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
Deadline day
Image source, ShutterstockVery 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.
Deadline day
Birmingham City

Get Involved
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.
Deadline day
Image source, ShutterstockWolves 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.
Deadline day

And Grimsby have sealed a season-long loan deal for York City midfielder Mark Shelton.

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).
Deadline day
Bolton Wanderers
Image source, Getty ImagesBolton 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.
Get Involved
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.
Deadline day

Wigan Athletic, currently rooted to the foot of the table, have signed 18-year-old midfielder Bradley Burrowes on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.
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.
Deadline day
Sheffield United
Image source, ShutterstockSheffield United have signed defender Liam Kitching on loan from Coventry City.
The 26-year-old made 38 appearances for the Sky Blues in the Championship last season to help them win promotion to the Premier League.

Wrexham

Deadline day
Charlton Athletic
Image source, ShutterstockCharlton Athletic have signed winger Junior Nkeng from League One side AFC Wimbledon for an undisclosed fee.
The 19-year-old scored two goals in 24 league games last season and was named the Dons' young player of the year.
His move brings to an end a five-year spell at Wimbledon after coming through the youth system, having started his academy career at Tottenham.
Deadline day
Middlesbrough
Image source, ShutterstockMiddlesbrough are reportedly working on a one in, one out deal on deadline day.
Brighton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry is expected to join on loan after extending his contract with the Premier League club.
Middlesbrough are understood to be leading the race for the 21-year-old's signature following an impressive spell at Bolton Wanderers in League One last season.
The 21-year-old scored 10 goals in 41 games in all competitions for the Trotters.
The move is linked to Boro's potential sale of winger Morgan Whittaker to Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids, with the Championship club looking to strengthen their attacking options.
Cozier-Duberry's departure has been facilitated by Brighton's agreement to sign Millwall forward Femi Azeez. The Nigeria international is set to join the Seagulls in a deal worth an initial £12.5m, which could rise to more than £15m with add-ons.
Deadline day
Image source, ShutterstockCameron Archer's loan move from Southampton to French Ligue 1 club Auxerre has now been made official.
The 24-year-old forward scored 11 goals in 77 appearances for Saints since joining from Aston Villa in 2024.

The 27-year-old made 16 appearances for the Canaries in the Championship last season after signing from Ajax.
Utrecht will have an option to buy the Croatian at the end of his loan deal in the Netherlands.
Get Involved
So Preston's idea of scouting is trying to buy players we have already had play for us. See Tom Cannon, Cameron Archer, Alan Browne, Liam Millar. That those players, having been at Deepdale, choose elsewhere to ply their trade speaks volumes about where we are as a club. Shocking situation - NEW OWNER NOW, PLEASE.
Anthony, Preston
Come on, Birmingham - sign someone.
Ian Dunn, Birmingham
Come on you Irons - let's get our first win of the season.
John Gilling, Kent
