11:30pm: No confirmation of Falcao or Welbeck deals yet folks but we’re going to leave it there assuming that they’re going to happen, as sources close to both deals appear to believe will be the case. Thanks to the aforementioned Falcao and Welbeck amongst others it’s been one of the more interesting deadline days, but we’ll leave you with what we all know was the highlight.

7:04pm: Done Deal: Hull City have signed Mohamed Diame from West Ham, Diame trying manfully not to be scared by the giant tiger in the background.
NEW SIGNING: We are delighted to announce the signing of Mohamed Diamé from @whufc_official #UTT pic.twitter.com/II6ZkDot6P — Hull City Official (@HullCity) September 1, 2014
6:58pm: We don’t know where Robbie got his information on this one, but we strongly suspect he might be just trolling Arsenal fans…
Huntelaar to arsenal ? — Robbie Savage (@RobbieSavage8) September 1, 2014
6:49pm: Seriously on Falcao though, the numbers involved are pretty eye-opening. According to The Telegraph, he’ll earn £346,000 a week, which, combined with a £6million loan fee, will mean he’ll end up costing United around £24 million for one season. A spicy meatball indeed.
6:44pm: Try to stay calm folks, but RADAMEL FALCAO’S CAR HAS ARRIVED AT CARRINGTON. And what a nice car it is.
6:40pm: Joey Barton sums it up better than we ever could…

6:24pm: Guardian reporting that Leicester City are now sniffing around Jermaine Defoe which must be very disconcerting for the player. Robbie Savage has noticed the Redknapp incident and he’s either laughing or has some kind of bizarre Twitter stammer, a Twammer if you will:
Hahaha Harry didn’t stop !! #fail — Robbie Savage (@RobbieSavage8) September 1, 2014
6:13pm: SSN now telling us that Danny Welbeck is having a medical at Arsenal. It’s all happening.
6:10pm: History is made as Harry Redknapp refuses to stop for the Sky cameras and give one of his famous car window interviews. Maybe Harry thought Gary Cotterill was from the revenue. Michael Owen has just had his say on Falcao joining United, but nobody could make it to the end of his sentence without the eyes glazing over and going to their happy place. Five hours remaining and the pace is certainly picking up. Hundreds of United fans now reportedly at Carrington hoping to catch a glimpse of Falcao as he arrives for his medical.
6.02pm: Reports in Portugal are saying Arsenal have put in a late bid for William Carvalho, but it was not enough to tempt Sporting to sell. It seems Arsenal slept in today, but have woken and have gone to work.

Have a lovely day / night and enjoy the last hours of the transfer window football fans … It will be interesting till the last minute. — Petr Cech (@PetrCech) September 1, 2014
5:07pm: Great news for Hamburg fans in that Lewis Holtby from Spurs has passed his medical and is set to sign for the German club. Hamburg fans read this, right?
5.05pm: SSN’s James Cooper says that Radamel Falcao is only minutes away from arriving at Manchester United’s training complex at Carrington for his medical. Five hours to go lads. Strap in folks, there are still tons of things going to happen and not happen.

4:49pm: SSN reporting that John Arne Riise has signed for Cypriot club Apoel Nicosia. No fee mentioned. Maybe there wasn’t one. Maybe John Arne Riise signs for whoever he wants and on his terms. Maybe he loves Cillian Sheridan.
4:46pm: Atletico Madrid announce the signing of Italian striker Alessio Cerci from Torino following a successful medical.
4:44pm: There is only half an hour to go in the Bundesliga transfer window say the BBC and Hamburg are putting Lewis Holtby through the fastest medical in history. He has just broken Usain Bolt’s 100m world record on the treadmill with little wires attached to his chest and stuff.
4:39pm: Jim White has arrived at SSN and of course he’s underplaying it. Now, the window begins!

3:57: Burnley having a busy day with BBC reporting that they’ve signed Nathaniel Chalobah from Chelsea on loan, however both clubs seem a bit confused. Chelsea have wished the player well for his season-long loan, but Burnley have said it’s only till January. There must have been misinterpretations of Northern English and Cockney.
3:54: Andy Hunter from the Guardian giving an update on Borini says that Liverpool have accepted a £10m bid from QPR for the player.
3:52: The Guardian’s Daniel Taylor reckons there’s a potential hitch with the Diego Capel from Sporting Lisbon to Southampton move:

3:32: Another Irishman on the move? Looks like Owen Garvan could be on his way to Bolton from Crystal Palace according to the Guardian.
3:22: BBC reporting that QPR in discussions with Liverpool for the signing of Fabio Borini. I bet Sunderland are chuffed.

