I'm guessing Richard Keys is guess editor this week.
So the window is shut, but the transfers will continue until tomorrow as they do every year
Spuds complete the signing of Sissoko on a 5 year deal.
Incredible how any club can seem to pull 30m out of their arse these days. Surely BT and Sky can't afford to keep this level of investment up? The bubble has to burst one day.
Is it any wonder why United had to pay 89m for Pogba when 30m is the seemingly the standard price for average players now.

Pochettino continues to turn Spurs into a sub-Chelsea, big strong, powerful, athlete ball, tactical fouling mean machine. They're big, they're strong, they've got power and pace, they epitomise the PL and Poch is a genius.
Chelsea's incomings are a bit strange. Kante aside, it's all slapdash. Batshit cost a shitload, but is a Costa understudy. Alonso and Luiz. Imagine if dithering, out-of-touch Arsenal made such underwhelming signings which barely improve the team.
The Wilshere thing is plain weird. If he stays fit for the whole season, I suppose it's a positive. But he'll probably be in a relegation fight. And you know Xhaka/Cazorla/Elneny are going to succumb to the 3-4 month injury blow soon enough.
Worst of all, the slimy Chavs have strengthened PSG just before we play them.
He's just an average player. Occasionally he turns it on in a game and goes on a few lung busting runs past a few players. Just as he did in the Euro final, which made him stand out for half the game, as everyone else on the pitch had forgotten the reason they were in that stadium.
The only reason I can think Conte has gone after Luiz is because of his mobility and speed. I haven't seen a Chelsea game yet but apparently Conte is a fan of pressing up the pitch and a high line defensively. Cahill and Terry aren't going to be your first picks for a relay team, so I guess he wants someone that can cover ground quickly. That part Luiz can do. The only problem is when he gets close to the ball, he forgets which side he is playing for.
