So, at 11pm GMT the transfer window slams shut (it never just closes).

As we have a squad of around 30 players, some are going to have to leave, whether they have already fallen out with the manager or not.

Feel free to post your transfer deadline day rumours and comments in here.

I'm no  :sherlock: but I think there could be some movement from Clarke, Timlin and possibly the other players that have been forgotten (Amankwaah etc)

Saw a horrible rumour that Rotherham are signing Revell as well, so that's fucked up Saturday as well.

Clarke will be gone, i cant see any other solution. I cant see a lot of movement in and out of the CG today.

If Clarke goes today will that be the shortest time a player has ever been contracted to Swindon, or any club? What is it 2 weeks?

I can't see many teams wanting to take any of our discards, or indeed them wanting to leave.

Expand...

Clarke out mcdonald in please. thanks thats all i have to say.

Then you will be waiting a long long time, as hes already turned us down cos he doesnt want to come down to this level.

11.05am: A central midfielder is also being targeted by the County Ground side as well as a striker, depending on what happens with Leon Clarke. I'm pretty sure you all know his story by now.

11.03am: My esteemed sources are telling me that Town are hoping to push through a loan deal for Arsenal defender Daniel Boateng before the deadline, otherwise they will have to wait until the loan window opens

I think John Sutton's spell a Town was less than that but it was a short term contract. This is a two year deal.

Elsewhere, David Unsworth's Villa career was famously brief.

Clive Allen famously stayed at Arsenal for a matter of a few weeks too without even playing a game for them, not a 1st team game anyway.

I think Clarke could still have a major part to play this season if we can sort out last nights spat. I think he's the first choice forward.

 Disappointing that Tom Bender has left ColU for a month and gone to Accrington rather than Brighton

Alex Revell set to sign for Rotherham, what's the betting he scores against us Saturday  :doh:

I'm really not convinced this is what we need.  Surely we'd be better off with experience?

Wonder if we'll sign yet another non-scoring striker seeing as Clarke will be binned off?

Can we get Revell just to stop him scoring against us?

13.54pm: Not much action at the County Ground as yet, but the Advertiser understands Newport County have asked about taking Jordan Pavett on loan.

That could be a good move for him, not getting a sniff of the first team here and Newport are a decent  enough outfit.

SPORTS BREAKING NEWS: Man City bid £35m for Gaddafi. They've never seen him play but have heard that everyone is after him.

Thought this may bring a smile, Nicked from Twitter

Everyone gets so excited about Deadline day, i have learnt to instead get excited about the day AFTER deadline day when RUMOURS become FACTS but until then.......


My Dogs, Uncles, Postmans, mechanic has just seen Edin Dzeko at The County Ground ready for a £350,000 move to Paolos Red and White Army... Honest   :headhurts:

We might make an audacious swoop for ex Perugia, Sampdoria and Udinese man Al-Saadi Gaddafi...di Canio knows him form Italy, and likes his methods.

Didnt Didi Hamman go to Bolton from Liverpool for about 30 mins before Man City signed him?

That's true, he walked into a service station or mcdonalds and could not understand a word the staff was saying and he changed his mind.

True story

In-demand Norwich striker Cody McDonald, meanwhile, is thought to be having a medical at Coventry. Has been linked with Posh, Franchise, Sheffield Wednesday, Swindon and even (by some) with a return to Gillingham

Cut and paste from beeb. Like your style.

Good job he didn't get the job here - fuck knows what bad stuff would have happened.

Thank you Sir!

2.39pm: Still nothing concrete coming out of the County Ground...

Other than J Wray's heart

bye bye clarke

Well his surname ends in a vowel so it must be true :doh:

Skilfull and elusive apparently.

Doesn't have a Wiki page.

Yes, 'h' being that well known vowel - ever played Countdown ?

Has been playing in midfield tho....

Depends how you pronounce it  :-[

Sauce?

Played 3 times for their reserves?...

I dunno about reserve games...we could have enough players to start a reserve league soon enough...

