It’s been a disappointingly quiet day, leaving a lot of unanswered questions floating in mid-air.

At the time of writing there’s still no definitive movement on Berbatov, Robinho, Barry etc. The Corluka situation remains confused, as does Warnock’s future at Blackburn. Hull and Stoke are being linked with plenty of expensive loan signings without any conclusion. All in all, pretty non-eventful.

Lampard did sign a new 5 year contract with Chelsea today, which to my mind, just reinforces his fantasy value this season, given that his future is now settled. He’ll love kissing that badge when his first deflected shot goes in.

There were also a few injury updates with Scharner confirmed as a major doubt but Kirkland looking more likely for a return for Wigan at West Ham. Meanwhile, Man City were rocked by the news that Vassell would be out for 10 weeks after suffering a pre-season knee injury.

It’s actually quite handy that things have been quiet. The start of the season has coincided with the busiest fortnight of my working year which is seriously limiting the updates I can bring you right now. I hope to complete my selection guides with my look at the forwards in the next 24 hours but it’s looking a little unlikely. Instead I’ll endeavour to keep you up to date with team news up until Saturday and my Scout Picks will be hitting on Friday as per usual.

Thanks for sticking with me. Traffic over the past week has doubled the previous records on the site and the amount of quality comments being posted is fantastic. Apologies for not being able to match this with a stream of updates but that will come once the next fortnight is out of the way.
