Transfer deadline

Maybe not the big sums of money spent this time around than in the past, mind you the majority of the signings were 'undisclosed' - how annoying is that? There were some interesting moves though. Here are my favourite 7 transfer deals in no particular order:

1) Craig Bellamy Man City to Liverpool - Free
Bellamy's memories of his last time at Liverpool were marred by a golf club and John Arne Riise's head. Howeverhe will give the Reds great options from the bench.

2)Yossi Benayoun Chelsea to Liverpool - Loan
I've always liked Benayoun and I think he will give Arsenal a goalscoring threat from midfield. Different player to Nasri but I think he will be a success. More so than Arteta.

3) Joey Barton Newcastle to QPR - Free
Watch the fireworks fly between Warnock and Barton if this goes wrong. Barton though has a lot to prove and with SWP, Luke Young and Armand Traore he adds vital experience to a team that looked certs for relegation the other week.

4) Scott Parker West Ham to Tottenham - £5m
A snip at 5 mill. Parker would have been in one of the top 6's teams now if it wasn't for that ill-advised move from Charlton to Chelsea to sit in their reserves and some bad injuries.

5) Peter Crouch Tottenham to Stoke - £12m
A break through signing for Stoke. Hopefully they just fling long balls to him, because that is not what he is best at but if I was a Stoke fan, and I know a few, then I'd be chuffed with Crouchy.

6) Owen Hargreaves Unattached to Man City - Free
Did City do this just to piss off Man Utd? A fully fit Hargreaves would be an England regular, but will he ever be the same player again?

7) Bryan Ruiz Twente to Fulham - £10.6m
Ruiz has scored goals wherever he has played. He is a good build and fit and could just be right for the Premiership.

Please check the Daily Telegraph website for an updated player list and I endeavour to include one in next week's email.
