I'm sure I don't need to spell out why I'm impressed with all the arrivals (at any rate, I'm not going to do it at 11pm on a Friday night) but an outstanding day's business by Parish and Moody. Given that I had my doubts and expressed them very publicly and very often, it would be churlish of me not to equally publicly acknowledge that they proved me wrong...in spades...and it would seem that SP is very much the shrewd and patient negotiator some of you believed him to be but I didn't. With all that said, I'm delighted to proved so wrong.

Really fantastic days work. I don't think there's really much that more that I'd have wanted us to get short of a Ba-class forward which was never really an option. And to be honest, of the sort of forward we might have got (Walters, Rhodes, McCormack, etc.) none were either real scorers or proven in the Premiership so I'm not that unhappy we missed out.

Anyway, my hat is off to Mr. Parish.

What do you know syd? The Punch has signed full time, leaving a space for another loan?

No. Ince has filled the second loan slot.

Another one here very pleased with the day's work, especially the signing of Joe Ledley who will not only add some class to the midfield but will also allow Joel Ward to return to right back.

I wonder who's place Incey Wincey will take? I assume that it will be Bolasie and wouldn't be surprised if we see him and a couple of others disappear out on loan for the rest of the season.
