These "Deadline Day" extensions? 00:10 - Sep 2 with 1647 views | scottishjack | Is it just that SKY didn't get the headlines they wanted? And now they are scrambling around trying to make it all sound very exciting? To be honest, I'm glad we haven't had any dramas today, it shows that we had the bulk of our business done in good time without any panic. This "Deadline Day" thing is a media created farce... | | | | |

While it's been a poor deadline day for Swansea, the transfer window as a whole has been okay. We've lost a significant amount of first team players but we've replaced most adequately. | |

David Egdar wasn't it? And then it turned out we hadn't signed him after all? | | | |

give it a rest Dwight. Poor deadline day? We've ended the day with Bony - ask any Arsenal or Spurs fan what they would think of that. And, a well run club doesn't make huge signings on the last day - that is the sign of a badly run, badly organised shambles paying over the odds for players to appease their fans despite them not being in the positions where such a club is weak.

Frankly, I think it’s clubs that do business on the last day who are doing poor business. Window is open for 3 months and they go crazy on the last day/hour, which is 3 weeks into the season. Madness. | |

These "Deadline Day" extensions? on 00:33 - Sep 2 with 1279 views | deanscfc | We kept Bony which is the main thing but its poor from the point of view that Monks 2-3 new signings didn't happen. Injuries will see us very light in midfield and at fullback. | | | |

exactly - it's the same clubs every time - QPR, Cardiff, Hull have joined in the madness. Man Utd desperately trying to do stuff because they're crapping themselves. It's interesting though that some of the 'big' deals didn't happen even involving the nut cases this time. Can only imagine what Borini was asking for if QPR wouldn't agree to it ! Even more interesting in some ways that the 2 teams at the top of the table (lol) haven't signed anyone today - perhaps that's why we (and Chelsea) have started well - proper planning. | | | |

if the notion that replacing JDG with Gylfi, Chico with Fernandez, Pablo with Montero, Michu with Gomis, Canans with Ki / Carroll, Vorm with Fabianski is 'adequate' then God help us all. | | | |

Well considering Garry felt that the squad still needed at least another two players as of last night and we have failed to sign them then yes it has been a poor deadline day. | |

There is always the freebie list, if we really wanted to get more in - not that I think we need a LB or RW that much. | |

Only adequate? Really? I know it's early days but they aren't doing too bad, are they? Who else would you have liked brought in? There is always the loan window. | | | |

Maybe Dwight signed outside the window as he was without a contract. Also With was an odd one - announced late then a big hoohaa over paper work then he never played. | |

Indeed. Gary wanted two players and we did not get them. Maybe poor was not the right word but ' disappointing' certainly was. Unless of course these players have signed and we have to wait for clearance issues etc. | |

I think ' a little disappointing in some respects and fantastic in others' would be appropriate. I'm in the 'most important thing was to keep Bony' camp I'm afraid. transfer deadline day works both ways - it's inappropriate to only look at one side. And the reality is that buying people for the sake of 'numbers' hardly ever works. If the players that we want are not available at the price that we want there's not a lot we can do about it. We could buy 'anyone' but what's the point. If we bought A N Other left back for example because the one we wanted was not available to us, why would they be better as an option than Jazz? If the replacement is no better than what's in the squad anyway, I can't see the point. | | | |

I agree with all that. I just feel it should not even have come down to the final day. We have had more than enough time to complete the signings and Gary has been asking for them for long enough. I am disappointed they have not come in but pleased Bony is staying. Having said that I would have been a very unhappy bunny this morning if Bony had gone on the last day despite us failing to complete our transfer business :-) | |

These "Deadline Day" extensions? on 13:04 - Sep 2 with 565 views | Phil_S | Sky are under the wonderful impression that the window closes and no deals happen unless they have reported it there and then Amusingly they always forget that the paperwork just needs to be registered with the relevant authorities to make it a done deal not announced through the reporter stood outside making a drama out of a day that really isn't one Great TV mind and proof that Sky think they run football | | | |
