Thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for the madness that ensues. No doubt we'll have other threads popping up if (when!) we sign somebody. But this might help make things a little easier.
What time are we announcing our first signing then?

Potential problem is that if Sky's Peter Stevenson is on our pitch at 8 o'clock tonight reporting on our window then things could get a bit messy.

Kirsty Linnett has signed for Notts County Ladies after refusing a contract at Brum Ladies.
I hope that doesn't affect the Brady deal.

I thought Norwich needed to sell to buy. Just found £7m under the floorboards they had forgotten about.

Trevor Sinclair, BBC 5 LIVE....reckons that one potential transfer out there is causing a bit of a logjam...that is DEMBELE from Celtic to Chelsea.
- when that one happens [if it does], several other transfers will fall into place..
I have no idea if this is accurate or not.

Who's been linked with Chelsea players? I haven't seen anything.
Maybe Costa will be presented on the Turf tonight

Dembele has been dubbed the next Gary Hooper, 34m is a snip.
About 25/30m more than they could have got him for 6 months ago mind...

Does anyone else have a sneaky feeling that we could be one of the clubs who've bid £5M for Ulloa, or one of the 'other' clubs chasing McCormack?

Yes, looks like Robertson isn't going anywhere. Could just be a ploy to get more money of course.

According to BBC:
"Wigan winger Yanic Wildschut is on his way to Norwich after the Latics accepted a £7m bid.
Wildschut, who has only been at Wigan a year, handed in a transfer request last night.
He's heading to Carrow Road for a medical."
