Transfer Window - Summer 2015

[Downsouth 6,327]

Can't help feeling we have missed out on a future gem with that lad

With less than 4 hours left, what do we think we still need?

 

For me it is a LW/LAM, a speedy ST/CF & a CM. I know we still have the loan window but I think i'm right in saying we can't do season long loans then? So best to get it done now really.

Charlie Austin reportedly rejected a move to Palace...

Wing and a prayer... Carlos De Pena is still a race against time with added turbulence .... the flight from Sao Paulo is 800 miles away above the Atlantic and is due into Heathrow at about 3.30pm - but who knows what twists and turns have taken place between the competing interests with a slice of the players registration while it has been airborne? Or who is on it?

 

We understand that De Pena stopped off in Sao Paulo for a medical during the wait for the connecting flight.

 

A representative of Nacional's top brass is on the plane though and was scheduled to meet with Boro officials at Heathrow on touchdown where the registration paperwork could be done quickly and whisked off the the FA.

 

However, naturally, things are far from smooth – in fact is is all a bit of a chew on - with the internal conflict between the various factions back in Uruguay still not resolved and with fans also kicking off about losing a star player and applying political pressure on the board to pull the plug.

I'm starting to think the only player we are after is De Pena but that will probably fall through, Plus we are going to be stuck with Adomah who doesn't want to be hear.

 

Under 4 hours to go of the transfer window.. It's a big few hours regarding our automatic promotion chances IMO.

Still the emergency loan window. Don't think it's quite that dramatic! :P

 

Adomah out and De Pena in and i'll be happy.

So he had the medical last night?

Bristol City sign Liam Moore from Leicester. Good signing, that.

 

Sheff Wed about to make a move for Gary Hooper.

If we finish the day with the squad we started we will go up

 

If we lose Albert we will go up

 

If we sign a lad from Uruguay that will probably take a while to find his feet we will go up

 

If Albert stays we will go up

If De Pena did indeed have a medical in Sao Paulo before the connecting flight, it must have been a very quick one. He would have had only 3 hours in Sao Paulo tops. There's so much conflicting information, including reports that he'll give a press conference after the medical. Well, there's been no press conference yet, so I would expect him on the plane from Brazil in less than 1 hour from now.
