Don't understand. He recently signed a new contract didn't he?  I know they don't mean anything but why do it?

They say he signed a new deal and got a mill pay off cos it had a 19m release clause in it.

Also, he was offered to Chelsea and they said no

[Danny]

Why the fuck is he wearing a watch

Is the Defoe/Altidore deal a straight swap?

Yep

Looks like Yann M'Vila's loan at Inter will be terminated and West Ham and QPR are interested in bringing him in.

Remember being gutted we missed out when we were linked with him and he went to Rubin. Looks now like we dodged a bullet.

[Rhys]

He always seemed on of these players with a bit of a screw loose. Liverpool rumoured to be looking at signing song wonder if west ham lining up a replacement?

Why are Sky hyping up Deadline Day when it's two weeks out like it's some kind of major PPV event?

To be fair it is a main event when you think about it. Worryingly people take the day off work for it! Think it's all daft myself but you can't help get caught up when your clubs involved in transfers.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it go PPV in the future.

But why advertise it two weeks out?  I understand for PPVs and your trying to generate buys, but to see Jim White and his shitty yellow tie talk to a reporter getting attacked with a purple dildo? Nah.

Haha they're just hyping it up to get more viewers. It'll work too.

[Gumpinio]

If they have Kate Abdo thay have my undivided attention.
If we try to buy someone on deadline day whilst Adbo is presenting, someone will need to remind me to breath.

[Confucius]

Doesn't @jimmywhack usually take the day off for it

Sky Sports News has pretty much become synonymous with transfer deadline day especially as they have the personnel, technology and logistics to keep up to date with developments and are quite good at dramatising things. The fact is any big deal can happen and it could come from the most unlikely club for the most unlikely player. For example, last season we went into the beginning of transfer deadline day thinking the only deal we would get is Gareth Barry on loan with Fellaini possibly leaving, by the end, we did get Barry on loan, but we also sold Fellaini for an astonishing £27m, bought McCarthy in a deal worth up to £15m and we even managed to secure Lukaku on loan.

So knowing that millions of people in the country could be watching SSN at any time during deadline day, it must mean that they can charge companies more for TV adverts during commercial breaks which seem to occur every 10 minutes on that day.
