Andy Carroll has joined French Ligue 2 club Amien. Not quite the shockwaves caused by him joining Liverpool from Newcastle in the 2011 January transfer window. Still, he’s appeared in a nice video which even contains some spaghetti western-style dubbing (19 seconds in) of his voice.

Trevoh Chalobah’s hopes of joining Bayern on loan also appear to have been scuppered. Jacob Steinberg reported earlier that Nottingham Forest had bid £25m for the Chelsea defender so is that now on even though Chalobah appeared reluctant to go to the City Ground?

Thanks John.

Zuschlagen! Yes, the German transfer window has slammed shut. And yet, there are deals that don’t appear to have been done before the 5pm closure. One involves Fulham’s João Palhinha joining Bayern and that appears to be off.

And that concludes my shift on the transfer window. It’s now drivetime with David Tindall before Niall McVeigh is our nightwatchman.

On Joaos Felix and Cancelo, the word is that both may soon be Barcelona players. Both Jorge Mendes clients, reports in Spain suggest they are in Catalonia to sign up, Barça having problems registering players – hence Fati to Brighton – as they continue to suffer financial problems.

David Howell is back among us, and a good sport, too: “In answer to Scott Robinson: I had forgotten about that business amidst all the other depressing developments this window. I guess that answers my question of if there’s one person at the highest level of football I’d trust to be principled. The answer is evidently “no” and I can go back to hoping the sport eats itself. Anyone selling an AFC Giant Meteor shirt?”

Højberg going nowhere?

A Reuters reminder of the summer’s biggest deals. Will Mohamed Salah join them?

• Lionel Messi: Paris St Germain to Inter Miami (free)

• Moises Caicedo: Brighton & Hove Albion to Chelsea (£115m)

• Declan Rice: West Ham United to Arsenal (£105m)

• Jude Bellingham: Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid (€103m)

• Harry Kane: Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich (€100m)

• Josko Gvardiol: RB Leipzig to Manchester City (€90m)

• Karim Benzema: Real Madrid to Al-Ittihad (free)

• Neymar: Paris St Germain to Al-Hilal (€90 million)

• Rasmus Hojlund: Atalanta to Manchester United (£72m)

• Dominik Szoboszlai: RB Leipzig to Liverpool (€70m)

• Matheus Nunes: Wolves to Manchester City (£53m)

Shaun Tooze on *that* Arteta press conference metaphor: “Just thank God Arteta doesn’t live near Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham. It would have the potential for a recording being made and sold to insomniacs everywhere. It’d probably gross more than Chelsea have spent in the last few windows.”

James Humphries gets in touch: “It’s not in any danger of knocking Cantona’s “if the seagull follows the trawler it’s because it expects fish” off its perch (ha!), is it?”

Not if he goes via the A21, it’s not.

And here’s Football Daily, reminding that there’s actual football to be played this evening, and this weekend.

In other news, and almost two weeks on, this saga continues in Spain. Rubiales is still in a job…

Peter Oh gets in touch: “A couple of days ago it looked like Man City’s out-of-favour Portuguese man was on his way to Barcelona, but I haven’t seen any confirmation of the deal. Has someone been Cancelo’d?”

Sky’s German reporter just looked very confused when asked if Cancelo was going to Bayern, where he’s already been and gone. No takers? A year ago, he was the wind beneath City’s wings.

Ian, a Hammer, gets in touch: “Hi John – West Ham fan here – almost halfway through the ‘three peaks challenge’ of European draw, Transfer Window closing and Luton away tonight.

“When Arteta says he’s hitting the A21 would it be naughty of me to suggest that if he’s on the A21, he’s further away from his intended route than he usually is from the inside of his technical area – the A21 being the road between SE London to Hastings via the footballing mecca of Tonbridge (Angels).”

We think he meant the A12, the dual carriageway of proper Eastenders. But who knows?

Done deal: Manchester United sign Reguilón on loan

Scott Robinson gets in touch: “Can you ask David Howell where he thinks Klopp’s principled stance against “the Saudi threat” was when Liverpool were selling Firmino, Fabinho and Henderson to Saudi clubs?

What do you mean you don’t want to relive Wayne Rooney’s acting performances? And if he was so bad, how bad must have been the others that didn’t make the cut?

