We've asked for an extension to the Premier League for Silva and Drinkwater deals the club told Sky
 
This from John Percy

The Portugal international flew into England for talks on Thursday evening and sealed a £22 m move, 12 months after almost joining with former Sporting Lisbon team-mate Islam Slimani.

He probably had a deadline for tomorrow's paper, so counted his chicken nuggets before they were hatched.
 
It's ridiculous than companies turning over hundreds of millions a year can piss about all summer, and then leave it to the last minute before trying to get important deals done.

Yup. Not too surprising. The whole thing is idiotic. No person who kicks a ball for a living is worth even a 6 figure sum in my view.
 
For international transfers, the deadline is midnight even if we've asked for the extra two hours.

From the rules:


Deal sheets – Sometimes it is not easy for clubs to get everything on a deal completed and sent over to the Premier League by the deadline. The deal sheet allows a club to confirm that a deal has been reached and to allow for additional time to submit the remaining documentation.

The sheet cannot be used until two hours before the deadline and needs to arrive fully completed before the transfer window closes. Once the sheet arrives, clubs have an additional two hours after the window closes to submit the full paperwork. But if a club are looking to complete an international transfer, they still have to comply with the FIFA TMS of deadline of midnight.
 
Well I for one ain't waiting up til 1am.

I'm not sure about this Silva signing. Last summer it seemed like a potentially exciting signing, but then so did Slimani and one year later Slimani hasn't been particularly good and can now barely get in the team.

It's just ridiculous. There should be no grounds for these teams having extensions having had all summer to sort this.
 
if we only lose Drinkwater for £30m+, keep Mahrez, Gray AND sign Silva, Dragovic, Maguire, Iheanacho, Jakupovic then i will be happy as larry
the fact Musa and Mendy will also be out on loan is not a bad result.
 
It's been such a relief to see Vardy and Kasper kept well away from this nonsense, other than a few made up rumours.

Even if we lose DD, to only have lost two of our champions by the January of the following season is remarkable.
 
Not got a good feeling on this now, Brighton confirm they have an extension confirmed but all quiet on the Belvoir Drive front now!
 
But Mahrez can still sign for Barca, Sevilla or Atletico if he wants to tomorrow as far as i understand it? Or Monaco for that matter, they've got a bit of cash kicking about.

Has Musa left?
