'The squad is weaker than the one that ended last season'published at 15:02 British Summer Time 31 August 2021
Newcastle United
Mark Jensen - Editor of The Mag (independent Newcastle United magazine now website) since 1988 (themag.co.uk)
Steve Bruce spoke up ahead of the summer transfer window, promising the addition of at least three or four quality signings to the Newcastle United first team squad. By day 66 of the window, Mike Ashley had the black and whites still standing proud, the only Premier League club not to have signed a single player.
The 13 August 2021 though, was to be a stand out day, a ‘double’ signing for Newcastle. The first signing of the summer…and the last. Joe Willock arriving from Arsenal in a permanent deal after a successful loan spell earlier this year.
The quality of the incoming signings hasn’t been a problem, simply the quantity. This Newcastle United squad actually weaker than the one that ended last season, with fringe players such as Andy Carroll not replaced.
Newcastle fans haven’t had any real issues with the outgoing business, the likes of Carroll, Muto, Atsu and Saivet having outstayed their welcome, whilst Matty Longstaff going on loan for regular football makes sense. Florian Lejeune a little more controversial, as with Newcastle’s backline getting progressively worse, a lot of fans thought the Frenchman was worth a try again having shown both form and fitness on loan in La Liga last season.
The balance isn’t there though, as with 10 or more first team squad players moved off the wage bill these past 12 months, surely Mike Ashley at the very least could have allowed at least a loan signing to go alongside Joe Willock.

For a period, Benni McCarthy always got an 'honourable mention' during Transfer Deadline Day. A Premier League team making a last minute offer for Benni was as nailed-on as seeing Harry Redknapp winding his car window down to speak with reporters!

No new signing, sorry! I'm such a tease. I just wanted a flashback...
One of the more controversial TDD moves - Jose Mourinho brought Ashley Cole to Chelsea on the final day of the 2006 summer window in a cash-plus William Gallas deal from Arsenal.

'Arsenal fans will wish him well'published at 14:34 British Summer Time 31 August 2021
Arsenal
Akhil Vyas, Arsenal Supporters Trust, board member: "It seems like it's all about the right-back today for Arsenal. It looks like Arsenal have been waiting to shift Bellerin before going for Tomiyasu.
"Bellerin has been a fantastic servant to Arsenal and been huge behind the scenes including being Arsenal's PFA rep, especially during the pandemic. I'm sure most Arsenal fans would wish him well."

Teenage Ronaldo to the treble-winners - 'I'm the best.'published at 14:25 British Summer Time 31 August 2021
Manchester United
More from former Manchester United defender Quinton Fortune:
"Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't have asked for a better environment to walk into. You had the boss, Sir Alex there, then you had Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt - the standard in training was relentless.
"Ronaldo came to United, to a team that had won the treble, and he was saying already: 'I'm the best.' He told people already that he was the best player. What made him so special, though, was that he put in the work every day. Step-overs, free-kicks.
"The guys would tease him in training about getting pushed off the ball, he came back a year later and he was the strongest man ever.
"Of course, the boss knows how to nurture young players and bring them through. As soon as it all came together, that's how you got the best player in the world."

Unfortunately, while those names will live long in TDD folklore, today's big headliner is Ronaldo.
No, not the original one (although who knows given this transfer window!?)... Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Manchester United was officially confirmed earlier today.
Are any more records going to tumble while he's back in the Premier League?

'Air of frustration from fans?'published at 14:16 British Summer Time 31 August 2021
Everton
Chris Coughlin, BBC Radio Merseyside:
Moise Kean’s return to Juventus after a disappointing spell at Everton is undoubtedly a deal that suits both parties perfectly.
There was much anticipation surrounding the transfer of the Italian youngster in 2019 but he failed to make an impact at Goodison Park with just four goals in 39 games in all competitions, either side of a superb loan spell at PSG last season.
His red card at Huddersfield in last week’s EFL Cup tie brought a sour end to his time on Merseyside but the writing may well have been on the wall for the 21 year-old regardless of that incident.
Naturally as with any unsuccessful signing, there’ll be an air of frustration for Everton supporters but many will be glad that the matter has finally been resolved with the club moving on to other targets.
