It forced us to sell those two players and it's stopped us from "pumping investment" like other clubs around us cos we have different PSR losses. I'm not happy that we haven't signed anyone, and I'm not making excuses for it, but do we have to go back and relitigate the unavoidable PSR sales. Next season we should just take a points deduction and people can moan about why no one at the club did anything about it. PSR is the source of all of our frustration. It's what meant that we didn't sign a RW while we were focused on Guehi cos there was only money for one. The focus on Guehi and Guehi only is for someone at the club to explain, but the rest is a function of PSR.

Fine. Wallow in misery about things that you know perfectly well had to happen to avoid a points deduction. I'm sorry for having to be sensible and point this out FOR THE HUNDREDTH FUCKING TIME.

I wonder if they've got different accumulated PSR losses to us. It couldn't be that, could it?

It's like living on a dementia ward, this.

If PSR didn't exist you'd be spot on. But it does, so you're not.

He likes Munchen. Munchen FOOF amirite!? *we're all high fiving*

It's PSR PROFIT that we have to make on players. You can't make that on has beens and never weres. That's the fault of the rules, not the people running the club.

The sales we needed to make to not breach PSR?

John Hall getting Jenrick into SJP and filming a promo video for his leadership bid. What a fucking Tory rat that bloke is.

Dr Tit Sweat

Dr Panic Stations.

This doesn't look like the cold as steel Dr Gloom that estate agents across the country fear.

After all of the protesting and the "we should have walked away", you're ready to pay £70m on deadline day.

Another "like", but this is the last one.

I'm just gonna give you a "like" and we need never speak of this again.

NRL?

Pearson starts talking and suddenly subtitles start appearing.

Flex is fucking hilarious. Man United's window is irrelevant cos they don't have a personnel problem, they have a coaching problem. Maybe they should get me on to school Flex.

Still an outside chance it goes through today. Us "walking away" might have prompted the player to pick up the phone to Parrish or something. Re your last point @Kid Dynamite, it sounds like we had other targets but they moved elsewhere earlier in the window while we focused on Guehi. If that's the case, it would be a mistake to magic up a new target at this stage.

Aye, good outcome but a shite way to get there. Hope your mam's OK.

I've already spoken. It's relegation time.

The Shields Gazette reckons we might still be in for Simakan.

Yeah I do. Cos if he's just reporting facts, where's the problem. He's not there to be a happy clapper.

Hope is now reporting that Arsenal have expressed an interest in Gordon. He reckons he's staying.

The only thing we appear to have fucked up is the focus on Guehi to the exclusion of all other options. If the window finishes with no further signings, that's a fuck up. But I'm not entertaining any shite about selling Minteh and Anderson contributing to a poor window. Those were basically compulsory transactions. No one should be getting the blame for them. Let's see what happens tomorrow. There's still time for something to happen if we've kept some options open.
