I think Will Still quickly realised that he needed to be utterly ruthless in removing the linger of Russball from the squad and he's done that in a clinical manner. It had to be done although I never thought we'd see so many out of the door. He now has the chance to put his own stamp on the side with players brought in to fit his systems and I can imagine he's very excited about that. We'll know after about ten games whether this root and branch reset is going to work but I have high hopes that it's going to revolutionise us in a good way.

Don't agree that the Pompey game will be a litmus test or much of an indicator other than maybe how we cope under pressure. It's a one-off huge derby game and the first for some in the squad so trying to play football will almost go out the window. Much rather judge in a handful of games time when Will Still has had more time to work with the squad and the players start to gel.

Think we can safely confirm it'll be Will Still's team whoever he picks. This is an almost total reset and has been too long coming. Not saying it's sure to be a success but it feels like an exorcism.

Yeah if you want an old bloke propping up your defence 🙂

Which tweet?

Assume this is a joke?

Not if you're a peeping tom.

Yeah, until he let that shot go under his body against West Germany - he got called a lot of different names then.

The question is, did the deal sheets go in between 1700 and 1900? If they did we've got another two hours of this fun to enjoy.

Now what do we do?

Wonder why Sky don't call it Premier League Deadline Day?

The club could easily announce that the deal sheet is in.

Hooray, we got a deal done on deadline day.

Didn't know that.

So just been explained that there is a 2 hour grace period when the window closes as long as the deal sheet has been completed between 17.00 and 19.00

Sorry, not up to speed on all that rubbish 🙂

Think he grabbed a burger at Fleet services.

These comments are the equivalent of a Mexican wave when nothing is happening on the pitch.

Presume this is done and just waiting for official confirmation and the usual play station video.

Nathan Redmond? 🙂

Yeah, good point.

Looks as though Leicester are going to hold on to Fatawu. Surprised no Prem club has come in for him.

Think they'll be aiming higher but realistically too late to sign anyone.

Surprised nobody has come in for Baz.

Fair point.
