Please tell me why Wolves owners Fosun think we don’t need to buy anyone when we have money in the bank from the winter window.
Stu in Brum
As far as West Ham are concerned, at least we don't have the usual over-the-hill expensive has-beens we are used to. Forget promotion - at least we have a young group who want to play for the club. Engels is 12 million quid better than Potts.

Anthony (17:30) is upset at Preston going after North End's old players - Sheff United have signed four returning players!
TomCrump, Oxfordshire
Usual lack of support from the dismal Cardiff City board. We have a fantastic manager in Brian Barry-Murphy and an excellent young squad. All we needed was two experienced heads - a striker and winger. Currently, we'll be left struggling, IMO. Tan out!

Derby County are working on a deal to bring Union Saint-Gilloise winger Mohammed Fuseini to the club.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian has scored 15 goals in 76 appearances for the Belgian Pro League club since the start of the 2024-25 season.
He also made two appearances in the Champions League last season against Bayern Munich and Atalanta.
I am not sure on nature of the deal at this stage, but work is ongoing.

O’Hare leaving Sheffield United finishes any chance we had of a respectable season. I think we’ll survive this season but I really fear for our long-term future.
Gary, Sheffield
Whats happening at Wolves? Not good.
Mark Banham, Lowestoft
Come on, Birmingham. Where is the striker we need or the additional creative player in a 10? All very quiet.
Chris Kiely, Cotswolds
Saints fan here. We’ve done good business this summer but, as George said earlier (17:11), Ramsdale is on about 70k a week, playing for the U21s and is clearly not in Eckert’s plans. Hopefully some good can be done with the proceeds of the sales of Harwood-Bellis and Charles.
Theo, Winchester
DONE DEAL: Saints defender Sugawara heads to Italypublished at 18:47 BST

Southampton

Southampton defender Yukinari Sugawara has joined Italian Serie A side Cagliari on a season-long loan.

Sugawara arrived at St Mary's from AZ Alkmaar in 2024 but has not played for Saints since August 2025.

I fear for Cardiff if Yousef Salech gets injured. There's no-one in the squad to replace him. We must get a striker in today.
Anthony Tanner, Cardiff
Not for the first time, fans have been disappointed about Cardiff's end to a transfer window. After extending Barry-Murphy's contract, it left a lot of hope that he would be properly backed. Any injury and the team will be stretched. Long season ahead.
Craig Garner, Cardiff
Cardiff's last few weeks have been an absolute shambles. The board are not fit to run a football club of this size. We have made four signings over three months, two of whom were on loan last season. We have the squad depth of a Sunday League team. Shocking. Board out.
Brian Kerr, Cardiff
If we don’t sign anyone, the board have failed Cardiff once again.
Rhys, Cardiff
STAYING: Swindon's Drinan signs new dealpublished at 18:39 BST

Very good news if you are of a Swindon Town persuasion this evening.
Striker Aaron Drinan, who scored 28 goals in all competitions last season for the club, has signed a new four-year deal.
The 28-year-old top-scored in League Two last season and starts tonight's home match against Port Vale.

Robinson leaves Bluespublished at 18:36 BST
Deadline day
Birmingham City

Birmingham City defender Jack Robinson has left the club by mutual consent.
The 33-year-old made 15 appearances for Blues in the Championship last season after joining from Sheffield United in 2025 following a five-year spell at Bramall Lane previously.

West Ham need to lose wantaway players like Alvarez and Todibo. One down, one to go! Then hope we can sign young and talented lads instead. It’s up to Nuno to give them a chance. Play more positively and on the front foot. COYI.
Guy Saunders, North Yorkshire
How is it that West Ham fans have seen for years the woeful weakness in defence but the management is blind to it? They hollow out an already-weak defence by removing Diouf and Todibo, yet no replacements? Really? How do we get promoted without a defence?
Steve Wade, Cornwall
Good riddance, Tobido. Can’t believe he doesn’t fancy Stoke away! Really do need a centre-back now. Also - anyone know what Payet is up to?
Joseph, Stratford
Dimitri Payet retired in March aged 38, having left Vasco da Gama at the end of the previous season. The playmaker rejoined Marseille from West Ham in January 2017, later saying he had been "bored" with the Hammers' defensive style in midtable in the Premier League.

DONE DEAL: Wolves' Moller Wolfe joins Hamburg on loanpublished at 18:29 BST

Wolves

Wolves defender David Moller Wolfe has joined German Bundesliga side Hamburg on loan for the season.
The 24-year-old Norwegian made 22 appearances for Wolves last season but could not prevent them from relegation from the Premier League.
Moller Wolfe arrived at Molineux from Dutch club AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2025 and has appeared twice in the Championship this season.

RE my comment at 15:55: Bromley's X post was very ominous.
Charlie Wright, Nottingham
Bad luck, Charlie. The Notts County fan had been hoping his side would hold on to winger Jodi Jones, who has now joined Bromley for an undisclosed fee. Perhaps the Magpies can provide some consolation by continuing their unbeaten start to the League One season away to Doncaster Rovers tonight (19:45 BST).
DONE DEAL: Bolton sign Bair on loan from Auxerrepublished at 18:17 BST
Deadline day
Bolton Wanderers

Bolton Wanderers have signed Canadian international striker Theo Bair on loan from French Ligue 1 club Auxerre.
The 27-year-old scored 10 goals in 33 games in all competitions last season while on loan at Swiss Super League side Lausanne, where he also played in the Europa Conference League.
He has previously had spells with Motherwell and St Johnstone in Scotland, as well as MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps.
Bair will spend the season with the Trotters, who will have an option to make the deal permanent next summer.

Where are all the new West Ham players we were promised? Just like every other time, it's just more lies to sell season tickets. Hand the money back.
Dave Finn, Kent
All quiet at Ewood Park. When they do try to make a move, you can guarantee somebody forgets to plug the fax machine in, as usual. I hope I am made to eat my words but it doesn’t look promising.
Keith Eddleston, Blackpool
Everyone at Leyton Orient is working very hard to sign one or two players before the transfer window closes. I have been supporting since they were in the National League and I have watched them progress up the league. Tonight, we are away to Bromley.
Paul, London
Orient spent two seasons in the fifth tier until 2019, then won promotion again from League Two in 2023. They'll attempt to extend their away record to three wins in all competitions tonight (19:45 BST) - you can follow all the EFL action live with us.

Meanwhile Bromley, who were hammered 7-2 by Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend, have also bolstered their midfield options this evening.
Jodi Jones, who scored for Notts County in their League Two play-off final win in May, has ended his three-and-a-half year spell at the Magpies, signing for Bromley for an undisclosed fee.
