    It will be interesting to see how many transfers are completed on Deadline Day!
    Sky make a massive deal out of the final day with reporters at all the grounds and pundits in the studio and when you think of the money involved from TV rights etc I wouldn’t be surprised if clubs are instructed to wait?

    We’re one of 8 clubs yet to sign a player and the remaining 12 clubs have signed a combined 20 players with Bournemouth being the most productive with 4 players joining. Charlie Austin going to Southampton is by far the best deal so far – 4m a bargain!!!!

    Obviously there are other factors involved behind the scenes but it does seem strange that the same players get linked every day as the deadline draws closer. It builds anticipation for the fans while Sky Sports ramps up the tension but ultimately we need deals done NOW.

    Central Midfield and a STriker are a priority. Not sure Debuchy is required?

    All good points.. Murdoch gets what Murdoch wants!

    Re transfers I think we will do some business,, we are slow for two reasons in my opinion:

    1) Players are waiting what other offers they get, why go to a team that is nailed on for relegation? join any other club and there is still a chance they will play premier league football next season

    2) Clubs are trying to sell players such as Sane at Bordeaux.. if they cant sell then they will do loan deals.. but they will wait until the end of the window

    So based on this I think we may get 2 or 3 players by the time we play another premier league game. Id like us to buy the best Striker in championship.. maybe Rhodes or Andre Ward? (i know it wont happen..) I just hope Garde can sell our long term vision (i am optimistic we have one) and players arnt all fickle..
