The Summer Transfer Window Deadline Day - Friday 31st August 2012.

[Jayhow15]

Moyesy in London dealing with Oviedo work permit hearing, maybe putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 but possibly multitasking and having talks with Essien. Would fit the CM bill that he apparently is looking for.

Yeah sure... i'm sure we'd smash our wage structure for a 30 + year old struggling to recover from a long term injury who doesn't play much anymore.

He's 29.

Maybe trying to kidnap M'bia when he tries to get a car to QPR

That was two days ago. SSN reckoned we'd had an improved bid accepted this morning.

Interesting. Anyone know anything about him? It's a good move for the future, hopefully.

So, Pienaar (£4.5m), Naismith (Free), Mirallas (£6m), Oviedo (£1.2m) IN (£11.7m) and Cahill (£1m), Yobo (£2.5m), Rodwell (£12m) OUT (£15.5m) means we're a player up, £3.8m better off and we've improved the side quite considerably. Good work!

 

[McQueen]

Just had a text saying we're submitting another cheeky loan bid for Essien. Not sure how much truth is in it.

 

[Jon Day]

Still crocked though. Would be a waste of wages (which even if cut 50% would still be our top earner).

 

[dutchblue54]

Anyone think Jenas could be on the list if others fail ? I mean on loan he would be a great addition. Essien would be on good wages and N Zonzi i would not pay more than 3,5 mill for.

I'd agree with you there. He's on £65k a week ^^

Are we looking for a CM? If Mirallas or Naismith are going to play behind Jelavic then Fellaini will drop back in alongside Gibson. Heitinga can't shift Jagielka and Distin, so might get games there. Osman has been dropping back there too. Junior is coming through and it's looking like this is Coleman's season to switch to fullback, so Neville will play more in midfield as well.

I think we could still do with a stand in centre forward on loan in case Jelavic gets injured. The other options we have with the physical presence to lead the line are Anichebe and Vellios.

 

[Tanman]

The nzonzi situation has gone very quite... Maybe DM has found an alternative...

 

[ijjysmith]

Some BBC reporter bird says no bids for N'Zonzi from anyone

 

[Tubey]

Just to clarify above post - apparently Essien is "only" on £70k ish a week, so if we could loan him and pay 50% of his wages I'd DEFINITELY be all for that happening.

 

[Christiffa25]

Ssn seem to think its arsenal after essien...
