Transfer Window Officially Closed.....

Wow....there was a lot of drama this season, especially as the transfer market hit the deadline last night.Transfer Deadline Day always throws up an intriguing mix of thrills and spills, with this year proving to be no different.
As at last night, I totally believed Robinho will be a Chelsea player this morning, but alas it was a great surprise and shock to see Man City snatch this player under Chelsea's nose, what an insult..ha ha.
Manchester City actually broke the British transfer record to snatch Brazil international Robinho for £32.4million...wow! I have to start playing football, it's never too late! Enough money!
Do you know, Chelsea on their website last week advertised a jersey for Robinho before it was withdrawn, they were so confident they will get him! How did Man City manage to get this player....I see "bad belles" at work. Chelsea fans, don't worry, you have a lot of good players, maybe next season you can steal Robinho from Man City, but for now, he is officially a Man City player.
After a long drama with Berbatov refusing to play for Spurs in their last game (or was it the manager that dropped him), Man Utd has finally signed him. So more power to the strike force of the Red Devils.
Tottenham received over £30million for the Bulgarian hit-man, of which over £20million had already been spent on Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko and Croatian full-back Vedran Corluka.Liverpool enhanced their creative options with the signing of Albert Riera from Espanyol, while city rivals Everton broke their transfer record, again, to bring in Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini. The Toffees also snapped up Louis Saha from Manchester United and Wigan's back-up keeper Carlo Nash.Plenty of action in the North East saw Newcastle take striker Xisco on a five-year deal from Primera Liga side Deportivo La Coruna and Sunderland resigned George McCartney from West Ham.It was Stoke, though, who proved to be the busiest in the market as they brought defender Danny Higginbotham back from Sunderland, young midfielder Tom Soares moved from Crystal Palace for £1.25million and Michael Tonge arrived from Sheffield United in a £2million deal.
Do you know....Fulham signed about 12 players this season and one of them is our very own; Dickson Etuhu. I hope they do something right this season.
And did I mention, SWP (Shaun Wright Phillip) is back to Man City, he was bought from Chelsea, Man City sold him to Chelsea...ha ha (I'm sure Chelsea are beating themselves, they wouldn't have sold SWP if they knew Robinho's deal will fall through..hardluck Blues).
To round off the gist about the transfer market...
Do you know ...
Hertha Berlin striker Solomon Okoronkwo has joined Russian outfit Saturn Ramenskoye.
I also heard his team mate in the just completed Olympics Sani Kaita has moved to Monaco.
All the best to these lads!
