The window has slammed shut, it’s time to settle after the frenzy and take stock on how the landscape has changed. We’ve opened up our Surgery Chatroom to allow you express your views, doubts and queries in real-time.

We almost need the international break to recover from what was the most active transfer window in memory. In case you missed it, we provided a summary of the key deals as we see it right here, although in the next week or so we’ll be breaking down the protagonists of Friday’s deadline in more detail.

Around yesterday’s transfer circus, Paul delivered the Scout Picks as normal, while it was Da Beeeez’ turn to throw some Differentials your way. All the team news was collected and collated for you right here, while throughout the week we had articles to aid your selections, including the updated Watchlist and the forward thinking Frisking of the Fixtures.

Our members enjoyed two exclusive articles, with Gareth Bale’s numbers being monitored in depth and the ICT Threat scores coming under analysis as we identified those who have provided a bark without a bite to this point.

With over 7000 in the Captain Poll once again, your armband situation is perhaps little clearer but if you fancy being confused, why not have a last minute listen to Granville and myself withering on in this week’s ScoutCast?

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I really don't see that many of the deadline day transfer players will make anything more than a
    "Wave to the fans"
    15 minute cameo for 1pt.
    I'm sure a few will, but it seems a hell of a risk to find the right ones.

    Why are most people saying that Baines is a must have?

    Their fixtures are not easy, by a long shot!!

    I think Spurs have easier fixtures, for example.

    I know he may get an assist, but so could the Spurs players.
