It switches back and forwards between 11pm and 6pm regularly. I'm sure it was 6pm when we signed VDV and Keane for the second time.

It was 11pm when we signed VDV. I remember waiting until about half 12 for Peanut to confirm the paperwork had gone through.

if this is the case, at least I don't go to bed with the last thing seen on TV being the smug, potato face of Bryan Swanson...every cloud eh.

Also means we don't have to wait up all night to hear that Pochettino is happy just to add a couple of obscure squad players.

Hmm. Maybe someone can find the original thread. I certainly remember confirmation on VDV came a lot later than when the window shut.

Yeah, you're not wrong. I was just saying it's not unusual to have a 6pm deadline and giving examples.

I'm sure it was a 6pm one as I just got home from work and it was all kicking off.

I guess we all just remeber when we heard it.

Like when JFK died

When Klinsmann signed

When Diana died

When the twin towers came down

When Vdv signed

When we sold Jenas


We all remember exactly where we were when we heard

It came the next day I thought. The confirmation.

It was Peanut on COYS that confirmed it, several hours after the deadline. He was an ITK that was up there with JJ for reliability. I thought it was after midnight but I guess it could have been around 10 or 11 on deadline day.

The deal was confirmed as having gone through well after the deadline, which was 6pm.

The first news of the transfer came at around 6pm though.
