Transfer deadline day - 2nd February 2009

I really don't like transfer deadline day. The little remaining optimism I have for the season can be shattered in the next 2 hours depending on what exactly happens.

So far, we know that:

Muffs has gone to Barnsley on loan - fair enough, he's out of contract at the end of the season, but it would have been nice to have got a fee for him.

Roy Hodgson has agreed to keep the Show Pony on loan for the rest of the season - good business for us to save his wages, assuming that's the way it's working.

The Gunner is staying - as his facebook status tells us he's off to Iceland on holiday, presumably to recuperate, so he won't be signing for anyone. So that's why mums go to Iceland...

And McPake has joined, which means we need a nickname for him.

It's rumoured that:

Fox is signing for Newcastle for £1.6m - poor business, bad timing and not enough money if this is true

Vivienne is having a medical at Newcastle - no fee yet mentioned - also poor business, he's saving us points at the moment, we'll be looking over our shoulders again if he goes.

Time will tell, roll on 5pm
