Assembling this week's column has been a difficult undertaking. The transfer deadline arrives
imminently and, at time of writing, there are still so many issues to settle. Circumstances alter
at light speed and that's going to feel like a gentle cruise compared to what this evening will
bring. Even for someone like me that has an allergy to transfer speculation (I used to refer to it
as ‘speculitis' but that sounds like an unfortunate ailment one might catch at a mate's stag do)
last season's deadline day had the feel of watching someone nervously clipping wires on a time
bomb.

Cardiff City has signed forward Craig Bellamy from Liverpool on a two-year contract.

pursuit of Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner on the deadline day, slammed Berbatov for poorly
communicating his decision to Fiorentina.
One of the most prolonged transfer sagas of the year finally came to an end today when São
