What's the current state of play? I can't keep up with it!

Deathly silent. Gards had a pretty sad face on twitter. So the optimists think it is still alive and the pessimists think its done and dusted. Not sure anyone's certainty is well placed but pessimism is currently on the rise.

It looks like it’s dead but you just never know. We maintain a slither of hope, all it takes is a fax to be agreed, we have two hours.

fantastic window imo even without him but this was one that I most wanted I think we have been crying out for a player like this.

Still a bit worried about RB but with TN GLC RS and not losing CE, DR and TA (if they are indeed staying :)) that is more than I could of wished for.

Even when it flipped back and forth earlier, there was still constant optimism from enough people to make it still viable.
That has all gone silent now.
Looks like it’s over and down with now.
I think the loan possibility is more blind hope than reality, but it’s still nice to dream.

Ndombele, Lo Celso, Clarke & Sessegnon we’d have all taken at the start of the window, but that was based on Eriksen staying or being replaced outside of the four above. Dybala would have been the ideal fix for that. Maybe even loan with option, to allow flexibility for Eriksen situation.

Lets see what happens with Nkoudou and Wanyama.

Just out of interest if there is a loan deal with option to buy can that option be taken up at any point through the season? As I understand it Betis took up the option on Lo Celso in April before the window opened but I don't know if their season had finished.

Yes, I believe this can happen. That’s how Chelsea got around their transfer ban. Registration of Dybala would have passed to us due to his loan status, if we then convert that loan to permanent, then that’s just between us and Juve, has no bearing on his registration. It’s the registration which is bounded by the PL windows.

Why wouldn't image rights be an issue if we loaned him?

If Gards has called it, then I would say finito to Dybala happening. I'm on that cliff edge now, holding on by my fingernails, slowly watching Dybala Ebb away as the clock ticks away. I wonder if we have something up our sleeves ready to go? I'm not comfy with the idea of Eriksen being around for a few weeks, only to say "see ya later bitches".
