It’s not going to be the busiest transfer deadline day Wolves have ever been a part of but there will be some activity, with manager Mick McCarthy actively seeking a striker and fully expecting to have a new man in place by the end of the day.

Albion pulled off a coup yesterday to land former Wigan star Paul Scharner on a two-year deal and, with Rochdale defender Craig Dawson heavily linked this morning, there could be more new faces coming through the door at the Hawthorns before transfer deadline day is out.

Most Villa fans would rather have a permanent manager on board by the end of the day than new players, but caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald had been working on a list of transfer targets since taking temporary charge, could we see one or two of them come off today?

Birmingham have been linked with many names big and small since the transfer window reopened although manager Alex McLeish has been coy on moving for his targets so far.

But today’s the day – McLeish is about to run out of time.

It’s expected to be a quiet day at Walsall with manager Chris Hutchings boldly declaring his business is done in the transfer market, but we have all heard that one before, haven’t we?
