Supposedly, Assombalonga (sp?) has followed, then unfollowed, Derby's official twitter acct.

So...Britt Assombalonga started to follow Derby then immediately unfollowed? New signing revealed too early? #dcfc

Now Villa have brought another striker, do you reckon we could put in a cheeky bid for Gustede

Some reports on twitter saying Cyriac has completed his medical and will join tomorrow.

Bit worried that Cyriac won't be enough, and the skeptic in me says, that it'll just be like us to fall short once again. Shame, because we've had a really good window, but hope we have something up our sleeves.

Well, one more day for 4-5 more more signings and 2 quality strikers.

I have zero faith that will happen. I predict one striker and it will be a let down, and that will be it.

I don't think anyone imagines that we'll sign 4-or-5 players tomorrow. Apart from a couple of strikers, where else do you think we need to strengthen?

We are usually let down on deadline day, aren't we?
Except for Murphy perhaps..

Gyan move called off by both parties, Gyan to consider lives to other uk based clubs and those in the UAE

UAE's very nice this time of year. Etihad Airlines Term 4 Heathrow.

Apparently Reading tried to get him to drop out of the Africa Nations Cup and Gyan said no


Now, I'm going to be a bit Mandy Rice-Davies here. Nobody is going to go on the record if there has been a failed medical.
Can't see why Reading wouldn't say so, their fans would want to know

I'm sure the fans would want to know. Fans want to know all sorts of things.
But it could be very damaging to a player's future if a negative result of a medical were made public, aside from any patient confidentiality that might apply.
I remember there was an almighty row when we pulled out of the John Carew transfer and announced that he had a dodgy knee. Valencia obtained contrary medical opinion and a big money legal war was threatened.
I can't remember how it panned out but Carew subsequently played several hundred games at the top level without any limbs falling off.

Stearman back to Wolves on a season long loan rumour seems a shame. But almost expected. As for not getting the forwards we want. Well I will moan about it if and/or it happens. Saying we will not get them after the successful transfer window we have had so far is a bit previous as somebody may have said.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

Plenty will happen tomorrow I should think.

I bet you can't wait to see some more mid field players mince or maybe a few center backs?

It's been a brilliant window and would be great to get another striker in but if it doesn't happen so be it.

Did you not notice the signings of Jozabed, Kebano, Sigurdsson and Johansen?

One decent striker would be satisfactory, two would be something special.