Arsenal news: nobody coming in, according to Mikel Arteta.

I don’t expect anybody to come in. We’ve done quite a lot and we had a lot of uncertainty with a lot of players so we have to be very cautious. Sometimes it’s not possible and we have to adapt. We cannot go and buy another three players. It’s not possible.

Instead, he offered this defence of his tactics so far this season. Warning: heavy on the metaphor.

I played different against Manchester City (in the Community Shield) and there were 43 different formations. Every morning I come from my house to Colney. Sometimes I leave at six and I need to go to the windscreen because it’s icy. At six o’clock normally I go Finchley Road and then the A21 because it’s faster.

Now Finchley Road is 20 miles per hour so sometimes I take a back door. But then I go on the M25. But depending on if it’s a school ride I take one exit. If it’s after seven o’clock I take a different exit and then I go. One day I have a flat tyre, what do I do? Maybe I have to replace it because there’s a garage there. So every game is a different story guys.

A different story. If we have another injury we’re going to have to do something else. If Bukayo (Saka) is not there we’re going to have something else. So the M25 won’t be good enough. Maybe we’ll take another one. If I speak to a taxi driver that has learned the whole of London for 20 years, I know nothing compared to him because he will tell me all the streets and options at the best time.

So there’s that.

Another Manchester City outgoing, James McAtee, has joined Sheffield United on loan for the season, where he spent last season in their promotion campaign.

David Howell makes himself a hostage to fortune: “Even in this transfer market era, selling a thirty-something to a non-rival for up to £150m is almost certainly brilliant business for Liverpool. But if there’s one man at the top of football whom I’d trust to make a principled stand against the Saudi threat, it’s Jurgen Klopp.”

Via PA Media’s Tottenham man, George Sessions, on Hugo Lloris, expected to leave tonight: somewhere, possibly nowhere.

Lloris only has one year left on his contract and if no suitor can be found before the English transfer window closes on Friday night, PA understands the Frenchman may depart Tottenham by mutual consent with the final 12 months of his deal likely to be terminated.

When asked about the 36-year-old, Ange Postecoglou said: “I have only been here a couple of months but Hugo has been excellent throughout the whole process.

“There is no doubt he has had an outstanding career and contribution to this football club. He has been the captain for quite a long time and been very professional, obviously working with (Rob) Burchy and the other goalkeepers.

“He has been helping the others, Vic (Gugliemo Vicario) being the new goalkeeper, so I have nothing negative to say about him and I wouldn’t.

“There has been nothing other than him being very, very professional about everything.”

Another Celtic development from our Fabrizio.

Manchester City assistant manager Juanma Lillo on the departure of Cole Palmer to Chelsea:

This is the reality – it’s very difficult to go against a player’s wishes. When a player wants to go, it is very difficult to go against that. We have to work out the operation that has value for the club as well.

On the other side, there is a pride that young player upon player is being created now and starting to give life to the rest of the country, like at Chelsea. We have to be proud and satisfied at Manchester City that we have done this, but to deny a footballer the opportunity to do what he wants to do is very difficult.

Harriet Osborn on Todd Boehly’s billion spent: “On the continuing subject of Chelsea’s excesses- also Serbian keeper Djordje Petrovic from the New England Revolution (Matt Turner’s (apt) replacement after he left for Arsenal, as it turns out) for about £12.5m pounds. Surely in excess of £1bn over three windows with that addition. And £20m of that on keepers from MLS…”

We’re running the calculations: Transfermarkt – £920m approx, Soccerbase £930m approx, with a few undisclosed sums in there. It’s close….

Thomas Tuchel really really likes the English Premier League.

Chris gets in touch: “On the Salah front – I think that people who are saying Liverpool should take £150m for Salah are slightly missing the point. It is, of course, ludicrous money, even for someone of Salah’s significance and stature. But – he is Liverpool’s talisman. Even last year, which detractors said was an off year, 19 goals and 12 assists in the league alone. Secondly, it’s too late in the window. Had this offer come in when the ones for Fabinho / Henderson had, Liverpool would have time to line up a replacement (as they have done with Endo, and look to be doing with Gravenberch). Who could they realistically sign now who would be worth it? I expect Salah to go next year, for around £100m.”

