Transfer deadline day

There was a frantic rush to sigh players last night. The big signings where definitely Robinho's move to AC Milan and Sunderland's club record signing Asamoah Gyan. Robinho suprised me the most. Not the move, I thought he would go but only on a season long loan. I was not expecting him to join on a permanent basis. Sunderland acted faster than the big teams to break the club record signing fee for the second time in three years by signing Gyan for £13M. Gyan will probably replace Cambell who has ruptured his knee ligaments and is out for at least six months. Other deals that were done last night included Stoke. They got both Gudgjohnson on a season long loan and Marc Wilson for how long I do not know. There were question marks about Carlton Cole and if he would be moving to Anfield but when Babel said he wasn't joining West Ham the move stalled and never went through. Birmingham to were busy. Bringing in ex Arsenal midfielder Hleb on a season long loan from Barcelona. And Martin Jiranek for an undisclosed fee. Overal a pretty busy last few hours of the transfer window some big money being thrown around but mostly loan deals being made.
