According to a reliable news source in Portugal (TSF), the Moutinho deal is dead and he will stay at Porto. Apparently there was never an agreement between Tottenham and FC Porto (Spurs offered 28M, Porto wanted 32M to include the Pini Zahavi fee).

And thus ends the most frustrating transfer window I can ever remember. Not a disaster by any stretch but we could have, and should have, done so much more.

Roll on January.

We've just signed Martin Taylor from Watford. Centre back. Probably better known for his stints at Blackburn and Birmingham. He was the player who was involved in the incident when Eduardo broke his ankle a few years back.

Very solid signing.

Liverpool and Arsenal needed strikers. Chelsea and City needed midfielders/defenders. United needed a midfielder. No team has sufficiently strengthened the areas they needed to imo.

Spurs have probably done the best business of the window.

Lol. I actually don't care anymore, media know jack shit, no one does. Everyone is saying something different, even people ITK get wrong info lol. I'm pissed we sold vdV for Dempsey. Actually pissed.

FootyGAF meet up would be class.

Didn't know Dempsey was 29. Quite disappointed they've plumped for him over Moutinho.

We haven't. We are still trying for Moutinho but the agent fee is the sticking point.

Chelsea needed a backup striker and defenders didn't get any
Arsenal needed defensive covers and dm - no1 bought
Spurs didn't replace Modric
City were not lacking so they r still equally strong as compared to last yr

We bought kagawa and RVP but no CM but if clev god and Carrick click we will be set.

Hopefully Barkley goes out on loan to your club. He just needs to start playing competitive games.

Yup, pretty afraid of Spurs, but their midfield is sorta thin as well.

He's not going anywhere. Who would take him considering his wages?

Wish I could pull a FIFA and just drop all this damn dead weight and just pay whatever fee's it takes to cancel someone's contract. In all reality, I have no idea how stuff like that actually works.

Looks like this is his official page (or fan page)? http://javigarciafas.tk/ Quite a few entries about him being in Manchester and all the goings on. The automatic translation of Google Chrome doesn't seem to be working well with it due to frames, but I plugged a few into the manual translation.

"I wanted to wish the best to my brother Javi García in its new stage in England. You deserve the best always, ace. A kiss, "wrote Capel."

The Benfica midfielder, Javi Garcia, already in Manchester to perform a medical before signing for English champions City.

The Spanish 25 years, hired for the position of Nigel de Jong, was in Manchester `s Hospital Bridgewater before signing the bond yields to Benfica € 20 million, plus performance bonuses.

Giroud and Podolski? I don't think City needed anyone to be honest. Chelsea has plenty of defenders, but they could've signed a new DM/CM surely.

Liverpool lack of strikers and Manchester Utd lack of DM are the most incredible ones.

No we don't need strikers and Giroud will come good. No problem there.

Midfield is where we will struggle, especially if Diaby gets injured. Sagna cannot return fast enough for us...

I asked Marwood what he thought of his performance this transfer window. The picture I got told me all I need to know.

Podolski will probably play out wide for you. Chamakh and Park aren't good enough either. Giroud could come good but imo Arsenal haven't done enough to replace RVP.

Haven't signed a Song replacement either.
