0651: Arguably the name of the day award has already been wrapped up, with Utrecht's Celtic nemesis
Ricky van Wolfswinkel reportedly on the brink of a move to Newcastle -
though Liverpool are rumoured to be interested too.
0647: It's very early for some of you to be fuming, but as a Forest fan who is fully expecting to see his season die out during the remainder of today I feel your pain. Anyway, as I type these very words
there is a man plugging away at our daily Gossip Column,
so hopefully you will gain some cheer from that when it's done.
From Lee in Billericay, via text: "For once am happy to be up with the kids at 5am... but not happy to see the Adebayor link, please make it go away."
From shaunpenhaligon on Twitter:
"I've just seen Diego Maradona getting in taxi at Nottingham Airport and asking to be taken to Forest ground."
Haha, good one. Surely he'd fly into East Mids Airport, no?

From Dubaispur, via text: "My thoughts on ex-Arsenal star Emmanuel joining Spurs? Adebayorful!! But we do need a striker please 'Arry."
0637: Oh look, here's
a picture of Ghana's World Cup star Asamoah Gyan at Newcastle Airport,
prior to a potential move to Sunderland. And here's some
Portuguese chat about Alex Hleb turning down Benfica to sign for Birmingham.
I wonder who the last player to do that was?
0630: Back to Tottenham, and Harry Redknapp's boys have been linked with moves for West Ham's Scott Parker and Everton's Steven Pienaar as well as Emmanuel Adebayor this morning. I wonder what today holds in store down at White Hart Lane. And will deadline day specialist Robbie Keane still be at the club come 1800 BST?
0625: Another deal that jumps out is the proposed move of Alexander Hleb to Birmingham from Barcelona for between £4m-5m. He's not exactly had a great time of it since leaving Arsenal, but the Belarussian would be a stellar signing for the Blues.
0622: Now then - it wouldn't be much of a transfer deadline day without Tottenham or Manchester City, would it? No surprise, then, that the major surprise on the back pages of today's newspapers is a story suggesting
City's former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor might join Spurs on loan for the rest of the season.
Early thoughts on that?
0618: Things I expect to happen today: Paul Konchesky to move to Liverpool, Robinho to join AC Milan, Sunderland to seal a deal for Asamoah Gyan, goalkeepers Shay Given and Mark Schwarzer to be continually linked with moves and Robbie Keane to be seen at about 14 different training complexes.
From inspectorsaab on Twitter:
"Thought I'd get in early, just seen Harry Redknapp in a white van setting up a stall at the local market..."
0611: If you're interested in shedding your blood with me, you can do so via the usual avenues, though be aware that 606 will not open for business until 0900 BST. That means for three hours or so, you've got to hit me like you've never hit me before
on Twitter @Stevo_football
and get the ludicrous 'I've seen Gerd Muller in Barnsley' texts in to 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide).
0605: It's that time of the year again. Most sensible people aren't even awake yet, but we few, we happy few, we band of brothers are alive and kicking as another transfer deadline day dawns. "For he to-day that sheds his blood with me/Shall be my brother... And gentlemen in England now a-bed/Shall think themselves accursed they were not here." Indeed they will.
0600: Hello, is it me you're looking for?
