DEADLINE day has been a quiet one for Saints so far but with just under 10 hours still to go there is time for that to change.
Eight players have already arrived at St Mary's, as Ralph Hasenhuttl looked to add a blend of pace, enthuisasm and youthful exuberance to his squad.
But other clubs are having busy days before the window slams shut tonight, for example south-coast outfit Bournemouth are currently inundated with news of potential arrivals.
Saints getting the majority of their business done with time to spare leaves it a less exciting one today.
The holes left by the late transfer exits of Danny Ings and Jannik Vestergaard have already been plugged but supporters still believe some areas lack the depth required.
Here's the lunchtime thoughts of fans as we approach the final hours...
We've signed Broja on loan so it leaves with another spare loan spot to deal with anyone in the league bar Chelsea.

I'd like to see us at least try and fill the CDM slot incase of any injuries in that area with Romeu/JWP/Diallo. #SaintsFC
A friendly reminder that #DeadlineDay is usually always disappointing for #SaintsFC fans. I’d log off Twitter for the day to stop yourself from being disappointed. You might even be pleasantly surprised tomorrow…

🚨 Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ move to Everton has been blocked & he won’t be training with the Arsenal first team.

He is desperate to leave the club, could a surprise deadline day move to the south coast happen? 👀#SaintsFC #AFC #DeadlineDay pic.twitter.com/LpAa5Xjltr
I’ll be surprised if we don’t get a central midfielder in today. I’m not confident on the depth we have there If Prowsey or Romeu are injured #saintsfc

Anyone else hoping that Semmens is preparing two deal sheets to bring back Tadic and Pelle at 23:59 tonight?! #SaintsFC

We've added squad depth but have lost our best CB and best striker and replaced with ones who aren't as good. We've managed the situation we were in but would struggle to call it a 'great' window. '#saintsfc

Saints still need a keeper. #SaintsFC
