Although tomorrow night is crucial for bringing in permanent signings, 5pm on Thursday is the deadline for the Premiership clubs to name their 25 man squads.
The squad cannot contain more than 17 non "home-grown" players - hense the crazy prices being paid for "British" players.
Remember that although the transfer window closes at midnight on Wednesday, there will be a big opportunity for some very serious loan moves from Thursday onwards.
Feeding frenzy !!!!!

Dublin bay prawn baggette
Did you know that Napoleon had a competition to design a loaf for the army to carry and the Baggette one becuse it could fit down the legs of their ample trousers! (not a word of a lie!)
I digress i belive Sven has been hanging on knowing that players will not make the 25 squad so premiership players will be avaliable.

Similar thing with bananas - designed to fit down the front of beige trousers worn in "Simpkins" nighclub in the 90's.

I can't think of too many players who would be left out of those squads now though. Most of them who would have been left out have now been sold (Keane, Santa Cruz etc.) The only one I can think of is Bellamy but I think Cardiff would also be in for him and we all know who he would choose.

Bellamy will go back to Liverpool I reckon.

Word is that Bellamy is refusing to budge – transfer-wise – which would make a loan somewhere or other pretty well inevitable.
If he's not flogged tomorrow – and it sounds like no one is anywhere near Spurs' valuation ATM – I can easily see Crouch being outside their 25.
