier bid 10 million euros? Therefore, a bid of £10m would be about 12-13 million euros i.e. the mooted asking price?

I think we'll get Maiga and as a result won't get Macheda. Situ will sign, and if we get anyone else it'll be another signing from the Championship, probably a young utility player. There'll be rumours about Coloccini and Tiote but neither will materialise into any serious interest; either Lovenkrands will go to Rangers or the Championship, or Ranger will go to Blackpool. I also think Harper may go - Elliot not getting a squad number is a bit telling imo.

Don't forget that many deals (including Carroll and I believe Torres last year) are done 'subject to a medical' - i.e. the paperwork etc is done but the club retain the right to pull out of the deal if the medical is failed.

Who have Sochaux signed like?

And then gan on holiday with her using Thomas Cook.

You should have lent him your denim suit.

Fuck. Send him back.
