So on the day that Sky Sports news send cameras around the country and we get the chance to see just how desperate football fans can become to get their faces on national TV we sit down and wonder whether Garry Monk may have one or two last minute signings up his own sleeve.
There are certain sights that you know you will see today. Harry Redknapp being interviewed through his car window, Liverpool's training ground, a picture taken from three miles away showing shadows behind a window at Old Trafford and Stoke fans proving that they are the ugliest fans on the planet.
Very rarely though on transfer deadline day though has their been much action at the Liberty in the last couple of years. Last summer we were forced into early action through the participation in the Europa League whilst back in January it was quite early in the day that we told the cameras to head off home as there was no more business to be done.
I think that could change today as all the noises out of the club are very much that there is more business to be done. Garry Monk already told the press over the weekend that he has identified his targets and given them to the board to do the business to bring them in.
It has already been a busy summer of new signings at the Liberty with ten new signings already in although some are more for the future than the present but we have already added Fabianski, Emnes, Gomis, Sigurdsson, Montero, Fernandez and Carroll in what has been a busy summer with plenty of people leaving at the same time - notably a large percentage of our Spanish contingent.
Fans will tell you that a defensive midfielder is a must, possibly a right back and maybe even another option out wide. We have been linked already this summer with moves for Adam Matthews and Scott Sinclair and I genuinely would not be surprised to see at least one of those turning up at the Liberty at some point today.
"We want two players for each position, then the younger lads we have brought in will complement that and if they work hard they will get their opportunity like Jay Fulton did last year." Monk told the Western Mail
"But there are definitely a couple of positions where we need to bring people in.
"We hope we can do it, we identified the targets a while ago and I have given them to the board and chairman so it is over to them to bring them in.
"I don't know if they are close. I think the club are trying to talk to them but I do not know if we are any closer."
I think I would be disappointed and surprised in equal measure if we did not make new signings today and given the nature of the players we have signed so far they will be players who can compete for a first team spot as well. Huw Jenkins told the recent fans forum that we have moved on bringing in players that cannot compete for that first team squad and with the seven names mentioned above then we definitely are matching the criteria that we set out.
This is Garry Monk's first transfer window about to close, as a Premier League manager he has started brilliantly with his team joint top of the Premier League, today he will finally make it if he has a microphone thrust at him through his car window as he heads home for the evening...
