Before Swansea he said the exact same words. First time of listening i could work out he was telling the interviewer he doesnt think about the window now and has just seen his side lose and have 4pts from 4 games. Words to the effect of "our business is finished" id be more inclined to think the market is closed for the club

Listen to the interview, Sky annoy me sometimes with their misleading headlines.

He said the exact words "For me the transfer window is closed" before we played Swansea. Since then Baba and Pedro have arrived, and Stones was wanted. 24hrs ago he was on about getting someone in before Tuesday. That is why i think his words are being taken out of context and he actually meant he isnt bothered about transfers right now, not thinking about it the board deal with it all

I know he supposedly said to the BBC "the next 2 days is the last time i am going to ask my club for players" How to interpret that is open to question Just listened to the interview with sky sports where he says the window is closed, and it came across more like right now at this point in time he is not thinking about the market and it's all left with the board He was asked does he think there'll be some movement before tuesday and responded "i dont think about this and i dont care i am the coach and my responsibility is to get the best out of the players i have"

missed that. what were they

Im going to say if we sign a CB and CM by Tuesday. Itll be Garay and Witsel from Zenit

are you trolling lol. Considering yesterday he was only talking about getting someone in by the deadline.

Correct. But id bet my house he is getting loaned out. I'd not be surprised if there is still a first team CB to come in too

If he is as talented as made out, i think he would be generally known to the bigger clubs tbh. Didnt rubbish it though but he wont get a WP so if he is being loaned out, id still imagine a CB will join for the 1st team

One more = CB. I actually hope Linpeng or whatever isnt it Simply because he cant be in the squad now he wont get a WP

Would put his chances of a Work Permit close to zero. So he is off on loan if he comes. Jose claims we want a CB for the first team... if thats true it wont be Linpeng signed

Wonder if he's happy to stay now?

I am expecting a presser of disappointment tomorrow. But at the Same time ill be taking his "window is closed" for us comments with a truckload of salt

if we triggered it? 10

Garay and Abdennour links may not have been the big load of BS i thought

4th bid rejected say mirror. surprise surprise.

100% this. I also think he is going to "claim" our business is done

He wont go AWOL. Thats pushing it. Maybe hand in another TR, and go public himself. But even that is unlikely

Stones if desperate to come here, will hand in a 2nd TR IMO. Unless theyve talked him round today, but the statement is pretty adamant

There is no way theyre selling after a Chariman statement that hes not for sale.

Maybe that link to Aymen Abdennour yesterday wasnt BS?

well hell either withdraw his request or he'll ask to leave again

Stones his agent and Martinez will be sat down today i guess discussing theTr and trying to talk him round.

Let's see how desperate he is to join then. He'll speak to martinez is my guess and either ask to leave again or back down

A transfer request still has to be signed by the player. He signed in of his own accord. The guy wants to leave. He hasnt been forced or whatever martinez said
