European Football: Transfer Window Deadline Day Wrap

Hey football fanatics, welcome to a wrap of Deadline Day.

Winter shopping is now well and truly over across Europe, and there was to be some late drama on D-Day with Robbie Keane literally running out of Tottenham's training ground when the window in England shut at 5pm, across the border to Glasgow where he was snapped up on loan by Celtic, where the window was open till midnight. An interesting decision by Spurs, showing more than a little faith in Roman Pavlyuchenko and new loan signing veteran Eidur Gudjohnsen. I wonder though which of the aforementioned two will get called off the bench first for a 7 minute run at the end of games!

Moments before the Keane drama started, Adam Johnson's move from Middlesbrough to Manchester City for a reported initial fee of £6 million had barely gone through, just in the nick of time, making the young winger the most expensive signing of the winter. Shows just how bad times are in England this season. Portsmouth have managed to raise a little more cash, selling talented 22-year old goalkeeper Asmir Begovic to Stoke for a fee rumoured to be £3.25 million. They've lost their best defender and a great young goalie, they look odds on favourites to go down, and with the squad that's now left, will struggle to find their way back up.

A rumour about a £20 million move for Argentine international Fernando Gago from Real Madrid to Manchester City looked to be on the cards for most of the evening, but apparently fell through at the last moment. Some reports indicate an inability to agree personal terms, others state it was all balderdash from the start with Gago nowhere near City for a medical, so what transfer!

It had otherwise been a really, really slow day, with the top stories involving Nicky Shorey, Benni McCarthy and Alan Hutton in England, and Mancini swapping his Milan colours in Europe. West Ham did some business too, having picked up the strikers they so desperately needed with Mido and Ilan now officially Londoners.

juventus_out.jpgOn a night that will be remembered for a refreshingly aggressive display from Bayern Munich that saw the German giants demolish Juventus in their own backyard, Michael Owen almost nicked the headlines from them with an outstanding hat-trick interestingly in Germany! CSKA Moscow also made it to the last 16, helped along the way by Manchester United's win over VFL Wolfsburg, while 16-time champions between them, Real Madrid and AC Milan, also cruised to the knockout stages riding on the back of a win and a draw respectively.

Juventus' meeting with Bayern Munich was easily the most awaited game of the night with one of the heavyweights sure to crash out of the tournament at the end of the day. Hosts Juventus had