Look at how thrilled Andy Delort is to sign for Wigan: pic.twitter.com/WobT61POcM — Tom Coast (@thcoast) September 1, 2014
3:00: Mirror say that Jermain Defoe’s move to QPR us being held up over his £90,000-a-week wage demand. We’ll let that sink in for a while…
2:56: Aston Villa could be about to get a whole lot sexier as the Sky Sports News bod has just said that the club have bid for Real Sociedad’s Sergio Canales. We like Canales a lot. Would be a great bit of business for Villa if they can pull it off.
2:53: And because we love him so much, here is what Yanik Wildschut looks like, from his Heerenveen days. 
2:48: Odds on Scott Sinclair moving to Stoke from Man City gone from 33/1 to 1/2. Who bets of Scott Sinclair’s future?
2:41: Footballer name of the day goes to new Middlesbrough signing Yanic Wildschut. We have no idea if the winger is any good, but he has the sort of name we’d love to shout at the top of our voice if he played for our club.
2:38: Everton have done a deal, signing Anderlecht striker David Henen. Talk that Everton might do another loan deal before the end of the day 2:32: According to the Beeb, Virgil Van Dijk is not leaving Celtic. Great news for Bhoys fans
2:22: More Irish rumours. Richard Dunne is being pursued by Burnley…
2:20: According to the Guardian, Valentin Roberge is to leave Sunderland for Reims while Newcastle’s Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa could be off to Roma. We’re pretty sure we have never seen either of those lads ever kick a ball.
2:15: Gary Hooper to Palace? So say the Mirror. Wonder would that scupper Kevin Doyle’s hopes of getting a gig at Selhurst Park?
2:08: Latest person to head to the Old Trafford exit? Nick Powell to Leicester, according to Sky Sports.
2:04: If you have switched on Sky Sports News by now you will have seen that all the correspondents are wearing yellow ties for the day. Our own Paul McShane is not a fan.
@SkySportsNewsHQ yellow tie wankers! — Paul McShane (@pmacca15) September 1, 2014
1.58: By the way, expect one of the most drawn out deals of the day to be Jay Rodriguez to Spurs. Currently off but I predict you will have someone on SSN shouting ‘THE DEAL IS BACK ON’ at some point tonight. Andros Townsend might be going the other way.
1.53: Deal of the day, hands down. Zenit St Petersburg and AVB have signed Bart Simspon. 
No, we have no clue what is going on either
1.46: According to the BBC, the most wanted man in football today is… Matija Nastasic. Yes the City defender is available on loan and Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle, Juve and Marseille want to take him off Manuel Pellegrini’s hands.
1.44: Speaking of Shay Given, check out the pictures of him at Ireland training today. In other goalkeeper news, the folks on Sky Sports have said that Chelsea’s Petr Cech will not be joining PSG.
1.35: It is time we address Arsenal fans. After a less than stellar show at Leicester City yesterday, Gooners woke up hoping that another striker, and a centre back or defensive midfielder, would be headed to the club. The only news so far today regarding Arsenal is as follows; a) They have been linked to Jermain Defoe b) Well-informed BBC journo David Ornstein reckons there will be no business done at Arsenal today c) Arsene Wenger is on his way to Rome to referee a charity match All of the above add up to a lot of grumpy Gunners this lunchtime.
1.29: DONE DEAL
BREAKING: Javier Hernandez joins Real Madrid on a season-long loan. Real have first buying option on the striker at the end of the loan. — Manchester United (@ManUtd) September 1, 2014
1:23: So, what are those Irish player rumours that will keep us amused for the next 1o hours or so? Well, the biggie is the rumour that Kevin Doyle could be back in the Premier League, going on loan to Crystal Palace from Wolves. That’d be great news if true. The other surrounds Shay Given. The keeper was asked at Ireland training this morning was he staying at Aston Villa and he said he was open to moving. One to watch.
1.17: Welcome to our live coverage of Transfer Deadline Day. The twice a year jamboree can occasionally disappoint but this summer’s edition is off to an absolute flyer. Here is what has happened so far; Radamel Falcao has joined Manchester United on loan, once he passes a medical later today Shane Duffy has joined Blackburn from Everton James McArthur is joining Crystal Palace from Wigan George Boyd has joined Burnley from Hull Micah Richards is set to join Fiorentina Javier Hernandez is in Madrid ahead of a loan move to Real Loads more rumours flying around, including a few Irish players too.