He has is own website. Think he is a bit arrogant though, seems to blow his own trumpet a lot.

I do want PDC to be a success cos i want a winning Swindon Town, but with last nights circus, and it looks like ANOTHER striker coming, what is he playing at ?  Did he get his coaching badges on Championship Manager ?  
Surely you look to bring in a striker you rate and go with him.  Not buy one, change your mind,  buy another, change your mind, buy another.  What must connell be thinking ?  PDC comes and says he wants him at his club.  He signs and is right up for it and gets no chances and when he does he gets taken off.  Its like he cant sign the 2 strikers with the qualities he wants so we end up with 10 who together do possess those qualities.  Am loosing faith fast in old nero !

Have you not thought that a certain someone maybe leaving?!

Cheers. Sounds like a reasonably creative player possibly.

exellent

I'm getting a bit brassed off with all this...

At least he's not tromboning

Saxy football ?

Ooh, does he come with his own Muslamic Ray Gun?

"Do Canio - my type of guy !"

Shame he can't spell his name.

Mental rumour of the day alert:

BBC Sport's Paul Fletcher on Twitter: "Rumours flying around that Brighton a close to signing former Valencia winger Vicente may not be all that wide of the mark. There is a strong possibility the club may have news on the 30-year-old in an hour or so."

I don't see what's mental about it?

38 caps for Spain, UEFA Cup and 2x La Liga winner signing for Brighton at the age of 30.

I know they're doing rather well at the moment, but I'm still not accepting Brighton as a big club. The fact that it seems to have actually happened is fairly baffling.

They'll probably be in the Prem next season. The cunts.  :(

Vicente has been very injury prone recently hardly played a game in the last  2 years....a bit like Gordon Greer...oh

We took a punt on Gordon Greer... are you suggesting that we make a move on Vicente?

I'd rather take a punt on the Isis.

Abdullah on loan confirmed by the club's Facebook, where he's listed as a midfielder. Till January.

Found him on Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/ahmedoo11

What happens after January? Is he like Cinderella......turns back into a striker from then on?

1755: DONE DEAL Striker Alex Revell joins Rotherham from Leyton Orient for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal.

That's Saturday fucked then.

that's just f-ing marvellous!

It would be really great if our fans could try not to wind him up. Small hope, I know, but it really never works.

Flint will soon sort that prick out.

Revell did well for us,liked him and fondly remember his bullet at Brentford.

I liked Revell too, is a good target man and can score a few goals, was too similar to Paynter at the time though but I would have him here in a shot.

5th league defeat on the bounce thanks to a Revell hattrick. 

Put your house on it. 

We've released manks on a free

Source?

STGary_Rose Gary Rose
Kevin Amankwaah has left Town after having his contract terminated by mutual consent

I got there first.

I know, I was posting the source. Although the club also have it on Facebook.

Not a surprise at all, but a disappointment.

Revell didnt do well for us at all - which makes it even harder to stomach that he always plays well against us now.

As nemo says, disappointing but not a surprise.

Amankwaah>Caddis at RB. Disappointed with the news.

Fully agree. Manks is quicker by far.

Until recently I don't think I'd read so much praise for Amankwaah. Funny what happens when someone is out of the side.

Fact of the matter is that this is another gaping hole within our defensive cover.

if we were winning no one would care, crazy how the rose tinted spec's come out

No shock but according to beeb, Wray has confirmed Timlin to Sarfend until Jan

For all the talk about getting rid of our scouting network, lower league types like Wilson and Sturrock seem to manage a decent living by continually signing the same 15 players they trust over a ten year career. You get the impression they are signing for character and attitude and what they'll bring to the dressing room as much as ability*.

In a way, it's the complete opposite to PdC, who signs people without even knowing how good they are, let alone what they are like as people.

(*However, Wilson did sign Prutton, which totally undermines this argument).

Boateng not joining

Amankawaah better than caddis? I fucking give up with our support.

Gary Rose reporting that there are no more signings today. No Boateng.

