Load of deals don’t get over the line due to errors or lateness due to things being last minute. If forest had told us the day before issue would have been different. We are incompetent but no one is going to claim huge wages because a transfer breaks down. Just doesn’t happen. We will no doubt be stung for some legal fees for the EFL though

And in the last 5 mins most of the above is obsolete.. Burnley equalise, Reading win and the fact millwall lost is all good. Sunderland will slip up soon. A draw tomorrow keeps us in the mix. A win and we are back in the top 6

Just a rehash of Nixon’s story on Sunday

I think this is exactly what happened, the evil overlords definitely scuppered the deal last minute after putting the player though Medical, media, contract negotiations. No way they would have just said ‘no we can’t afford him’ earlier in the day. They were adamant they would waste the player, his agent, Nottingham forest and as many people as possible’s time just to make it look like it could have happened…

So he left Manchester at 9ish to watch the match? In Birmingham

I mean that’s some odd guess

Right Venkys you need to lawyer up to f**k… get that fella who gets them all off the driving bans

Berget is still a free isn’t he?

You know when you go out and get so drunk you blackout… the’ you wake up in the morning with that awful feeling of despair and anxiety..and say never again.. that’s how this situation makes me feel… pricks the lot of them

I see Wigan have just confirmed a loan deal.

Surely the registration is the one they would have filed first and on time…: surely

It’s 5pm. It’s not happening. Have you ever seen a transfer agreed the next evening after a window shuts. Nope doesn’t happen. My guess is they’re just sat there trying to find out what the hell to put out PR wise

Was thinking just this. Agree the loan bit that went through on time and then negotiate the next bit 1st June. Need forest to agree I suppose but better than the player not playing

Prob why Athletico Madrid just signed him

Combined cost 6.4 million (6 of which was brereton) Arma profit 11ish Raya profit 3mill plus add ons (think we got another 500k ish for his Spanish cap) all of the above on 8k a week or less

in terms of BBD stick him on 25k a week on a 2 year deal and in a 12 million buyout clause, clubs will stump that if he hits 20 again. He gets to play international football for doing well with us and he's still only 23

If the window does end up being a disaster I want this broughton chap gone (and Venkys also obv ). I was genuinely excited by how he spoke but this no interview (or even a reassuring statement or comment on website) is p@ssing me off. I don't care that other DOF at other clubs don't comment, most are established and get the job done, he's new and you couldn't shut him up the first week or two.

Everton are after the Southampton lad

He said 'Everton are also working on Ben Brereton Díaz deal - Lampard has to decide if he wants him or not. #EFC' covering all bases there. Working on? But yet waiting for the manager to decide? Mmmmm

So just to confirm that neither club have said feck all about a bid and we are all losing our minds because an under used out of date Scottish journalist who blocks you the minute you question his 'judgement' posted an emoji...

One player losing a ball in the corner in one match wasn't the reason we got relegated

Van hecke going Sunderland confirmed

Wrong thread but ouch

With it confirmed that Brittain and Phillips are likely to be fit for Wednesday (and it prob 15 degrees cooler) I don't think we need someone in before then but do think by the end of the week we will. We must do all we can to keep BBD or after the last two week's goals and performance accept 25m minimum and tell suitors they have till next Monday to bid or no deal.

What a tool... that means he couldn't bloody get near them...
