Deadline Day (Updated 8pm)

We are attempting to keep tabs on deadline day with a few updates as we see them during the day.

9.30am
Jota is off to Birmingham for £6mill and a range of fans thing we should make a bid, despite strikers not really being a huge priority. Neither can I see us paying that much. Similarly people saying Dwight Gayle seen in Nottingham. Newcastle slapped a £20mill price tag on his head. Not happening.
John McGinn at Hibs is still a strong link, having two offers rebuffed. The midfielder has been linked all week, with Hibs desperate to hold on to him. Forest may well go in hard for him if Warburton really wants him.
Fredrik Ronnow, the deal looked dead, but there were suggestions of forums of maybe one last try to get the keeper. If we don’t Evertons Joel Robles is the second choice. After moving down pecking order at Goodison Park.

12pm
And so Tim Krul is the name doing the rounds on Twitter as a potential move. Krul is down the pecking order at Newcastle and would look for a move as an outside chance of the Dutch World Cup squad (if they qualify).
Joe Worrall is being linked with a move to West Brom. Feels a little bit made up, but one or more believable sites are mentioning it. That depends on Jonny Evans leaving, but Worrall would be a very rough replacement for an International with top level experience.
Lica has left. A book of condolence will be open at the City Ground for fans to detail their sadness.



8pm
|So not a lot has happened. We have apparently had offers refused for McGinn and Ronnow. We lost out, if indeed we were in for Tim Krul, who went to Brighton, and apparently we are looking at Federici again on loan.
Vellios has been linked with a move abroad.
Joe Dodoo at Rangers has also been linked and if you believe the hype it's a sure fire thing. I wait with baited breath,

It may well be we get nobody in. I'd rather that than loading the squad with Dumitru's and Lica's like last year.
