10.36 – Before we get going on the thousands of rumours out there, let us tell you what’s actually happening…

Liverpool’s Charlie Adam is at Stoke, where he will complete a £4m move; Jermaine Jenas is set to move from Tottenham to Sunderland; Fulham have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for Clint Dempsey, but there is no guarantee that the American will go to Birmingham…

…Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has just confirmed that he wants to sign three players today; Alex Ferguson says he has no idea where Dimitar Berbatov, saying he could be at Spurs for all he knows; Rafael van der Vaart’s agent has confirmed that the Dutch international is heading back to Hamburg for a medical…

…AC Milan will confirm the signing of Nigel de Jong at some point this afternoon; Everton have agreed a deal for Copenhagen’s Bryan Oviedo…

10.45 – Twitter tells us that Liverpool have been offered Brazilian striker Leandro Damiao, a long standing Spurs target.

Swansea, meanwhile, are poised to sign Jerson Cabral, a Dutch winger, from Feyenoord.

11.07 – According to Setanta Sports, Liverpool could agree a season-long loan deal with Chelsea for Daniel Sturridge. That one has been doing the rounds for a few days.

Surely it means Chelsea are in the market for at least another striker.

11.19 – How much do you miss Harry Redknapp today?

Oddly enough, we do.

11.26 – Bad news for Swansea – Jerson Cabral has decided to stay in Holland and move to FC Twente.

Nicklas Bendtner, the best striker in the world, remember, is having a medical at Juventus.

11.30 – Amid all the hullabaloo, we neglected to mention a particular juicy rumour doing the rounds – that of Michael Essien to Arsenal. Tick tock.

11.42 – ‘This is Anfield’ reports that Alex Doni, Danny Wilson, Nathan Eccleston, Dani Pacheco, Joe Cole, Jon Flanagan and Jack Robinson are all available for either transfers or loan moves from Liverpool.

Brendan Rodgers seems determined to have the smallest squad in the Premier League.

13.01 – The Sky Sports News studio has just become a lot more orange, as Phil Brown replaces Sean Dyche in the spare chair wheeled in from the canteen.

13.14 – Fulham have signed midfielder Chris David (us neither) from FC Twente. I initially read it as this fella…

13.18 – Charlie Adam has been talking to the cameras, saying he respects Brendan Rodgers but sometimes managers come in with new ideas yadda yadda yadda…

How is that man only 26-years-old? He could be Arjen Robben’s father.

Elsewhere, Jermaine Jenas’ move to Sunderland is off, while Hugo Lloris is heading to Tottenham, according to the Lyon website. More on that as it comes in.

14.47 – Brendan Rodgers has just given a very interesting press conference, refusing to be drawn on links with Clint Dempsey, Theo Walcott or Daniel Sturridge. He pointedly refused to deny any of those moves either.

15.07 – One that slipped through: Mexican attacker Giovani dos Santos is finally leaving Spurs permanently to join Real Mallorca. Shame. He was never really given much of a chance.

16.22 – The Journal’s Hugh O’Connell contends that Yossi Benayoun could be moving back to Liverpool on loan from Chelsea.

We like not to argue with Hugh, but he’ll forgive us our scepticism.

16.57 – Swansea have completed the signing of Pablo Hernandez from Valencia. The 27-year-old winger has been capped by Spain, and joins Michu at the Liberty Stadium.

17.01 – Right, I have sat through the ad for Directline.com one time too many today. I’ll be handing over to Paul Fennessy, but you’re in the best of hands.

And where will Michael Owen end up? Stoke.

Time will tell.

17.30 – Scott Wilson pays tribute to The Magician, aka Nicklas Bendtner’s agent.

17.35 – It’s simply impossible to keep up with the comings and goings/rumours at Stoke City at the moment.

They’ve been linked with Michael Owen (hasn’t everyone at one stage or another?) along with about 100 other players.

17.47 – Swansea appear to have secured what seems to be another astute deal, with Spain winger Pablo Hernandez making the move from Valencia for £5.5 million.

Also, here’s another rumour for your amusement:

17.55 – Defender Efe Ambrose is at Celtic Park.

Meanwhile, Giovani dos Santos’ move to Real Mallorca for €1m has been confirmed.

Five more hours of the footballing equivalent of 24 remaining.

18.06 – Here is a list of every deal involving British clubs that has been confirmed today. Of Irish interest are Daryl Murphy, Stephen Quinn, Damien Delaney and Adam Rooney, who have all moved to new clubs.

18.55 – Apparently, Daniel Sturridge is on the bench for Chelsea, as they take on Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup this evening.

That’s hardly good news for Arsenal and Liverpool fans.

18.59 – More transfers have just been confirmed:

Gaston Ramirez has gone to Southampton and Efe Ambrose’s transfer to Celtic has been confirmed. Not exactly Alessandro Del Piero, is he?

19.14 – Joao Moutinho’s move to Tottenham is apparently back on again.

The amount of times the move’s been on and off must into double figures at this stage.

Meanwhile, a rather optimistic Spurs supporter suggests the club could sign Messi in the next few hours, as Sky’s reporter is interviewed at the club’s training ground.

19.33 – Roque Santa Cruz – who most people are probably unaware was still at City – has gone to Malaga.

19.37 – Richard Wright, in particular, seems like a signing of Owen Hargreaves-esque folly.

19.58 – No more transfer news to report on, but Radamel Falcao has put Atletico in the lead against Chelsea in the Super Cup.

20.08 – Very little news of any substance at the moment. Failed deals appear to be characterising this Deadline Day. For example:

20.24 – In European news, Anzhi Makhachkala have signed Lassana Diarra.

Meanwhile, Falcao has scored a second against Chelsea, prompting this tweet.

21.11 – The Chelsea horror show continues…

Meanwhile, Daniel Levy has arrived at Spurs’ training ground, perhaps in a bid to consolidate the Moutinho deal.

21.18 – BREAKING: HUGO LLORIS HAS PASSED A MEDICAL AND HAS OFFICIALLY SIGNED FOR SPURS.

Just less than two hours before the window closes now.

21.34 – Controversial – Clint Dempsey is at Spurs Lodge, according to Sky Sports News.

Do Tottenham have time to sign him in the next hour and a half?

21.40 – Yet another City signing has just been confirmed.

The player is a young Serbian defender, and so, inevitably, has been described as “the new Vidic”.

22.12 – Yossi Benayoun is on his way back to West Ham on loan, as Sam Allardyce continues his tendency to buy players who seem past their peak.

The question remains: will be an Okocha or a Jardel (i.e. a success or an utter failure).

22.51 – Good riddance? Joey Barton’s loan move to Marseilles has been completed.

22.58 – This just in from Michael Owen:

23.02 – The transfer window has now officially closed…

23.54 – Alright, that’s it from me for tonight. Thanks for reading and commenting.

It’s been as frantic a deadline day as usual with some clubs seemingly doing better business (Tottenham) than others (Liverpool). However, we’ll have to wait until the end of season to make a definitive judgement on the various deals that have been concluded tonight.

Anyway, good night!
