Morning all,
Happy Deadline Day.
So not ITK except for this site and media, so please let me know if I am missing anything. Players in:
AOC - Pretty much done
VVD - No news updates, plenty want him including Southampton! We need this one over all others right now - have negotiations been happening behind closed doors? I hope so.
Lemar - Fee to be agreed - some mention of this being completed and player moving next summer - can't see it if Coutinho goes.
Players out:
Coutinho - The purported £148mil deal may well be enough, and think the Lemar rumours are a result of this.
Sakho - Bids rejected around £25mil we are asking for £30mil! Got to reduce his price to sell.
Markovic - I can see a loan at best now.
Mignolet - I can't see this happening right now - it's too late.
Origi - Can see the loan move happening
Sturridge - Stays.
Can - Will stay until his contract ends next summer then go for free.
Trying to cover all and not added clubs as too much, please add / correct me. It will be interesting at the end of Spanish window (tomorrow) to see how the above stands.
Thanks.

Fair assessment for me. Maybe can will go on a bit through the year but yeah I'd say that's fairly close to our state of affairs.

Akshit - what do they call that again? When they tell press one thing and do something else on the quiet! Ha ha Konoplyanka - blast from the past mate.