Good advice for anyone, this.

Celtic news. Does Brendan mean “many” or “any” as the club prepares to announce a loan deal for Benfica midfielder Paulo Bernardo?

Asked by PA Media if there could be some late deals, Rodgers said: “I’m not so sure. I don’t think there will be many more coming in.”

On the imminent signing of 21-year-old Bernardo, Rodgers said: “Again a young player that’s coming in with potential and that will hopefully be confirmed. He comes in with the opportunity to see him and give us more strength in depth in that midfield area and we will see how he develops.”

Matt Dony gets in touch: “£150m for a 31yr old? I love Salah so much, and it would be frustrating to not be able to replace him until January (at best), but surely that got to be seriously considered? Well, no. i don’t mean ‘replace’ him. I doubt he can be replaced. But the money couldn’t be reinvested straight away. There would be an obvious hole in the attack. At the risk of over-simplifying things, however, it’s a lot of money.”

John Brewin is back from his lunch and ready to steer this blog ever onwards. Bye!

Spurs agree £45m deal with Forest for Johnson

Jacob Steinberg

Here’s a bit from Brighton on the terrific loan signing of Ansu fati from Barcelona.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi said:

This is a great deal for all of us. I am sure Ansu will help us to reach a new target and we can help him get back at the level he deserves to be.”

And technical director David Weir said:

We are delighted to bring Ansu to the club. He is one of the most highly-rated young players in the world and arrives with an impressive amount of experience both domestically and in European competition, despite his age. This season is the biggest in the club’s history and we’re really happy that a player of Ansu’s quality is going to be part of it.”

Tottenham pushing hard for Brennan Johnson

David Hytner

“Wocher Gregg, nice to see footie keeping its sense of perspective in these times of climate change, inflation, austerity, collapsing school buildings, Rubiales, etc,” chirps Jeremy Boyce. “How many climates could you change back with the lolly that is sloshing around today, never mind in the whole window, right up to next Friday when Mo Salah does one to Saudi Arabia? It’s lovely that Saka, Rashford etc. do good works socially, but it’s a bread and circuses thing these days, isn’t it ? Loads of bread and a huge circus. Thank goodness for coats down in the park … eh Ron?” The kids take their own plastic cones to the park these days, Jeremy. Sigh.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has passed his Nottingham Forest medical and will sign from Chelsea for what appears to be a bargain-basement price of £8m. It’s only a few seasons ago that Bayern Munich offered to take the player on loan with an option to buy for £70m – and Chelsea rejected it.

“Ansu Fati’s loan move is one of the rare deals which should be great for everyone involved,” writes Kári Tulinius. “Brighton get a player who could potentially rip opposing defences to shreds, but they have cover in his position if he’s injured again. The player has a huge chance to get his career flying again, but if he fails he’ll have plenty of suitors in Spain. And Barcelona get him out of the way of Lamine Yamal, and if he regains his scintillating form, he returns next year.”

The transfer window moves quickly! A couple of hours ago it was only rumoured that Sergio Reguilón may be joining Manchester United. But it turns out he has already trained with the club and is available to take on Arsenal this weekend. Here’s what Erik ten Hag had to say:

He is here, he trained. Yes (he will also be available for Sunday).”

Summer signing Rasmus Hojlund is also fit to make his debut this weekend as well as the goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

He was tight-lipped about Sofyan Amrabat would be joining, though a wry smile suggested it is close and Sky are reporting that a loan deal is almost done.

Done deal – Ansu Fati joins Brighton on loan

Report: Liverpool reject £150m Al-Ittihad offer for Salah

Andy Hunter

Any clubs looking for a quick-fix creative spark on the cheap? Papu Gómez is no spring chicken, mind, but he was a fine player a couple of seasons ago. Maybe he’ll return to Atalanta.

Hello. It’s Gregg here, in on a free transfer to do a job in the middle of the park while John grabs some food. I wonder how much money Al-Ittihad will have to throw at Liverpool before Mo Salah suddenly isn’t for sale any more? For all that Jürgen Klopp spoke of Salah staying I did think he seemed a little bit resigned when talking about the forward in his press conference this morning. Perhaps he was just fed up of being asked about it.

