    Man Utd fan here, so we are crying out for a left-back, and we are going to let Harry Amass leave rather than give him an opportunity. One injury to Shaw or Dorgu and we are down to one specialist LB in the squad. Shameful from Ineos.

    Paul

    Not happy with Man Utd's window. Need an LB and RB. A CF that can score. Sesko has had time to settle in by now. We're trying to build a squad on a shoestring. Hall should have been bought. Everyone else is paying silly money this window.

    Manchester United have failed in their attempts to sign highly-rated midfielder Louis Page from Leicester City.

    United's interest in Page was first reported by BBC Sport in August.

    However, the first sign of a problem was Page being named in Leicester's starting line-up for their League One fixture against Plymouth on Tuesday.

    It was then confirmed by sources the deal will not be concluded and Page will remain a Leicester player.

    It is understood the Foxes wanted well in excess of £10m for the 18-year-old, who only made his first team debut in August 2025, but has already carved out an impressive reputation, making 25 appearances in total.

    It was anticipated United were willing to loan Page straight back to Leicester, given they have already spent in excess of £150m on international midfielders this summer.

  3. One club we haven't discussed much today is Manchester United.

    Might be on my own but this is a boring deadline day, money's ruined the game.

    I know the cost of living and inflation are high, but some of these fees banded around today are just ridiculous.

  5. 'Another solid signing'

    Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini on Sunderland's deal for Kevin Danso:

    "I think they are sensible signings."

    "They're not going to make the blood rush through the veins of Sunderland supporters as far as attacking options or how dynamic they are but you need players like this to build your team around so that the Enzo Le Fees and the [Chris] Riggs and the [Noah] Sadikis can go and be a little bit more expansive."

    "So, yes, another solid signing which we've made quite a number of those over the last couple of years."

  6. Spurs' Danso joins Sunderland

    Tottenham have agreed a £2.5m loan deal for Kevin Danso to join Sunderland for the remainder of the season.

    The Wearside club will have a £22.5m obligation to buy fee if Regis Le Bris' side stay in the Premier League.

    The 27-year-old has not featured in the Premier League this season under Roberto de Zerbi, but he scored in his League Cup appearance against Charlton Athletic.

    Chelsea continue to have a scattergun approach to their transfers, and many will have an underwhelming impact. However, the signings of Rogers and Martinez are going to be gamechangers for us, expect us to be solidly in the Top 4 and hopefully pushing Arsenal for the title!

    Fulham are in advanced talks to sign David Affengruber from Elche, but with work still to be done.

    The Austria international, 25, is keen on a move to Craven Cottage where officials are confident of completing a move before Tuesday's deadline.

    It would be the third potential addition of the day, alongside two midfielders - Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Larsson and Real Madrid's Miguel Angel, who have both been completing medicals in London.

    They are also looking at potentially adding a right-back before the deadline.

  11. What is a transfer deal sheet?

    Ask Me Anything

    Clubs sometimes conclude deals at the last minute and it is not always easy for them to get everything completed and sent over by the deadline.

    The deal sheet allows a club to confirm that a deal has been reached in order to allow for additional time to submit the remaining documentation.

    For a deadline of 23:00, the deal sheet cannot be used before 21:00 and needs to arrive fully completed before the transfer window closes.

    Once the sheet arrives, clubs have got another two hours, or until 01:00, in which to submit the full paperwork.

  12. Three hours to go...

    WAHHHH.

    This is your three-hour klaxon.

    The Premier League transfer window will shut in three hours time. There's still plenty of time for those last-minute deals to get over the line. And of course still time to get a deal sheet prepped...

    The 20-year-old made his senior debut against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup in 2024 and has made 12 appearances in all competitions.

    Abbott, who has come through the club's academy, said: “I had memorable experiences last year that have given me even more hunger to improve and continue my development.

    "This club has been my home for nearly 10 years, and I have a big sense of pride every time I pull on the shirt."

    I have a feeling Spurs are going to announce a big signing before the window is up. Something tells me they won't be happy losing out on Ndiaye and Gakpo...

  17. Not loads going on here, is there?

    Remember we're still waiting for updates on Jack Grealish's return to Everton, confirmation of Iliman Ndiaye's move to Manchester City and Enzo Fernandez's switch from Chelsea to City.

    Could there be a big last-minute transfer that catches us all off guard?

    It kind of doesn't feel like it's coming but you never know.

    Someone get tracking some flights or something...
