Dean deal was agreed, but we wanted him up and running for that price. He wasn't.

They sold Moylan earlier in the summer and got the same increase of revenue as we did. It's not all up-front either.

Team news will be interesting tomorrow

That's what all the additional bonuses mentioned are for

Reading into that, you could get 5-10 million for him after a good season

1.25M is what they paid for him I think? You could be right though. Sounds like we've backloaded a bunch of contingency payments on this, would be surprised if the initial outlay is over 500K.

We need to get into a position where we're signing 3-5 a window, and not 12-14

Looking at that squad above, I feel like we've invested really well AND haven't been over-reliant on loan signings. Obviously more work to be done now and January but we've future-proofed it to an extent.

If they're to play tomorrow, they would have to be registered by now. Tick tock.

No, you usually get a week to pay. The likes of Fergal and his admin team will be working today

To be honest, I think that's what we needed; evolution, not revolution. 12 signings (will be 13-14 by the end of Tuesday) is heck of a lot, that's on the back of a season where there were 20 incomings.

Mr Pisspot by any chance?

They've just signed a 6ft8 Danish striker!

I had to check this as it seems surprising and it is indeed correct. With 12 in and only 3 loans currently, the squad is much stronger, apart from up-front.

Most of it is actually in Canada

Schuey's first signing! Although tbf it had been agreed beforehand

I don't think so, but he's not going to get it right every match.

On another day we would have won that 3-1. Can't get worked up about it.

Is Larry the new scapegoat?

If this means we redouble our efforts for a goalscorer, then okay.

It's to support the daughter of the first-team chef, James Berry.

Surely he's wind-powered?

I remember he was quite complimentary about us, just that he preferred the Italian style of play

Yep. Randall, Warren and 1/2 of the keepers have to be priority now. Wonder with the chaos of deadline day if we do get tested with an unexpected bid for somebody; however with a game that evening it's almost certainly a 'no'.
