Transfer deadline day (1 Viewer)

Going around the stadiums asking about late deals from reporters and just see the stupid mugs surrounding the reporter chanting and just being a general nuisance.

056: DONE DEAL
Yey! It's the one we were all waiting for. Stoke City have confirmed they have broken their transfer record to sign Tottenham striker Peter Crouch for £10m. What took them so long?



0030: DONE DEAL
Another Everton departure we waiting for confirmation on. Striker Jermaine Beckford has joined big-spending Championship side Leicester for a fee which could rise to £4m.



0005: DONE DEAL
Here's another move that was off earlier, but went through in the end. Possibly because Neil Warnock's move for Sebastien Bassong from Spurs fell through. Anyway, QPR have completed the signing of Sunderland defender Anton Ferdinand.



0002: DONE DEAL
I wrote this one off. I was wrong. Fulham have signed FC Twente striker Bryan Ruiz. That comes after late interest from Newcastle that saw the Magpies have a £12m bid accepted but fail to agree personal terms with the Costa Rican.

2352: DONE DEAL
As midnight approaches, news of deals is still coming through. Hull have signed Leicester striker Martyn Waghorn on loan until January.

QPR are pulling together a decent team I reckon.

Did they keep hold of Taraabt?

Yep, they signed Wright Phillips today. Have missed out on Bellamy and Bassong though.

Transfer window now shut, will update the deals that went through as they appear.

The Meireles deal was kept quiet didn't take off with the media until 20 mins to go after Meireles handed in a transfer request.

This is ace! What a day. Can't believe Arsenal signing Arteta, just want to see the Everton fans now I bet they're gutted lol.

 

[bamalamafizzfazz]

Why does everything have to be submitted to the FA by fax? It's not the 90s!

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

No idea lol. I think Arteta is a very good signing for Arsenal as is Benayoun. Experienced good players.

Suprised by Meireles never really rated him but Boas obviously watched him play in the portuguese league when they were both there.

 

[Skybluesman]

Agree on Meireles. Clever player, and a great shot, but always seemed a yard slow and apt to run out of steam...

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

We missed out on some decent loans with Waghorn joining Hull and Jay Simpson joining Milwall both on loan

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Could be a great signing for Fulham that one.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Leicester have signed Beckford. So hope they fail this year.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Think we are about done for the night now.
