Some people believe transfer
deadline day is a matter of life and death. Hot Football Transfer Gossip
is very disappointed with that attitude. We can assure you it’s much,
much more important than that.
With
the short-term future happiness of millions of football fans hinging on
whether their clubs can plug gaps in threadbare squads while offloading
their expensive flops to someone stupid enough to buy them, today is in
many ways bigger than Christmas, Brexit and World War Three all put
together. That is roughly the level of importance the papers are
assigning to it anyway.
And
the hyperbole has been further fuelled by the surprise appearance of two
of the game’s most loveable characters at the heart of the action. Jack Wilshere and David Luiz could be moving today and, whatever happens, it’s going to be funny.
Arsenal
midfielder Wilshere has apparently received 22 offers in 24 hours after
being put up for loan by the Gunners, although the proposals can’t have
been that exciting because the Mirror says he’s going to end up at Crystal Palace.
The Sun makes the more encouraging suggestion that Wilshere will sign for AC Milan, who reportedly want to buy him for £30m at the end of the season, but it’s possible the player wrote that story himself.
As for Luiz, the Mail’s claim that Paris Saint-Germain’s PlayStation defender could be set for a £32m return to Chelsea brings great happiness to us all (except maybe N'Golo Kante), but the Standard doesn’t seem to think it’s a done deal.
According
to the London paper, Luiz would need to hand in a transfer request to
force a move, which he won’t do because he’s too nice.Moussa Sissoko will be glued to Sky Sports News more than most today, but the wantaway Newcastle midfielder is unlikely to get his dream “Champions League” move unless the Magpies reduce their silly asking price of £35m.
