Transfer Deadline Day: The Yellow Tie Derby (Rav wore it best)
The 4th most exciting day of the year in the OCS household is here.
Today we finally find out whether JLingz is returning to play with the band once more.
Today we may welcome Nikola Vlasic to the club and be surprised that he's actually the 6th Croatian to play for West Ham.
But will we bring a striker in? Will there be a surprise signing that Fabrizio, Nico and Ex have all missed? Will we ever sign a left back?
Some questions will be answered. Many more will be asked.
Buckle in people; it's Transfer Deadline Day.

I'd like the Tagliafico/Pellegrini rumours to be true as I think we need a LB/LWB, particularly given the concerns over Masuaku's knee, but I don't think we'll get one in.
And the much-vaunted striker will probably have to wait until January at least. Vlasic is being touted by some as a potential False 9, so he's looking likely to be the Antonio Plan B.
Areola, Zouma and Vlasic certainly improve the quality in the squad, but depth could still be a problem. But let's see where the next 15 hours take us.
I'd take Kral. I know he didn't cover himself in glory at the Euros but Moyes did tip him as one to watch before the tournament started, so has obviously impressed him, but it doesn't look like it'll be a goer.
Please help me banish this image.
Ajax and the English West Ham United have reached verbal agreement about a transfer of Nicolas Tagliafico. The 28-year-old defender can reportedly earn Ajax around twelve million euros. However, the transfer of the Argentine international is not yet a foregone conclusion, because Tagliafico himself has yet to reach an agreement with the London club from the Premier League.
Tagliafico himself is in Venezuela for international obligations, while his agent Ricardo Schlieper is in Amsterdam to finalize the deal for the player, who came to the Netherlands in January 2018.
West Ham United's initial offer for a four-year contract for the Argentine was inadequate. The Tagliafico camp is awaiting an improved offer from London. The left-back hopes that the English will come before tomorrow evening when the transfer market closes.
Before the match with Vitesse, Ajax director of football affairs Marc Overmars said on Sunday that he was already taking into account a transfer from Tagliafico. Because of the services rendered by the Argentine international in Amsterdam, the national champion promised earlier to cooperate in a transfer of the defender. A fixed transfer limit has been verbally agreed between Ajax and the player, who played more than 140 matches for the club.

Bit disappointed, ngl.
Good player though.
Has played wide left and right, and occasionally through the middle (he's very good with his back to goal) so I think he's a False 9 option primarily.
So mainly competition for Benrahma, a wide option & a striker possibility.
