Transfer deadline day

Whilst not expecting the drama of deadline day last year, it could still be a busy day for ourselves before the window shuts until January.

Sky Sports News are reporting that Tal Ben-Haim is in talks with Portsmouth over a potential move, a departure that has been widely anticipated.

It is two other moves that will be worth keeping an eye on however.

It was thought yesterday that Benjani would be heading to Hull, but this evening reports suggest the deal has been shelved due to player and club being unable to agree personal terms, which hints that his current deal is a good one. It wouldn't be a surprise however if - depending on other potential targets - this was resurrected tomorrow.

Then there is Richard Dunne. Whilst talks were held last week with Aston Villa, it was reported that the move was delayed over potential severance pay - with Dunne scheduled for a testimonial next year. Villa were also linked over the weekend with a number of other defenders over the weekend so it maybe that this deal utlimately doesn't get done.

From the noises coming out of the club, it seems that our spending is done but I'm sure there are targets that interest us and if there is a chance of landing someone Hughes wants, then a deal could be done.

Either way, Sky Sports News will likely be on for the most part tomorrow until the 5pm deadline.
