6 Things To Expect On Deadline Day

4. Disappointment

If you want a definition of disappointment look back at last season's winter deadline day as Peter Odemwingie drove all the way down to London from The Midlands thinking he was a QPR player, only for the club to turn him away as no deal had been agreed. There's nothing worse for a club on deadline day being linked with so many players from legitimate sources, only to see no business done before the deadline passes. Imagine how disappointed Arsenal fans would have been if Mesut Ozil's transfer failed to go through because of timing issues last season? It came close, and it wouldn't be long before Arsenal fans saw exactly what might have happened when the next window saw them sign only a crocked Kim Kallstrom on loan. Like Arsenal, Manchester United fans will be disappointed if they don't buy the same calibre of players to improve their defences. When Johnny Evans is your main centre-back and 19 year old Calum Chambers is playing alongside Mertesacker, you really ought to be making strides to sign someone else.
