Revolving Doors: Deadline Day LIVE!!

Transfer Table: All the moves in one easy helping!

This is how the day's events unfolded.

00:48: That just about wraps things up for this summer's transfer window. So, no David Villa, Andrei Arshavin or Mario Gomez, but Robinho's move to City will go down as one of the most dramatic transfers in deadline day history. And with Berbatov's move to United confirmed, it's been a day to remember.

00:30: There it is! Confirmation that Spurs have reached agreement with Manchester United over the permanent signing of Dimitar Berbatov for a fee of £30.75m. Part of that agreement stipulates that Spurs will not pursue its official complaint over United's pursuit of the player. And Fraizer Campbell has gone the other way on loan.


00:20: Here's confirmation that Xisco has signed for Newcastle from Deportivo La Coruna on a five-year deal.

00:15: City boss Mark Hughes: "I am absolutely delighted to get the opportunity to work with such an incredible talent like Robinho. I have said that in order to compete with the best teams in the Premier League we have to be in the market for players of this calibre, and Robinho is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world. I am really looking forward to introducing him to the rest of the squad, and to the City fans at the earliest opportunity. This is a real statement of intent as to the ambitions of Manchester City."


00:05: Still no word on Berbatov.

00:04: Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has confirmed the Spanish giants have sold Robinho to Manchester City for 42 million euros (£34.19m).

00:00: Hear that? That's the sound of the transfer window slamming shut. Clearly there's still deals to report, Berbatov's being the main one yet to be completed, but for all intents and purposes that's it.


23:56: A few tits bits just minutes before the window shuts - Martin Cranie has moved from Portsmouth to Charlton on loan but it looks like Hull City have missed out on luring Fraizer Campbell to the KC Stadium.

23:38: Berbatov is still deep inside the bowels of Old Trafford and no deal has been announced so far. Actually, he's in the office above the Megastore, but wherever he is with just 22 minutes remaining, he'd better get a move on.

23:31: ROBINHO IS A MANCHESTER CITY PLAYER. It's a done deal. Well, let's hope it is, or there could be scrambled egg all over RD's face.

23:30: That Ramon Calderon quote in full: "We have sold Robinho for human reasons. The fact that we have accepted an offer from Manchester City tells you that he is not going for sporting reasons." What's he trying to say.


23:22: It's all quiet on the north-eastern front so far tonight. Still no news on Newcastle's move for Nacho Gonzalez and Xisco. But Michael Owen, Joey Barton and Alan Smith seem set to stay in Toon.

23:18: With Louis Saha now departed, Berbatov will wear United's number nine shirt next season. We're just waiting for the deal to be officially announced.

23:08: Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has confirmed that the club have agreed to sell Robinho for "human and footballing reasons" but he has not, repeat not, specified who to. But it looks like it's City.

23:07: Norwich take Wigan's Antoine Sibierski on loan until the end of January.

23:00: One hour to go and it emerges that Robinho's move to Middle Eastlands could initially be a loan, so as to protect City from signing a Louis Saha-like injury casualty. That's not a bad plan considering Robinho is nowhere even near Manchester to undergo a medical tonight. Rumour has it he's in Brazil.


22:50: Manchester United striker Fraizer Campbell is increasingly looking like moving to Tottenham as part of the Berbatov deal.

22:49: All round nice-guy Joey Barton did not want to leave Newcastle because he "owes the club and the fans so much". And who said loyalty was dead? A model professional, that Joseph.
