Transfer Deadline Blockbusters

Rafael Van der Vaart
At least he can play Champions League with Tottenham...

Well, the last day of transfer season had quite some dramas, although not really shocking. Let's just see...

• There are two big last day winners - Birmingham and Stoke. The former got Hleb, Jiranek and Beausejour who are all in their respective international squads. We all know who Hleb is, and this is such an ambitious move for the Chinese-owned club.
• As for Stoke, they have captured Gudjohnsen, Marc Wilson and Pennant. Two former Premier League players and that should be enough to make sure they stay for another season.
• Sunderland had spent a ridiculous £13m fee to get Ghana's World Cup star, Asamoah Gyan. I don't think he worth that much but given that Fraizer Campbell suffered a long-term injury in last few days, it's normal for them to be taken advantage of in terms of price.
• Robinho left City in a fee cheaper than Gyan. He will become a member of the luxurious Milan offence together with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
• Konchesky officially joined Liverpool as Insua was loaned out to Galatasary. I don't understand why Insua must be shipped out though.
• No Carlton Cole for Liverpool as West Ham couldn't find a replacement in last minute.
• Having sent to West Ham and Tottenham on helicopter, Babel decided to stay with Liverpool.
• And of course, the Van der Vaart deal which was completed just in time before the transfer window shut.

A great time for wildcard guys!
