Official transfer deadline day thread.

[Tarnats left peg]

im more concerned we seem to have left matters to the last day. i know johnson couldn't be accounted for but i still think were lacking a player to cover for silva. and balotelli has had a few injuries already and theres no guarantee he will make it to the end of the season without breaking down again.

Luiz deal still on ?

Won't they have work permit/visa problems or does that only occur for us ?

they had the work permit stuff all sorted out a week ago before Benfica bottled the agreement.

Lol at Ian Bolton stuck in time...

Ino that was quality, is the Adam fee defo £14m people?.

They were just examples of wingers who we could have had on loan until the end of the season.

Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool have all strengthened, we lose Johnson, Balotelli and Adebayor until the end of the season, but keep Jo. We have nobody. What happens when Silva or Tevez miss a game? We have Wright-Phillips to replace him... and then what?

Disappointed is not the word.

We can have 6 month loan moves.We don't necessarily have to buy all the time!

Are you fucking mad?

Do you actually think that clubs will just give us one of their best players for 6 months on loan?

This isn't Football Manager, and your recent comments about City show you up as an immature, impatient, knee jerking kid. It was only yesterday that you were slagging off Dzeko and calling him shit.

No, I'm not "fucking mad."

But there are wingers out there, Damocles, that would be willing to help us in our push for Champions League football, albeit a short time. I'm not expecting Messi or Ronaldo to come swanning in for 6 months and then head off again, but what I am pissed off about is that Mancini is actually HAPPY with this squad. He has done nothing. He's not even looked for back-up or another option. He is relying on Tevez and Silva staying fit. That's a risk you can't take when you're fighting for glory.

I know this isn't Football Manager. I never once suggested that it was, but like I said, if Silva misses a game, what do we do? We couldn't score past Notts County without him on the pitch. As soon as he came on, we looked different. Have we won a game this season that Silva hasn't been involved in? Because I can't remember one.

I'm disappointed. Mancini has take a massive risk. A risk that is very unlikely to pay off. I'm not annoyed that we've not done business on this particular day, but we've known for almost a week that Johnson was going to be out for a while. That's more than enough time to attempt to get SOMETHING done.

And, I was trolling about Dzeko.

Calm down Bob. I know you were fishing. Damocles was deadly serious when he called Tevez shit though.

We need a wide player, i'd take ANYONE at this stage, even someone like Chris Brunt or Matt Phillips from Blackpool.

Letting Weiss go for the whole season could bite Mancini in the arse.

Breaking news: Benfica accept Chelsea offer for David Luiz! £25m (20m up front) + Matic

Chelsea defo in hunt for title, still play the Rags twice more.

Eh? The official word has always been Dzeko and maybe Luiz. We signed Dzeko two days after the window opened. So what exactly have we left to the last day? The only reason people are going OTT is because AJ is out for the season, which we couldn't have predicted.
