For the best. Good luck Ollie.

Good luck, lad, make a big impact and come back brimming with confidence.

I'd rather no more players instead of panic-buys

This has been a gre

Didn't say we didn't. It wouldn't be the end of the world though as they'll manage.

Theteam we have today is in a much better place than it was under LW. The business the Swans have completed already this window is great - the best in a long, long time!

We're going to see what VIP is capable of up-front and I think he'll surprise - but only if we give him fair game time. Now, it's not to say I don't want to see a new striker - or Idah - but if Celtic screw the deal then it won't be a huge blow moving forward.

Yeah. And Vipotnik gets injured away in international duty this week and is out for two months.

What then? We have no recognised striker apart from a young lad.

We’ve let three strikers go this window. We need one in.

Did Indy post something saying we’ve signed Patrick Roberts then delete it?

Anyone know why the deadline was moved to 7pm tonight instead fo the usual midnight?
Really up against it to get these deals over the line now.

Not sure of the reason but the window has been open for months, 4-5 hours being cut off the final day shouldn't make that much of a difference in terms of a club getting their deals done

Window should shut two weeks before the start of the season and stay shut until after the final day of the season.

Window should shut two weeks before the start of the season and stay shut until after the final day of the season.

Window should be done away with altogether. Back to the way it used to be. One transfer deadline late in the season.

Absolutely correct.

I think it was to reduce the amount of unsociable hours. It makes sense really like you said most of the transfer will have been done well before the deadline.

I love all the people saying they wouldn't be bothered if we were left with one striker who has had two decent weeks in the past year, a back up who isn’t a striker and a youngster.

Are you mad

Anyway - surely Idah will not be held back by Celtic now? It would be unbelievably ridiculous.

Agree on the last part, but if the option was a last minute panic buy on a 3-4 year contract or sticking with Cullen, Vipotnik and Wales I’d still go for the latter.

Have seen enough of the other signings we’ve made to believe it wouldn’t put us in any danger of a relegation battle even without a better centre forward.

It depends on whether avoiding relegation this season is the aim? Given noises off, I suspect it absolutely is not.

I agree re avoiding panic buys. But a loan would be vital. Otherwise one injury and we have no one. Even our best youngster out on loan.

Anthony Joseph claiming we are trying to sign Benson after his move to Celtic fell through (didn’t even know he was meant to be going there) if we do this, it’ll be one of the best deadline day deals we’ve done in a long time.

Praying we get it done in time what a signing he would be for us.

That would massively favour the richer teams who could cover injuries / loss of form when others couldn’t. This way evens it out a little as clubs can’t pack huge squads due to limits on players being declared as a final squad.
