It's getting to my second favourite time of the year! Summer Transfer Window Deadline Day (yes I'm sad, I know!)

So what's everyone's thoughts on the Ins and Outs to come in this window?

Personally I can see us getting a keeper and a CB in, probably looking like a midfielder too which to me means that I think BO might be off. I can see Hobbs going too, paid a lot to never play. I think it would only be fair to young Mr Walker for him to go out to a league 1 or 2 team on loan.

I don't think we're far away from having a team to compete, and while I wished we had signed a quality LB in Bidwell and got Harley Dean to shore up our defence, I'm happy. My one issue with our team at the moment is probably unpopular but it's that I don't think Smith is Commanding enough at the back. Looking at the last time we competed in this league we had Camp who took over from the nervy smith and took control of his penalty area. That is definitely the one area Smith needs to develop.

Smith - Great prospect, but not the keeper we need right now. I still wouldn't be too disappointed to see Osbourn leave but MW raves about him so can't see him going anywhere. Vellios is definitely one that will be looking to move on. I'd imagine Hobbs is happy collecting his 25k per week so will be happy to stay and fight for a place. MW seems adverse to signing any player taller than 5ft 8 so we'll have to wait and see what happens

In: 1 GK, 1 CB (Harlee Dean), 1 LB

Out: Evtimov (loan), Lam (loan), Hobbs or Mills, Liça, Walker (loan).

GK: Smith has potential, not good enough for no.1 yet.

CB: We need a commanding CB to play with Worrall.

LB: Traoré decent (injury prone). Fox better as CB.

Evtimov: We wouldn't need 4 GKs fighting for one spot.
Lam: looks to be on his way to FC Twente.
Hobbs: Injury prone.
Mills: I don't rate him.
Liça: MW has told him to find another club.
Walker: Not yet ready for championship in my opinion.

I completely agree, I just hope the right players will come in time and settle in straight away,we also need to stop being so harsh on our team, youngsters are learning and the new signings take time to perform and settle in,it's early days, we just need to wait and see.

Birmingham have had a £2 million bid accepted for Dean so forget that one.