Gregg Bakowski is in the chair for the next hour while I devour a chicken Salah, sorry, salad.

Ed Webster gets in touch: “On your list of Chelsea’s signings under Todd Boehly, I think Chelsea have also signed Deivid Washington this summer for c. £15m…. so I think that pushes them over the £1bn mark!! Keep up the good work.”

Well well, party for Todd? What an achievement.

Report: Saudis make their move for Salah

Ron Stack: “I read your post about Fair Game before my first cup of coffee, so for a moment I thought they wanted the Government to transfer Levy. As a Spurs fan, I’m in favourr.”

This one’s been a long-running saga, all summer long but looks like the PSG reboot has got its man.

Richard Hirst also gets in touch: “Am I the only person who finds the Man Utd screen behind ten Hag utterly incomprehensible? Team Viewer, DXC (presumably) Technology and the plea/instruction Download Now; I guess you have to be 12 to understand it. Which, thinking about it, also applies to their transfer ‘strategy’.”

Ben Lake gets in touch: “I imagine you as you sitting in your yellow suit and yellow chair, locked in your yellow vault that keeps you safe from a big purple floppy thing in your ear. Anyway, despite constant self affirmations that the (mostly men) running football can’t be that stupid and ignorant, I see from earlier reporting that some clubs are sniffing around Mason Greenwood.”

“I will be, honestly, a little impressed with whoever attempts to make that signing, particularly if it is in Europe. The genuine gall to welcome that level of vitriol onto your club for a single player is really astounding, yet somehow, totally unsurprising. Football has a long history of trying to ignore any murky past a footballer may have, particularly in relation to their activities around the bedroom.

“Let’s see where he ends up at the end of this window and wait for the totally predictable fallout that the perplexed looking man in a suit who sanctioned the whole thing will have to deal with.”

پل 3-0 از داوودویچ فوکینا پیش افتاد. این یک شروع رویایی برای آمریکایی رتبه چهاردهم در ورزشگاه آرتور اشه است.

وانگ اشمیدلووا را می شکند. وانگ که ست اول را روی سرویس خود واگذار کرده بود به این لطف پاسخ داد و در ست دوم 4 بر 2 پیش افتاد.

موچووا در ست دوم نیز وضعیت خوبی دارد. او سرویس خود را می بیند و 1-0 جلو می افتد.

Muchova با tween! این یک شلیک از پاها در حالی است که رو به سمت اشتباه است. او در ابتدای مسابقه واقعا عصبی به نظر می رسید اما بزرگ شد و اکنون تمام شتاب را در اختیار دارد. او حتی بعد از آن ضربه شگفت انگیز لبخند نمی زند. در اولین مسابقه ست دوم تساوی 40 بر 15 به دست آمد.

تامی پل در ست اول مقابل الخاندرو داویدوویچ فوکینا با نتیجه 2-0 پیش افتاد. او همچنین 3-0 جلوتر سرویس می دهد و 15-0 پیش است. شروعی قدرتمند برای آمریکایی ها.

موچوا ست اول را 7-6 با تای بریک 7-0 برد.. از دانه شماره 10، این تقریباً بدون زحمت بود. قبل از آن ست فشرده ای بود. اما 11 امتیاز متوالی یعنی یک پا در دور بعدی است.

موچووا 6-0 پیش افتاد. این یعنی 10 امتیاز متوالی برای نفر دهم. تاونسند اکنون با شکست ست اول از چنین موقعیت قدرتمندی با امتیاز شکست 3-1 روبرو است.

موچووا با یک پاس زیبا در تای بریک 3-0 پیش افتاد. این یک شات واقعی از اقتدار بود. در جلو، از کنار تاونسند در حال پیشروی سوت زد.

در ست اول به ضربات پنالتی می رویم. 65 دقیقه حضور در زمین، موچوا و تاونسند را از هم جدا نکرد. Muchova سرویس خود را حفظ می کند و 6-6 است. اکنون زمان شکستن تساوی است.

اشمیدلوا ست اول را 6-4 برد. او پس از شکست در مسابقه ای که هم سطح با وانگ در رده دوم با 1-1 است اما شبیه به سرویس استراحت نیست، اعتماد به نفس بیشتری خواهد داشت.

