Transfer deadline day deals worth talking about

Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 31, 2010 | No Comments

The transfer window shut at 6pm this evening and there were a number of deals that went through on a fairly dramatic deadline day.

Asamoah Gyan joined Sunderland for a fee believed to be around £13 million. If the Ghana striker plays like he did at this summer’s World Cup in South Africa, he should prove a decent signing for Steve Bruce.

Eidur Gudjohnsen, Jermaine Pennant, Marc Wilson and Salif Diao all moved to Stoke City. A mixed bunch really with Gudjohnsen no doubt the pick of the four signings for Tony Pulis.

Robinho left Manchester City to sign for Italian giants AC Milan. It is understood that Milan coughed up £22 million for the Brazilian international. In some ways, I’m actually quite sad to see Robinho leave the Premier League.

Birmingham signed a few players today including Aleksandar Hleb on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona. Martin Jiranek also moved to St Andrews from Russian side Spartak Moscow. Birmingham also brought Jean Beausejour in from Mexican side Club America on a very busy day for Aloex McLeish.

Rafael Van Der Vaart’s proposed move to Tottenham remains in the balance this evening but Harry Redknapp is confident the Real Madrid playmaker will make the switch to White Hart Lane.

So that’s it. There were a number of other deals that went through today but they weren’t worthy of a mention on Football Corner unfortunately. Feel free to leave your comments below.
