Transfer deadline day is always a nightmare for the Sky Sports presenters sent out into the field.

They spend hours standing outside of the club’s ground, peering into car windows in the hope of seeing a potential transfer target on his way for a medical.

Spare a thought then this for this chap, trying to rattle off the latest loan deals as the window shut late Wednesday evening.

We’re not saying it’s easy to say German club Borussia Mönchengladbach’s name, but after that the wheels really come off.

Equal parts cringe and sympathy:

Islam Slimani on loan to Newcastle – as a long-suffering Toon fan I really hope this man still knows how to hit the back of the net.

Also, we now have a Christian (Atsu), Mohamed (Diamé), Jesus (Gamez) and Islam (Slimani) in the squad, so we’re pulling out all the stops to avoid relegation.

Anyway, which is more awkward  – that video above, or this from a few year’s back?

Football fans really are a classy bunch.
