I think any players we now get in - which I don't think will happen anyway - would be squad fillers only. The serious spending is done and it's all been superb. The spine of the team is completely replaced and is better than we could have hoped.

No excuses now.

Central defence looks light to me. What happens if/when Elphick or Chester get injured or suspended?. No real experienced cover other than Baker. A concern.

Baker is good cover at this level. Plus we have at least 2 others who can fill in there. And that's not including Richards who's still stinking up the place. I think we're OK.

Aiden McGeady gathering steam on twitter?

Hopefully with Carlton Palmer, Benni McCarthy and David Speedie. They are the final pieces of our jigsaw.

If we can get past midnight without Ayew leaving, and him having the right attitude now on in,  that will be the best businees of the window as I was convinced he'd be off. He's the best player in the division when on song.

Watch the bugger leave now....

I remember a lot of us feeling quite positive this time last year!

But yes, an active transfer window.  Mixed feelings about the quality, but hopefully RDM has what he wanted and it's enough to get us promoted.

We were feeling positive but I think the big difference this time is who owns the club, who manages the club and very much the types of player as much as the quality of player we have purchased in context to the situation we find ourselves in. It is a very defined plan that should pay dividends across what is a long season.

Mazrim told me we're signing Saviola.

All the new players were punts last year. None of these are.

Think the window #slams shut at 11.00 (11.30 for loans) so that's an hour saved already