Not much defensive cover for a week or two.

[Outrageous claim]
Maybe they get a cut of each deal?
[/outrageous claim]

Surely any club will think twice before loaning us any of their players after last nights debacle?This really needs to be sorted out pronto.Sorry to see Manks go, though not at all surprised, rather a crass error by the management I fear :doh:.

Like west ham you mean..oh

West Ham.....thought.....Avram Grant :sherlock:

I read to the tune of Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard.

...and you'd be right to  :girlgiggle:

In other news, Man City offering £100m and Balotelli for Messi, according to Chris Kamara and the agent Saif Ruby on Twitter.  :hmmm:

I presume the Timlin loan has a "No playing against us next week and making us look stupid for letting you go" clause.

I really hope so, as it's bound to happen if not.

 
 :nod:

He's so shit I'd insist he plays against us - particularly at left back.

I expect we insisted on this as Evans and Bodin aren't able to play against us.

I hope a similar arrangement is in place for Barry Corr.

:hmmm:

Corr will be playing against us.

He's injured isn't he?

My comment was meant tongue in cheek... I didn't think for a minute that if fit he wouldn't play against us.... talking of Corr, he's a proper physical target man, perhaps we could swap him for Clarke.  ;)

Someone on fbook who claims to be in the know reckons the scum bid for ritchie. They got lqughed at by wray and then came back with a bid for benyon.

I suspect utter bullshit

Certainly sounds like it.

anyone seen burnley getting two strikers in? How about having that Austin fella back on loan? With the way he's banging them in, i'm suprised they've gone for two new front men.

McNamee signed for the Mongs on a free.

Kieron Dyer and Owen Hargreaves signed for Holby City

See Danny Wilson managed to get John Fleck on loan from Rangers, good signing for League 1.

Dunno if hes as butt ugly as his uncle Robert the cabbage patch kid that used to play for Naarwich!

If we are losing, some fans will back any player that is not in the team.

That seems to be the case.  Not sure if it is just to moan, stupidity or desperation.

is this guy who sucks the players cocks on twitter.
for example, @dougieno4, please tell me your staying at swindon. we need you. i hope its not true. etc

Lee is his name?

Lee Cahalin.

Reckons he's the fucking dogs bollocks.

Watch it benny, he'll throw a hissy fit on the page again.

Pahaha he was proper smug about 'predicting' something before Gary Rose released it in the press.

You seen him talking about Rory Fallon now?

He's like a child.

He flipped saying someone had grassed him up to a player, then he said he cant say anything, then he posts a rumour.

Attention seeking at its best..

I liked the fantastic claim that he told us all first that Timlin would go to Southend and Amankwaah would leave and we might sign a player on deadline day.

Fuck me - thats fantastic insider knowledge, never saw any of that coming!

Nah, the one where we were signing a striker was a goodun

What's this bloke's account?

If you go on the swindon town facebook page, not the officoal one.

I swear I know who he is. He used to ball boy whilst I was there. He got in a ruck with Ian Herring once and after that we weren't allowed to go through the players entrance when going to games. 

I think I've found a blow-by-blow reenactment of said event.

[url width=500 height=379]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhqwk14QwS1qbumrto1_500.jpg[/url]

That is strangely accurate Rich.

Haha why?

Wouldnt he sign his t-shirt or keep him updated on any transfers? :D

From the man himself -

Rory fallon is not joining 100% fact.

8)

Fuck me, i reckon even i could have told you that

I don't know, he always used to wind the players up in the gym when playing football tennis. Ruddock told him to go fuck himself once because he was always pretending to go from behind and grapple him. Weird guy.

He says it werent him, said he was never a ballboy

Is there a pic of him anywhere? The name sounds familiar.

Talking of Ballboys (obscure I know) but for me, the highlight of the season so far has been the ballboy in front of the DRS who looks like Carlos Gamarra. Fantastic hair.

I agree, he is ace, I saw him at Dagenham aswell. Awesome hair.