چه رالی بزرگی! من عاشق اینم. این تقریباً شبیه یک رالی پادل بود زیرا فقط در اطراف تور پخش می شد. ضربه زدن، کلیپ‌ها و قطره‌های زیبای دینک به عقب، برگشته و تا زمانی که لوب موچوا طولانی شود، برگشته است.

تاونسند در نهایت سرویس خود را 6-5 جلو انداخت.

این بار کلینیک از Muchova. 5-5. او کمی مطمئن تر ضربه می زند و در مقابل قدرت تاونسند آن همه عجله به نظر نمی رسد.

تاونسند در حال برگزاری است. هرگز شک نکن موچوا اکنون در ست اول با نتیجه 4-5 پشت سر سرویس می زند. هر بازی سرویس از سری 10 شامل یک نقطه شکست است. او در حال حاضر تحت فشار است.

عالی از تاونسند. این همه قدرت نیست، بلکه لطف است. یک بک هند انفجاری باعث شد تا موچوا به مبارزه بپردازد و تعقیب و گریز در تور کاملاً کلاسی بود. لمس خوب برای کسب امتیاز.

موچوا نگه می دارد و نتیجه را 4-4 می کند. این بازی با کیفیت است. بازیکن دهم Muchova برای هر امتیاز مربی می شود.

PAT! تاونسند در بالاترین رتبه رتبه اول را به خود اختصاص داده است. نتیجه 30-15 روی سرویس موچوا قرار می گیرد. آمریکایی ها تجاوز خاصی نشان می دهند. او سپس یک لوب خوشمزه را باز می کند که موچوا فقط می تواند از آن دور کند. 30-30.

وانگ و اشمیدلووا یک اینچ هم نمی دهند. بازیکن اسلواکی 5-4 پیش است اما بازیکن چینی در آستانه سرویس است. این رفت و برگشت است. تغییر دادن می تواند وسوسه انگیز باشد…

تاونسند ممکن است برای شکستن سرویس موچوا مشکل داشته باشد، اما او هیچ مشکلی با سرویس خود ندارد. با چند برنده گوشتی 4-3 پیش می رود. او قطعاً در این تجارت دست بالا را دارد، اما موچووا در مبارزه باقی می ماند.

موچوا در حال برگزاری است. او یکی دیگر از سرویس های بازی را نجات داد و در ست اول 3-3 شد. تاونسند خودش را لگد خواهد زد. او می توانست این ست اول را کامل کند اگر در نقطه شکست ظالم تر بود.

تاونسند اجازه می دهد تا نقطه شکست دیگری بگذرد. او قبلاً شش تا از آنها داشت اما فقط یکی را گرفت. موچووا در این مسابقه مقاومت می کند و برتری دارد.

دوگانه. بک هند Muchova تور را قطع می کند و او برای تاونسند می ایستد تا در سراسر زمین بک هند بزند. موچوا به دروازه می رسد، اما توپ روی او می افتد و او نمی تواند توپ را از روی تور بازگرداند.

تصحیح. موضع تاونسند در دریافت سرویس بر خلاف موضع یک ضربه زن در زمین کریکت است. واقعا توصیفش سخته مثل شمشیربازی است. هر دو شانه هنوز رو به زمین هستند، اما یک پا به طور قابل توجهی جلوتر از دیگری است. هر دو با زانوهای خمیده یک قدم برمی دارند و تقریباً تا خط پایه حمله می کنند. موچووا در حالی که سعی داشت مجموعه را به تساوی بکشاند 40-30 عقب بود.

موچوا اکنون سه نقطه شکست دارد. در این نکته آخر به او هدیه داده شد. افزایش بازگشت به تاونسند فرصتی برای حمله به تورها داد. اما سه مورد در ذهن ماند. آیا او شوت می کند، می اندازد، به گوشه ای بازی می کند؟ در نهایت او آن را مستقیماً به داخل تور پرتاب کرد.

سپس موچوا عقب نشینی می کند. 2-3 در ست اول.

