People saying they have a hunch that MS must have something big lined up or he wouldn't be so confident.
I hope that's true but Bowyer has said we are relying on favours Bowyer has said we haven't bid £1m for anyone We today tried to sign Bostock, a player we weren't interested in earlier in the window. We refused a player because they wanted an extra £1k a week. We wouldn't pay Blackpool more for Gnanduillet than offered in the summer.

All the evidence points to no big signings.
Maybe HE has come over, liked what he’s seen and thought sod it I’m gonna get my wallet out.
Bostock transfer has fallen through due to Toulouse not wanting to deal with the admin.
Why did we leave it so late?
Toulouse could have been approached some time ago and cancelled the loan. Chelsea did the same with Gallagher.
We didn't leave it late......Bostock was probaby number 12 or 13 on our list, and seeing as numbers 1-11 haven't come off we're now scrambling around trying to get just any old body in.
Yeah that’ll be what happened. Bowyer, Gallen and Southall definitely went it to it with the philosophy that “any old body” will do.
Just came back on line after 3 hours. Ok no more signings, maybe Matt is waiting for transfer fees and wage demands to drop ? The good news is Taylor can't leave now because to lose your best striker would look shocking a few hours before the window shuts. If we were in mid table I'm convinced Taylor would have left (he still might) There is still time for Matt Southall to look good but last day deals often fail.
Taylor stays= good window Taylor goes= bad window
It's that clear cut.
Why should they fail ? Southall told us himself & as an ex agent he would know, the prices fall the nearer we get to the deadline.
But as you and I know Bob, if you are in demand the prices go up, if your not in demand the wages may fall. Matt Southall must know that if he has been involved with last day transfers before ?
Less than 5 hours for Matt to deliver or block an outgoing transfer. It's a results business on and off the pitch.
Manchester City midfielder Matt Smith is set to join Charlton on loan.
The good news is we can leave this one until the last minute - what with being Dr Who he can just jump in his Tardis and be at sparrows lane in seconds.

If signings happen they happen. If signings don't happen they don't.
Come the morning we'll know all the ins and outs and can judge the business done.
Then we can go to the Valley and see how the team performs.

Bristol rovers have signed another striker. Permanent deal this time

Hopefully Bowyer can do the same with him as with Gallagher.
My guess is that McGeady will be all we get in and Bowyer will say getting back injured players will be like 'new signings'.
Would love to be proved wrong but we just don't do exciting deadline days.
