In fairness, I would say that for anything to be sorted and signed by 5pm tomorrow, we'd probably be hearing more than just vague suggestions.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was it now.

New rumour: Rodrigo from Valencia. Name sounds like he should be great. No idea if he is.

For 60m euros, you'd hope so. Do we really need another Brazilian?

He’s Spanish isn’t he?

Born in Rio. Moved to Spain in his teens. Dual nationality. Too old for us at that money.

But that's not the way the window works, is it?

What about Julian Joachim?

Julian is playing in the Gibraltar league this season.

 doubt Benrahma's on his way as Brentford are demanding £25m for him and i'm sure we won't go to that. As to Hogan. let's hope it's signed and sealed as Jones is on a tightrope there.

I'm not sure he ever looked 'good'. He gave his all and looked passable most of the time but that was about it. Not quite the coup that 1982 Brazilian legend Socrates was when he came out of retirement to play for Whitley Bay or whoever it was.

In my stupidity I’d forgotten the window now closes tomorrow. What do we reckon? All over? one more striker on the way?

I’d be perfectly happy if we’re done, especially with the news about Doug, very happy with another option up front.
