Sheffield Wednesday's transfer dominoes, FA Cup hopes, Coventry City and Pierce Charles
and live on Freeview channel 276
Anything could happen between now and the January transfer window deadline where Sheffield Wednesday are concerned. That's the belief of the Star's Wednesday reporter Alex Miller as the transfer window heads towards a climax next week.
The Owls have signed two players this month to strengthen their squad with James Beadle arriving on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion and Ike Ugbo from French outfit Troyes. However, both the club's supporters and head coach Danny Röhl want more from the January window and an element of frustration has set in at Hillsborough with less than a week to go until the February 1 deadline.

"Transfer windows can turn on a moment if you can get one deal done," Miller said on The Star's Everywhere and Nowhere Wednesday podcast alongside Joe Crann. "Sat here now, I'd love to have a list of names to reel off but Wednesday do operate in the shadows.
"If we're sat here now on February 2 and Wednesday have signed no players, I would be surprised. If they've signed five players, I wouldn't necessarily. It really does feel like anything could happen."
Crann added: "It does kind of feel like Wednesday are waiting for a few dominoes to fall."
