Based on our typical transfer process, and given the time left, I doubt we get anyone in before the season starts.
Nothing will happen while the team are flying home, then we'll be preparing for Blackpool.
A few frustratingly quiet days with no links next week. Maybe news of a 'possible breakthrough' on an underwhelming deal late next week or next weekend.
3-4 days of no updates. Tabloid stories talk of Everton 'considering a bid.'
ITK's will tell us it's getting closer, then that it's done. 3-4 more days of it being common knowledge that the player has signed but we need to get an overly elaborate announcement video, photoshoot and interview done. Anticlimactic announcement given a) everyone knew days ago he'd signed, b) we need another 2 at least.
Lampard asked in his Chelsea press conference whether the player will feature, 'Not ready yet, he's not trained for a month.'
Repeat for another underwhelming signing then a flurry of ins and outs on deadline day when we actually have to get a move on because we're rooted bottom P6 L6.
