We asked you what would ensure you are satisfied this deadline day.

Here are some of your comments:

Henry: I feel we need a centre-back and I would love us to sign a striker. A central midfielder would be perfect, but I am unsure about wages to revenue.

Simon: Let's be real, the best we can hope for is a couple of loans. If we sign anyone of note, they're signing on the basis that we are in the Championship next season.

Lucy: I think we need to keep hold of Tyler Dibling because he is a very talented youngster who we can grow. We should try and recruit one more defensive midfielder for strength in depth in defence. If Aaron Ramsdale goes, then we need a replacement goalkeeper and if Dibling goes, we will need a young winger as well.

Mike: We need a quality centre-back pairing - it's been a weakness for years. Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Armel Bella-Kotchap are OK but Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. One quality centre-back at least.

George: Frankly, I don't think even a couple of world-class players would save us from going down, so it would be best to hold onto the money or invest for the Championship. We're still digging ourselves out of the PSR-shaped hole [profit and sustainability rules] we dug this time a couple of years ago, when we made a raft of ineffective signings. Avoiding missteps will give us a better budget should we bounce right back up again.

Andy: We need someone to score goals. Preferably someone with experience and not a young player for the future, as we have plenty of those.
