We’re in the witching hour of the men’s window.ShareBayern had quite a lucky escape, and Real Madrid enjoyed a VAR-assisted win.ShareMorgan gets in touch: “Assuming the Isak to Liverpool deal now goes through – am I the only Liverpool fan who is getting an uneasy feeling that Newcastle, now with added Big Nick, might have come out of this debacle with the better deal? I hope Liverpool haven’t whiffed this one, I really do.”ShareForest sign Brazilian full-back CuiabanoEd AaronsNottingham Forest have agreed a deal for Cuiabano from Botafogo, with the left back expected to sign a five year contract at the City Ground.It is understood that Forest paid to have an option for the 22-year-old left back earlier in the summer and have now exercised it, beating Brighton to his signature. Cuiabano is expected to arrive in the UK on Sunday to complete his medical.With goalkeeper John Victor – who West Ham had rekindled their interest in after backing out of a deal earlier in the summer – also on his way to the East Midlands after agreeing a four-year deal this week, that will make it four players who have been purchased from Botafogo in this window following the arrivals of Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus. They, of course, are owned by former Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor.ShareNewcastle have a new forward. What does that mean for Alexander Isak?ShareEwan Murray, who will be joining us later, has previewed the Old Firm.ShareWest Ham refuse to let Paqueta leaveJacob SteinbergIt was also a day of uncertainty for West Ham. There were a lot of reports around about Aston Villa agreeing a deal to sign Lucas Paqueta but those were premature. Villa were looking at a loan with an obligation to buy. West Ham have no intention of selling the Brazilian. The latest from the club and Paqueta’s camp is that he will not leave during this window. West Ham are at Nottingham Forest later. Paqueta trained on Saturday and travelled with the squad. There’s some doubt over his involvement because of the speculation over his future but sources at West Ham remain confident he’ll play. Nayef Aguerd, though, is not expected to be involved. He wants out.ShareJackson ordered to come back to ChelseaJacob SteinbergSaturday began with Chelsea agreeing to loan Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich. At 11.15am the teamsheets for their game against Fulham dropped. Two strikers in the starting 11! Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Then, at 12.41pm, Delap limped off. At 12.42pm I jokingly put in my match report that Chelsea would be ordering Jackson’s plane to turn around. Then, at 4pm, news broke that Chelsea had told Bayern the loan was off because of Delap’s injury. Only, Jackson is refusing to come back. He’s still in Munich. His agents are working to revive the deal with Bayern, which includes a €15m loan fee and €65m option to buy.ShareJoin the Football Weekly team at the Troxy in Limehouse.
