14.14pm: Everton have signed Brazilian striker Jo on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season.
Good move for both parties, but if he starts magically banging them in I'll be pissed off. At least he'll be heading back if he does.

Even if he doesn't work as hard, would surely have to be a better right wing option than Kuyt?
He's better than Kuyt.
True, but besides the point. It's YET ANOTHER player who very obviously isn't quite of the class you want in a title-challenging side that Rafa specialises in chasing. Aaron Lennon's the next Babel/Bellamy/Pennant/Kromkamp/Arbeloa/Dossena/Keane/Kuyt/Lucas (I could go on).

Yeah, even the rumours have been not a patch on August, have ended up doing some work today, I never did that in the summer

Can't even remember what the sell-on clause was but I'd be highly shocked if the **** Lorraine Rogers hadn't stuck one in there...

What a disappointing deadline day as a City fan. Quaresma to Chelski though, didn't see that coming.
Another fine signing from Massimo Moratti's cheque book. I'm not sure why he couldn't settle in Italy, there as there is 6 players and plus the manager who have Portugese as their first language.

Or maybe it is the player, couldn't hack it at Barcelona, but goes alright in Portugal, but moves to a stronger league and goes MIA.

It's strange, because he's basically perfect for the way Mourinho sets up.

Arseshaving still not ratified by the FA. Still faintly underwhelmed by his signing, It doesn't look a typical Wenger deal. £12-17m (depending on which source you believe) is a lot for a largely unproven, if youthful looking, 27 YO.

Would've got more onboard with Dacourt, who Fulham picked up on loan from Inter. Wenger was supposed to be an admirer when he was at Leeds & the Toffees. Not a long term option, but our need for a bit of bite in front of the back four is more pressing than our need for more creativity.

T*ttenham tho? What is going on? Signed back three players deemed surplus less than 12 months ago. What a club.

Sky Sports News reckons the Prem has spent more in window than rest of Yurp put together. **** the pound, **** the credit crunch, we still rule. It's official. :cool:

Yeah that is a good signing for Fulham, they have done well there.

And they tried to get rid of their second coming, Dos Santos. Always made me laugh when he joined Spurs and their fans were going ape.

If he was any good, why would Barca sell and why would he join Spurs?

At least they got rid of Kevin-Prince Boateng. :laugh:

Would be magical if they went down.

Hodgson has done a good job. Top bloke.

Shame that Bullard was so intent on leaving though, especially as his only concern was financial reward and couldn’t care less about what club he ended up at.