تعطیلات تاونسند ست اول را 3-1 جلوتر به پایان بردیم.. باید برای آن کار می کرد. موچوا فهمید که خدمت به بدن با موضع منحصر به فرد آمریکایی مبارزه می کند. او از 0-40 به 30-40 رسید اما موچووا یک حرکت طولانی روی فورهند خود انجام داد و نتوانست سرویس او را نگه دارد.

تاونسند برنده فورهند خود را در سراسر میدان وحشیانه می کند. این فقط قدرت نیست که نمی تواند بهتر قرار گیرد. سه نقطه شکست برای کنترل این ست اول وجود دارد.

تاونسند بازی را نگه می دارد و می گیرد. او ست اول را 2-1 جلوتر به پایان رساند.

در این بین وانگ و اشمیدلوا سرویس خود را حفظ کردند و نتیجه 2-2 شد.

هواپیماهای پر سر و صدا بر فراز نیویورک پرواز می کنند. هر دو بازیکن اعصاب خود را نشان داده‌اند اما به وضوح می‌توانند روی کار در حال انجام تمرکز کنند. آنها فقط یک رالی 19 شوت داشتند که تاونسند برنده فورهند بود. کشنده هنگام تخلیه فورهند. ضربه به تور نتیجه را 40-15 کرد.

موچوا در حال برگزاری است. 1-1 در ست اول. تا اینجا سرگرم کننده است.

تاونسند با یک بازگشت عالی اوضاع را تقسیم می کند. او برداشت جالبی در مورد پذیرایی از سرویس دارد، که با حالت زدن تقریباً اغراق آمیز در کریکت شروع می شود. یک پا جلوتر از دیگری رو به خط. کار می کند، نقطه شکستی وجود دارد.

تاونسند در اولین مسابقه پیروز می شود. مقابل موچوا 1-0 پیش افتاد.

موچوا در مسابقات آزاد فرانسه امسال دوم شد.

من قبلاً از کشتی پریده ام. من فکر می کنم در مقابل امریکا تاونسند، موچوا (10) ممکن است کسی باشد که باید به آن پایبند باشد. تاونسند در تعویض ابتدایی در محل بازی خدمت کرد، اما تورها را شکست و برنده بک هند را دست کم گرفت. قبلاً چندین مبادله باینری در این بازی اول وجود داشته است. همانطور که گفتم، تماشای آن ضروری است.

ما اولین بازی خود را در این روز داریم. حداقل اولین موردی که دیدم. اشمیدلوا از سرویس خود در برابر وانگ دفاع می کند و 1-0 جلو می افتد.

در صورت از دست دادن آن، کارلوس آلکاراز به دور بعد راه یافت.

برایان آرمن گراهام من آنجا بودم تا این گزارش را ببینم و تهیه کنم:

در حین صحبت ما چندین بازی در حال انجام است:

من همیشه به این فکر کرده ام که بازی با یکی از دوستانت در یک مسابقه سطح بالا تنیس چگونه است.. آیا آنها در خارج از زمین هم مشکل دارند؟ آیا در گرماگرم جنگ جوک های شخصی می کنند؟

سویاتک و جوان (ظاهرا) دوستان خوبی هستند. بعداً متوجه خواهیم شد که آنها چه نوع انرژی را در این وسط به اشتراک می گذارند.

دیروز با یک افسانه خداحافظی کردیم. و همانطور که آهنگ زیر شروع می شود، “کار حرفه ای جان ایزنر به درستی با یک تای بریک در ست آخر به پایان رسید”

این بازیکن 38 ساله آمریکایی با شکست مقابل دوستش یانک مایکل اممو با نتایج 3-6، 4-6، 7-6 (3)، 6-4، 7-6 (7) به دوران حرفه ای 17 ساله خود پایان داد.

معروف ترین کمک ایزنر به این بازی، شرکت در طولانی ترین مسابقه تاریخ این ورزش است. در دور اول ویمبلدون 2018، نیکلاس ماهوت در ست پنجم 70 بر 86 در ماراتن 11 ساعت و 5 دقیقه پیروز شد. البته ایزنر برنده شد.

او در جایگاه هشتم حرفه ای قرار دارد، اما چیزی که ما بیشتر به یاد خواهیم آورد این تلاش نفس گیر است.

امروز مسابقات خوشمزه دیگری نیز وجود دارد
