Transfer Deadline Day Thread

[kentblues]

How on earth do you have time to do a deal in half an hour, what about the medical?

I think a deal can be subject to a medical (dont know). If this where not the case no offeres would be made for anyone on the last day unless the clubs were very close geographically

Thanks Ferdinand for your services, best youth since Moussa, will have to work hard to make it in the championship but he is still 19. 200k over 3 years is probably okay for him....we might regret it if he does flourish in the championship but I don't feel he would have been able to develop to that potential level, whilst in this league anyway.

From CPs tweets we had accepted 250k bid certainly an hour before the deadline by the looks of it so Blackpool were probably in before 10pm
How it could take that long to agree terms if you are desperate to go I dont know- it seems odd. Southend would have everything ready to go for the fax whilst terms were discussed- there seems more to it than meets the eye but whether we get to know I dont know. Hoever, would not be surprised to see Ryan and the club make a statement as it will help manage the fans who will somehopw think Ryan is somehow at fault for daring to want to play for a side challenging potentially for the premiership.


I would have though and hour or even half an hour would be enough for a L2 player on L2 wages to decide to sign for a championship side on championship wages- who know, agent yet again try to be to clever by half and playing games with Blackpool?? If so get a new agent dont blame Southend..

Spot on here about the time it takes to make a deal.

They didn't ring up at 10:55 and say right we want him, it would have been known for a while, I'm sure.
