Deadline Day thread

I read somewhere, not sure if its true, but from the transfer dealings yesterday the economy will get about £15m from the VAT?

The Torres transfer will have been worth £10M alone; VAT is at 20%, so on £214M of transfers, the Chancellor pocketed £42.8M.

thats a lot of bubbly for the next party at 10 Downing street

Can't wait for the carnage when Gerrard takes Carroll out on a tour of Liverpool's nightclubs......

Is Carroll still under the court order that he live at Kevin Nolan's house? Nasty commute if so...

Was allowed to leave Nolan's after work on his new house was finished.
Will be interesting to see if he plays this season- carrying a mystery injury that did not improve even when the squad went to Portugal. Sent to see Swedish specialist. Has been out since Christmas.

Post deadline, Shefki Kuqi is having a medical at Newcastle.

I'd have been disappointed had we gone for him, let alone a Premiership club. Newcastle looking very desperate!

Kuqi and Best up front.


Eek.
