  2. Let's call it a nightpublished at 01:02 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    When I moved countries to study journalism at university it wasn't so I could stay up all night in the hope that Barcelona announced the signing of Luuk de Jong on loan from Sevilla.

    So I think we're going to wrap it up now.

    It can be a nice surprise for us all tomorrow morning.

  3. De Jong and Braithwaite?published at 00:58 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    We haven't had confirmation about Barcelona signing Sevilla striker Luuk de Jong yet.

    Spanish football journalist Andy West is obviously excited about watching Barca's new-look front line.

    That wasn't a hint that Erling Braut Haaland is going to PSV Eindhoven for £250m.

    Still 31,000 of you reading this live text. Good perseverance.

    We're not sure if anything else is on the way now. Although you never know with this window.

    My apologies if you sign off now I've said that and Erling Braut Haaland joins PSV Eindhoven for £250m or something.

  8. Fulham sign another Watford playerpublished at 00:47 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    Imagine how annoying it would be if a team signed two players from another team - but announced them a few minutes apart?

    In unrelated news, Fulham have signed Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, 26, for an undisclosed fee.

    Ten minutes ago they signed Watford's Domingos Quina on loan.

    It seems like Edinson Cavani is happy to stay and fight for his place in Manchester United's talent-rich attacking line if his Instagram story is anything to go by.

    More good news for United fans.

    Romelu Lukaku will be a brilliant signing, he makes Chelsea title contenders. He'll easily get over 20 goals, and Jack Grealish will be a great signing for City as well

  11. Fulham sign Watford's Quinapublished at 00:37 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    Can't football administrators just go to bed now?

    Fulham have signed Portuguese forward Domingos Quina, 21, on a season-long loan from Watford - with the option to make it permanent.

  12. Griezmann, Messi, Suarez... all gonepublished at 00:34 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    When Barcelona signed Antoine Griezmann in 2019, there were doubts about how he would gel with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

    I wonder what odds you'd have got on none of them playing for Barcelona by 1 September 2021.

    Griezmann and Suarez link up again at Atleti...

    Clubs have weeks, or months, to sort out transfers - yet most are left to the last minute. Can I offer my services to do a bit of organisational skills training for them? A one day course should do it. As they all seem pretty flush I will bump up my rate though.

  14. 'Atletico will pay Griezmann's wages'published at 00:29 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    Barcelona say Atletico Madrid will pay all of Antoine Griezmann's wages.

    That will presumably help Barca register their new players.

    They add that there is a "compulsory permanent transfer clause" too.

    Griezmann is the 11th player to leave financially-struggling Barcelona this summer, including Lionel Messi - and the third today.

    Right-back Emerson Royal joined Tottenham for £25.8m and teenage midfielder Ilaix Moriba moved to RB Leipzig for £13.7m.

  15. More details on Griezmannpublished at 00:27 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    Atletico Madrid say the Antoine Griezmann signing from Barcelona is a loan for one season with the option of another.

    Two years ago the France international made the move the other way after Barca paid his £107m buyout clause.

    But the 30-year-old's time at the Nou Camp has been a disappointment as he scored 35 goals in 102 games and only won the Copa del Rey.

    He has never won La Liga, joining Atletico Madrid in 2014, Barcelona in 2019 and Atleti now - every time just after his new side had won the league.

    Atletico Madrid re-sign forward Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona

    The biggest move of the day and a shock one.

  19. What are we waiting for?published at 00:16 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    The big one we're still waiting on is Atletico Madrid signing Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona.

    There is also some talk Barca might sign Sevilla striker Luuk de Jong as a replacement.

    De Jong and Martin Braithwaite up front. What a dream.

  20. Fosu to Swansea collapsespublished at 00:14 British Summer Time 1 September 2021

    We told you earlier that Swansea were trying to sign Brentford winger Tariqe Fosu on a season-long loan.

    Well that has fallen through so the Ghana international, 25, is likely to stay with the Premier League side.

    Good news for people who inexplicably named their fantasy football team after Fosu. Not naming any names.
