Transfer deadline day

[PABLO76]

Sky have turned this into an actual event!

With reporters around the country outside the biggest stadiums and rumours flying everywhere, who will be signing for who at the last minute?

My team: Man Utd - Fellaini + Baines from Everton : Herrera from Atletico Madrid : Ozil from Real Madrid : swap Rooney for Mata/Torres from Chelsea amongst others.

Who is signing for your team then?

[foxes1]

Nobody

over £600 million changing hands.........

More foreigners.........

Clubs not paying their debts

You can guess... I'm not a fan, especially the premiership !!!!

Absolutely Pete, that's the real stand out feature, only one big movement involving a British player in the top division and that is the one on his way OUT of the premiership.

Far too many over-rated foreigners, coming in for large amounts of money, are they really any better than the home grown talent?
Most are signed on a three year contract, spend the first year on the subs bench, the second out on loan and sold just before the start of the third.

I'm not being nationalistic, or whatever the Liberal brigade call it nowadays. Sadly, I find it cringeworthy when commentators talk about English clubs in Europe, what's english about them now, the name? How long will it be before they're selling that.

How long will it be before its Sports Direct Newcastle feature on final score, and are the most popular team in France, (which they probably are, with their team of french second raters).

Less than a day's gross wages for Bale.

Vast majority of the Derby squad are British, Sharrow.

Probably more than any other league club. Good for them.

Had our fingers burnt too often by the kind of mercenaries you allude to!

Wasn't that incredibly tedious, tawdry and soul destroying. Whatever about the morality of the transfer system and the utterly ludicrous sums being spent the fetishisation of the transfer window brings the Premier circus to a new low. .. Or a new high I suppose if you're into it. Whatever about Real blowing 80 odd million on the 50th best player in Europe, that makes eminent sense compared to the likes of Southampton, Swansea spending 30, 40 million.

I personally, am relieved Manchester United bought Fellaini and not Leighton Baines, because this would have triggered a chain of events that would have resulted in Everton probably signing Aaron Cresswell (best left-back in the Championship - not my words).

Obviously when you sell your best player, it means a massive struggle to stay in the Championship this season.

PS - We may have ended up with Evra on a season long loan ??

Yes good on them, Derby, like us you appear to have one foreigner in your squad. Unlike us, you appear to have some decent players

The Premier League has become a foreign League within itself.

When it was suggested that they play an extra game (the game 39 proposal), the pitchforks and torches were out. It was said at the time that football shouldn't forget its roots. Sadly, that era has long gone.
