Pardew has spent much of this month hoping against hope that the kind of call his club received on this day 12 months ago, when Andy Carroll made a sensational £35million move to Liverpool, did not materialise again.
Goalkeeper Tim Krul, skipper Fabricio Coloccini, midfielder Cheick Tiote and striker Demba Ba have all found themselves the subject of speculation of moves away from Tyneside.
However, as he conducted his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday night's Premier League trip to Blackburn with around 10 hours of the window still to run, he was keeping his fingers crossed.
Asked if Newcastle's resolve had yet been tested, Pardew said: "Not really, no, if I am honest.
"We have had a few enquiries, but not of our big key players, some of the lesser players who are trying to find some experience, and one or two of those might go out - [James] Tavernier, for example.
"Alan Smith has obviously gone and we wish him well because he is a fantastic professional. I hope he does really well for MK Dons. He's a big signing for them.
"But the big players, no, we have been pretty quiet."
Pardew has warned all month that the call he dreads could arrive in the final few hours before Tuesday night's 11pm deadline, but was hoping for a quiet evening.
He said with a smile: "Any number I don't recognise, I am not taking the call today, 100% - and if it's a couple of very senior managers, I might ignore them as well.
"We have still got a few hours to go yet, but I am just going to try to keep my phone on silent."
