Bit of a surprising U-turn. I'm guessing he's realising he has no better offers. Also rumours suggesting Ange has swayed him. You can't say no to big Ange when he comes calling
Could also be that he turned down us initially because he wanted a loan move instead of permanent transfer and now we've agreed to that he was open to the move.
Always found deadline day so stupid. Let's all wait for the final 12 hours to get our business done. People running football clubs like doing their big shop on a Sunday afternoon. Made all the more mind numbing by how busy the December-January period is. The schedule softens up for most over the next month.
Brighton have signed Stefanos Tzimas from FC Nurnberg. Apparently we inquired and held talks but we couldnt guarantee the playing time he desired ? Real coup for Brighton
Loaned back to them for the rest of the season. So today they bought him, sold him and loaned him back
Still, it's an astute move from Brighton ,already being spoken of as a generational talent and Brighton have moved quickly to procure those talents for the future ? Brighton seem to be the Dortmund of English football in so much as they profit from the escalation in value when they eventually sell. It's been their blueprint for a while now and a rather successful one at that.
The quietest transfer window in our history, I think. Only links are to a couple of youngsters from the lower leagues as ones for the future. We definitely feel as though we can reach our goals (whatever the hell these are right now) with the squad we have. We've even returned Ward-Prowse as getting Danilo and Sangare back is like 2 new signings. No doubt if we now drop out of the European places, the same media that have rinsed us for signing "too many players" over the last 2 seasons will rinse us for not adding to the squad in this window
Weird seeing Rashford in a Villa shirt & reckon now he's escaped from 'Plan A' Amorim's shitshow he'll do well .
