It's not been the most exciting of transfer windows so far but if we have learned anything from the concept since it was introduced in 2002, it's that we could only just be getting started.
Deadline day is on the horizon and despite teams having entire summers and all of January to get their deals done, there are always some sides relying on that old rusty fax machine to ensure a transfer is completed in the dying moments of a transfer window.
Of course it's not just about the transfers. Player tantrums, dramatic buyouts and even supporter meltdowns ensure you can see more drama on deadline day then you do for the entire window previously. Here Sportsmail looks back at the mad and memorable deadline day moments over the years.
The 'Torres & Carroll' window
Film sequels. Mostly they are not that great compared with the originals, and a similar logic can be applied to the January transfer window in regards to the preceding summer.
Yet 2011 was the 'Terminator 2' of the series when a quite stunning deadline day saw Liverpool break their transfer record (twice) and Chelsea do likewise in the last few minutes before the deadline.
Fernando Torres stole the headlines with his £50m move from Anfield to Stamford Bridge, with Liverpool opting to replace him with the £35m capture of Newcastle favourite Andy Carroll. However it was the Reds' move earlier in the day that would prove to be their best piece of business - the £22.8m deal to take Luis Suarez from Ajax.
Odemwingie drives into QPR... and is turned away
Deadline day not quite going as you would like it to? Then try and engineer some activity yourself.
That's what Peter Odemwingie tried to do back in January 2013 as the then West Bromwich Albion striker made the drive to Loftus Road to try and secure a transfer to Queens Park Rangers.
However on arrival he was refused access by the west London side as they had not agreed a fee with the Baggies. Odemwingie was left to wait around in the car park to try and wait for a breakthrough that would never occur.
The late show with Falcao
Was it really worth staying up for? At the time it was high drama. The 11pm deadline in the 2014 summer window had come and gone and yet two hours later there was still nothing from Manchester United in terms of trying to get a loan deal for Radamel Falcao over the line.
The man he was replacing, Danny Welbeck had already moved to Arsenal in a 1am move so it seemed a matter of when and not if United would land one of Europe's most feared strikers in the Colombian.
Then at around 1.30am, when doubts were starting to creep in, the transfer was finally confirmed. United had their man on loan from Monaco with an option to sign for £40million the following summer. Now bring on the goals...
One year and four goals later - the Red Devils unsurprisingly didn't take up the option. It didn't stop Chelsea from going on to make the same mistake though...
The very late show with Arshavin
But if we had to wait a few hours for Falcao, it took even longer for Arsenal to get a deal over the line to bring Andrei Arshavin to the Emirates Stadium in 2009.
There were more than a few raised eyebrows when the Gunners finally confirmed a club record £15m fee to land the Russian... nearly 24 hours after the closure of the winter transfer window.
Adverse weather conditions had crippled London's transport network (a few inches of snow can do that) leading to administrative delays in getting the deal complete on deadline day. Russia's Euro 2008 star would go on to show glimpses of his talent under Arsene Wenger but never did live up to his star billing.
Manchester City taken over... then sign Robinho
Transfer deadline day can be memorable for all sorts of reasons, but for Manchester City fans the final few hours of the summer window in 2008 will have its own unique place in history.
Heading into deadline day, they were just a regular Premier League club floating in and around mid-table. Within hours not only had they been taken over by an Abu Dhabi investment group promising to splash the clash - they instantly spent some of it to.
Any concerns over the ambitions of the new owners were soon answered when they swiftly moved to snatch Real Madrid's Robinho away from title chasing Chelsea for £32.5m, while even trying to sign Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham.
The Robinho move may not have worked out well for either party long term but the football landscape had changed in a matter of hours as City almost instantly joined the Premier League's elite inside an incredible 24 hours.
Real Madrid fury at Man Utd as De Gea deal collapses
One of the more extraordinary 'blame game' episodes in the history of the transfer window. David de Gea hadn't played for United at the start of the 2015-16 season and looked set for a £29m move to Real Madrid, with Keylor Navas heading in the opposite direction.
But the deal suffered a spectacular collapse after the deadline was missed by two minutes. Madrid suspected skulduggery from United, claiming the Red Devils replied to correspondence eight hours later and then only filed the completed deal to the Bernabeu at exactly 11pm - the time of the deadline - meaning Madrid could not confirm the transfer in time.
United defended their actions saying they filed the transfer through two minutes before the deadline following negotiations involving admin errors from Madrid.
Who do you side with? Well, United were not exactly motivated to rush through a deal, a statement later read: 'The club is delighted that its fan-favourite double player of the year, David De Gea, remains a Manchester United player.'
Leicester miss out on Silva by 14 seconds
If Madrid thought they had been hard done by in their pursuit of De Gea, then Leicester City were left fuming at the outcome of their £22m capture of Adrien Silva at the start of the 2017-18 season.
It was fashionably left late, but it was too late, with the important documents to confirm the deal only reaching FIFA to be ratified 14 seconds too late.
As a result the deal still went through but Silva was unregistered to play for the Foxes until the following January transfer window.
It wasn't worth the wait. He failed to break into Claude Puel's squad on a regular basis and is now out of favour under Brendan Rodgers, with the midfielder currently on loan at Monaco.
Arsenal replace injured star with another injured player
Arsenal and deadline day have never really got along - especially during Arsene Wenger's tenure at the club.
But even by the Gunners' standards, fans were left confused when Wenger moved to the loan market to get a short term replacement for the injured Aaron Ramsey... by signing another injured player.
Initially, the Wenger seemed to find the ideal replacement in Kim Kallstrom who was a versatile and reliable Swedish international with a vast amount of experience.
But his medical revealed he also had serious injuries. It didn't stop Arsenal completing the deal but it did stop him from making more than just four appearances during his time at the Emirates Stadium.
