A number of factors have contributed to that - especially the influence of the Saudi Pro League - but the most immediate is that every major club wants to buy...but, to do that, virtually everyone needs to sell. Many have already likened it to a high-grade housing market, but it is expected to be “panic stations” with a few moves releasing a massive backlog.

Some figures involved have been variously laughing and rolling their eyes at Daniel Levy and Evangelos Marianakis discussing the deal, neither willing to budge. There is a feeling in the industry that Forest have already made moves in anticipating of Johnson going and that they ultimately need to sell… and that Levy knows that. The word has still been to not predict anything with Marianakis, though. Stuck in the middle... and maybe the back Spurs are also looking to bring in another midfielder and a defender, with Conor Gallagher the prime choice for the former. That situation fully reflects the market, though. Any move for Gallagher, which would likely come to £50m, is dependent on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg going out. He has so far been reluctant to go to Fulham, and Manchester United would prefer to go for Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat. The Old Trafford club have been in the same situation as Spurs, though, with any permanent move depending on Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire going out. That has led to two offers to La Viola that have irritated the Italian club. There remains some doubt United can get a deal done, as they also look for a temporary full-back. Sergio Reguilon [is most likely there](~/AAAHagA~/RgRm1E6QP0SOaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvc3BvcnQvZm9vdGJhbGwvbWFuY2hlc3Rlci11bml0ZWQtYWxleC10ZWxsZXMtdHlyZWxsLW1hbGFjaWEtbHVrZS1zaGF3LXRlZGVuLW1lbmdpLWIyNDAyODc3Lmh0bWw_bGlkPWI4Y3E5d2V1bXNkb1cFc3BjZXVCCmTpkMnxZERE1XJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~), while [Altay Bayindir has been signed from Fenerbahce](~/AAAHagA~/RgRm1E6QP0RsaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvc3BvcnQvZm9vdGJhbGwvbWFuLXV0ZC10cmFuc2ZlcnMtYWx0YXktYmF5aW5kaXItYjI0MDMxNTQuaHRtbD9saWQ9aGM2aHhidGYwZXg4VwVzcGNldUIKZOmQyfFkRETVclIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj). While many in the industry would say it’s “same old” at Old Trafford, part of it is due to the different demands of so many previous managers, and it has led to increasing debate about Erik Ten Hag, too. There has been a feeling he is prioritising his system, and players who more ideally fit into it, over quality. Some have likened it to Louis van Gaal. Of course, whether that is right or wrong will entirely depend on what happens on the pitch. Here's what you could have had As regards one previous United manager who had much less say, those close to Ralf Rangnick have been pointing to some of the recommendations he made to the club. They were Christopher Nkunku, Josko Gvardiol, Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez… all before they made big money moves.

It weighed over the entire launch party after, which many executives and agents attend. There was constant discussion. It ties in with more grumbling about Aleksander Ceferin, and a growing argument that his presidency isn’t sufficiently tackling big issues.

The packed scheduled of this year due to the 2022 World Cup ensured it had to be later in the calendar, but they are likely to revert next season. It also meant a few winners had to miss out on attending due to fixtures. One Premier League player was given permission by his manager to drink alcohol at the event due to how their games fell but, to his credit, felt it would send the wrong image. No issues there for the old warriors. One of most amusing and striking scenes of the night was all of the players from the heyday of the mid-90s corralled together in a corner having a great laugh about the old days.   QUOTE OF THE WEEK     "Fans in this country are having a difficult time… match tickets, travel, kick-off times changed at late notice, sometimes it feels the game is pushing them away, the disconnect has never been bigger" Ian Wright with a striking and necessary comment as he collected a PFA merit award   Reading the game quiz Doing deadline day business is sometimes taken as a sign that clubs are struggling or badly run, but there have been five players who moved on the last day of the summer window since it was implemented in 2003 who went on to win the title with their new team that same season.
