i made the same mistake earlier today

[Lord Kangana]

He's probably playing five a side with Ian Nolan, Ricky Hunt and Anthony Gardner.

Easy to do though chief, but to have pointed out the Welbeck pic on our website and then follow it up with that

Hi Swindon fan in piece

Does any of you know whats happening with Danny Ward
Lots of Swindon fans hoping and praying he joins us back on loan
just wondering if any of you have heard anything considering Daniel Sturridge may be joining you

We're not telling you anything until you sort that fecking roundabout out.

Were suposively in for two strikers one on permanent and a loanie suggested to be wardy... fingers crossed
I dont believe it myself but hopefully with sturridge joining you guys wardy will be surpluss to requirements

Lights are out at Man City according to SSN so don't think we can expect anything with SWP.

Ahh well, it's nice to dream that for once we could pull out a 'shock' move before the window slams shut

[Ianmooreslovechild]

According to 5 live SWP will only be sold,not loaned,so I guess we can forget that one.

[BWFC_Insane]

SWP is big enough news just about so that if anything was remotely happening Sky would have plastered it all over their news service by about midday today!

[DJBlu]

Only thing garuanteed tonight is I won't be staying up to the end of this window.

Bruce, genius roundabout comment. Made me chuckle.

SWP would have his medical tommorow anyway, it wouldn't matter with a loan. If he's crocked we'd send him back. I think that's wishful thinking though.

When did it become know that Elmander is leaving in the summer anyway?

Still think the most likely, and best option for us, is that he'll sign a new deal.

He's still to bloody earn one as far as I'm concerned.

I was hoping for more than 4 months of, admittedly, top notch centre forward play.

For me £6mil + and I can understand the position of - thanks for the efforts and "we'll go with what we have got". Its 500k a league place right? so we can afford to drop 12 league places (and not be in the bottom 3!!) at that, and we aint gonna finish 5th with Elmo.

He perks up again and does the business and its get a deal signed - form is temporary an all that, but at the moment I'm seeing 2 years of nowt, 4 months of class. On August - Dec though, he's a spot on replacement for a retiring Kevin Davies (when he retires obviously).

I'm just not yet sold enough on him to say yeah give the man a spanking new deal...which is probably a change from November for sure. Mind, who would we bring in, in the summer? Who would be a manager...

I think he's earnt one, if he played for another club we'd all be saying "Get him in on a free". He could go on holiday tommorow, not kick another ball, and he'll still finish comfortably as our top scorer.

I think also to suggest that only players who score 10 goals in four/five months are good enough for us, is setting our sights slightly high, given that 14 is highest anyone has ever managed in a PL season (in all comps). If he showed that form consistently, he wouldn't be playing for us. Davies has only ever come close to that once, why would his replacement have to do it all the time?

So given that he'll effectively be a free transfer, it all lines up to me. We're already having to think towards replacing Davies, why make it doubly hard for ourselves?

From the Potential B0ll0cks Desk
10.11pm: This from our man in Jorvik, Marti Ost. "At the Hotel du Vin in York, have just spotted Elmander with a few suits meeting another couple of suits. My guess is officials from NUFC but what do I know?" Perhaps he's been to the railway museum as well.

Much as you hate it, gotta love deadline day

[Prufrock]

I'm all for keeping him, I'm just not up for having to replace him AND Davo with no money.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

And
10.23pm:Newcastle, Bolton, West Ham, Everton and Portsmouth all had loan bids for Man City's Shaun Wright-Phillips turned down today.

Much as you hate it, gotta love deadline day

[Lord Kangana]

If they're talking to him, really, then they must have waved a reasonable fee in Gartside's face.

You do know which former poster posted that on twitter don't you?

It would elevate it from the standard level of bollocks

Ah ignore me. Said former poster "tweeted" the comment as his own, with no acknowledgement of source. I shall politely inform him of the error of his ways

[hisroyalgingerness]

Hmm... this Mandy this hasn't gone away actually. The words "deal" and "done" keep appearing next to his name with alarming regularity

[Gooner Girl]

Well, Wengers been busy in the transfer market... To quote BBC Sport

1419: To all you Arsenal fans who thought you wouldn't get a mention on transfer deadline day, you were wrong. Are you ready for this? BBC Lincolnshire report that 20-year-old Gunners defender Gavin Hoyte has extended his loan deal at Lincoln until the end of the season. You can pick yourselves up off the floor now...

And Wilshere on Twitter...

"BREAKING TRANSFER NEWS: I have just moved from the sofa to my bed!!"

Sigh... Thats gonna be as good as it gets for Arsenal i reckon... Wenger won't buy...

[BWFC_Insane]

Elmander is going nowhere. I like the fact that people believe a few twitter nice people over Coyle himself!
