The money Crystal Palace would have got for Marc Guehi is safe with him. They have managed to keep him and they will still get figure another time down the line.

Without being disrespectful to Newcastle I think bigger clubs will come in for him and perhaps even offer more.

The homegrown players rule in transfers is the worst one I have ever come across in football, certainly in the last 10-15 years. The idea that you have to sell homegrown players to balance the books is awful.

It is a serious rule that we need to take a hard look at. When you think of academies trying to produce players, fans latch onto that when they get into the first team, and all of a sudden the model is going to be producing them knowing they will be sold in five or six years.

The transfer window will close at 23:00 BST on Friday for the Premier League, English Football League and in Scotland.

Across Europe, the Bundesliga window closed at 19:00, Ligue 1's shuts at 22:00 and in Serie A and La Liga it is 23:00 BST.

The Women's Super League transfer window remains open until 23:00 BST on 13 September.

In the Premier League when you look at settled teams and the teams that have been so successful over recent years, the likes of Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool – they haven’t done a massive amount of business.

They quite often get their business done early and then plug the gaps.

Quite often promoted clubs are scrambling around for ages desperately trying to get players in.
