Well, that was an interesting interview with Sanchez on the official site...He is apparently in the hunt for three more players before the deadline closes at midnight and seems virtually certain that at least one of them will sign.
My guess is that it will be a striker as he made it clear he needs a partner for Healy now that McBride is out until around Christmas. The question is who? My preferred option would be Bobby Zamora. A big, useful presence in the box and capable of turning on the class in front of goal - as was illustrated by last night's goals of the 2005/06 season special on Sky.
We've already had one bit of good news today - the arrival of Dejan Stefanovic - who i'd imagine is almost guaranteed a place in the starting line-up against Spurs tomorrow. Please let him bring some stability to the back four - or at least wake everyone else up when there's five minutes left on the clock.
A more controversial rumour is the proposed arrival of Sean Davies from Pompey in a swap with Diop. I have heard nothing to suggest this is anything other than speculation but i, for one, would welcome him back with open arms. I was very upset when he went off to Spurs as he seemed the obvious candidate at that time to assume the captaincy and press ahead to gain England caps. His career has stagnated over the last three (four?) seasons since his departure and we could be the ideal place to help kick-start it for him.
Any views?

Rob, the definite one is Liam for Seol Ki-Hyeon, I'm fairly sure of that.

Thanks for that Rich...how do you feel about it? Personally, i'll be sorry to see Liam go but i don't know whether i'm just blind to his faults
Ah, I dunno. The thing with Liam is that he could be really really good, but I don't think he's nearly as good as people think at the moment. But I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I'm rubbish at judging players so who knows?
I'd have thought we'd have been better off loaning him if such a deal was available, see how that went, but who knows what options we had. The lad wants first team football I guess, so perhaps best to cut ties.
Loaning out would have been a good idea...I still remember his home debut against Man Utd a couple of years back and he was outstanding
