2 totally separate deals, not connected in any way.

This must be up there with Marcelo Sarmiento +sp

Saphir #Taider is returning to #SerieA after a short stay at #Southampton - #Sassuolo have snapped him up.

I've seen a couple between foreign clubs in the past, but not EPL sides.

Torres to Milan is almost done, which has opened the door for Remy to Chelsea.

Didn't they send up club staff the day before to change all the mattresses and sheets in the hotel rooms??? To be fair, even if that did seem a little OTT, we had our best season on the road last year!

Liverpool paid top dollar for it. It's head lights were already in Liverpool.

I think this is where Gaston can come into his own, probably not as early as Saturday, but in Koeman he has actually come out and acknowledged what a talented player he is.....and going back to his first year here, he wasn't ''all'' bad when Adkins used him correctly and the youtube highlight videos of our season are quite telling, as he was involved a hell of a lot in the first half. For whatever reason, MP isolated him for almost 18 months and didn't use him at all. If Koeman can get Gaston performing at the level he did in the Villa game 2/3 years ago....then we will no longer have any issues with subtlety in attack!

And Man Utd will be credited with developing Luke Shaw in a couple of years time.

But still pretty ****.

I think we'll see an arsenal team with the likes of Joel Campbell, Podolski, Gnabry, Monreal, Ospina, Coquelin, Diaby (if fit) and the likes. Not a bad team, but certainly a team our 'first 11' could cause problems for.

Brek Shea?

I'm sure Yoshida has played right back on a couple of occasions for us, during which he was absolutely bloody dog ****e. I think our best bet is to sign a right back who can also cover CB.

I too have wondered if it's a case of LVG not fancying him, I think Shaw was a transfer lined up by the club - rather than the manager himself, but I'm sure he was consulted. But it seems odd the way that he seems to be pursuing £19m left back Daley Blind....if that happens, then I'm not really sure what the future holds for Luke in the short-term.

I'm sure we'll see the international federations grant 'special' dispensation/leave for a few players on Monday, and there will be a few late arrivals in the squads. And it's only a friendly window, so I'm not sure the international federations will have a great deal of power in stopping multi million pound deals going through.

No idea what Brek Shea is all about, probably just agent waffle. If it did happen, then we're clearly a club with no real idea what we're doing! So much for world-wide scouts...

There's no way he will leave, as if he did, the club would have made one of the worlds great former players look an absolute prize prat. I cannot see someone as staunch and direct as Koeman taking too kindly to being made to look like a fool... That's why it cannot happen now. The repercussions are much more than us just losing a player.

It is a strange one, maybe the club just don't fancy him? It's hard to say he has to prove himself, as he's proven himself for 2 seasons in the PL! And the club offered Fonte and Reed new contracts without allowing them to 'prove' themselves to the new manager. I reckon this will be a classic contract wind down job and will end up with us being forced to cash in during January for £2m or something - the club will still see it as making a profit on him though.

He's a multi million pound footballer on a shed load of wages, and owned by a dodgy sports agency. He won't serve any time behind bars.

Monday has the potential to be one of the most manic deadline days for a long time. Utd still have a bucket load of stuff to do, both in and out. And hopefully, we'll have a bit of interest on deadline day for a change.

It's Javi MK2.

At least Brek Shea could add some ammunition to our attack. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2348017/Brek-Shea-pictured-big-guns.html (sorry)

Well, that would be a pretty atrocious signing.

I don't think Komean was stating unrealistic in terms of player stature, but unrealistic because he's already done a deal elsewhere.

We are hearing that Manchester United have agreed a deal with Aston Villa for Tom Cleverley. A fee of £8million has been mooted for the England international. Wow, they actually are doing it.
