Wonder what's happened with Torreira. Felt out of favour so quickly.
What an anticlimax of a deadline day.
I really expected a host of loan deals for some higher profile players.
Looks like everyone 'sticking'.
All they have to do is pay the release clause amount (€ 50m I believe) - if they pay that, he's theirs, if they don't, he isn't.Other than us signing Skriniar, the only thing that can bring joy to me today is the goon's deal for Partey collapsing ?

Don't tell them what to do!!!!United should go for Lemar. Need a left footed attacker really. On loan would be decent. Would have taken him as at his peak he is only behind bale and son for those positions but we are too socked there.

Thing is everyone wants loan to buy, however they are more complicated than actual transfers to complete. The risk of a straight loan for an established player is greater than say a young player going out on loan.Think teams and agents just don’t realize the economic turmoil everyone is in. Prices are just too high and havent come down. Thats why only simple loans are on offer and seemingly everyone is scrambling. Think this will end up being very anti climactic with far fewer deals happening than usual. Levy got whatever done he could without outgoings but has run into it on the outgoings and Skriniar.
I'm surprised all the big teams aren't in for Partey at that price. He's always been great when I've watched him. What am I missing?
It's the fact like all release clauses that the fee has to be paid in one bulk installment. Ex. Griezmann and Joao Felix both went for one big payment of more than 100mil. Huge outlay for any club. Arse bought Pepe but only pay like 15 mil a year for 5 years. They'd have to pay 45 mil right now for partey. Big sum.I'm surprised all the big teams aren't in for Partey at that price.

It's attitude rather than talent that's led Arteta to ditch him. The money spat he had with Maupay in the summer when Brighton beat them was apparently the final straw, Arteta has made him train with the U23s since.
