Today’s fluff is on top of things

Now that the window has slammed shut, deal sheets either filed or torn up, there’s more than a few players left in limbo by the Premier League’s record-breaking summer transfer window.

Football transfer rumours: What now for Gomez, Guehi, Martínez and Sterling?


What now for Emi Martínez, who keeps waving goodbye to Aston Villa and yet remains on the books, denied a dream move to Manchester United because Senne Lammens was the cheaper, younger option.



The Euro 2020 winner instead headed to Manchester City to learn how to play like Pep Guardiola asks – with Ederson heading to Fenerbahce.



Most deals tend to have knock-ons, and the collapse of Marc Guéhi’s move from Crystal Palace to Liverpool had ramifications for Joe Gomez, who was poised for a move to Milan.

Guéhi recorded a soft-focus farewell video, shots of Wembley and his “last” goal for Palace at Villa on Sunday.

He’s only 30.

Axel Disasi is in a similar boat: no move to Aston Villa, West Ham or Crystal Palace so he remains at Chelsea.

Which leaves poor old Tyrell Malacia, who was supposed to head to Elche in La Liga but remains a United player.

Perhaps he might convince Ruben Amorim he is an option in centre midfield, a position of weakness where United are said to have moved for Conor Gallagher, only for Atlético Madrid to shut that down.
