Stephen Taylor: I'm a Toon fan... Hull have signed some great players this window... Dawson... HBA... Ramirez from soton. Great business. Great ambition. Same rubbish from Newcastle as always.

Chris Adams: Chelsea for Costa and Fabregas and Remy is a proven PL goalscorer so is great back-up to Costa and we can rest him whilst knowing we still have someone who can come off the bench and score, unlike last year.

Danny Toomey: Liverpool got the best bargain Mario 16m great buy, Hull City great buying, Man Utd great buys but Falcao on loan and all that money, time will tell I guess, 350k a week for a loan player!

(We're told it's a mere £265,000 Danny!)

Emma Sanders:, external Daley Blind is United's signing of the summer. He's the only one that improves one of their problems. Others are panic buys!

Jim Atkins:, external Gutted to see Welbeck sold. Rapidly developing lad who'll do well at Arsenal. Selling youth to buy ready made, not the Utd way.

Churchman Duza:, external Radamel Falcao will add bite to Utd attack, and Daley Blind,steel to the defence and midfield. Well-done LvG.

Rich Hemsley:, external In all this Falcao fuss....people have forgotten to mention Chesterfield signing Sam Clucas. Just bounce!

Midfielder Mikele Leigertwood, who has played for Crystal Palace, QPR and Reading among others, is currently a free agent. He also spoke to 5 live Breakfast and said: "I was on trial at Nottingham Forest and I got injured in pre-season so I'm not really close to a move.

More Manchester United in the Daily Express, with the focus on Radamel Falcao's hefty wage. The paper says Louis van Gaal is banking on the Colombian to fire the club back into the Champions League.

Mel Stein, chairman of the association of football agents, tells 5 live Breakfast his thoughts on Danny Welbeck's move to Arsenal: "It's nice to see at least one big club targeting and buying an English player.

"There has been an extraordinary influx yet again of foreign players and panic buying. Whatever happened to financial fair play?

"The market is so inflated at the moment, it is hard to say what is a good buy and what isn't. The shrewd managers look around for bargains and they think there are bargains abroad and that isn't necessarily so."

Manchester United dominate the back page of the Daily Mirror, with a photo of a rather stern-looking Radamel Falcao en route to Old Trafford and news of England striker Danny Welbeck's exit to Arsenal.

Here are some of your comments from the BBC Sport Facebook page, external as we ask who you think has done the best business in the transfer window:

Neil Paul Davies: Man U have Leeds United written all over them, if they don't qualify for Champions League then be ready for the Glazers to strip the club of cash assets and leave it with the remaining debt.

Luis Jude: Chelsea did it right, bringing the right players at the right time, at the right club.

Matt Burgess: Hull signed some very good value players for their budget. Ben-Arfa a great player. Also, Southampton also signed two decent players including Toby Alderweireld who has experience at the highest levels of football.

Liverpool's Raheem Sterling had to search the internet to fully understand manager Brendan Rodgers' joke about him as he had no idea who Ricky Villa or Ricky Gervais were.

Rodgers said that Sterling "dribbled through the Spurs defence like Ricky Villa, but his finish was more like Ricky Gervais!"

Sterling, who was born 13 years after Villa's iconic FA Cup final goal for Spurs and was only six when The Office, starring Gervais, first aired, said: "I typed both names in so I know what he meant now. He's joked about it and said it was like a baby's shot. He's given me a lot of stick for it but my finishing is something I'm improving on and will keep improving on."

Sheffield Eagles announce that second-row forward Matt Garside will join London Broncos at the end of the season.

British number one Andy Murray believes he is close to top form after beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-5 7-5 6-4 to reach the US Open quarter-finals.

It was his first win over a top-10 player in 14 months and he said: "I don't feel like I'm that far away from playing my best tennis. It's still obviously a long way from trying to win the tournament, but it's only nine sets now, three matches, and I'll just try and take it one set at a time."

Kevin Roberts, founding editor of Sport Business International, tells 5 live Breakfast about the record transfer window dealings: "Football is absolutely awash with money at the moment. The competition between BT Sport and Sky for the rights has resulted in a £5.5bn television deal and the benefit of being in the Premier League is so huge that, although the cost of success is huge, everybody is aware that the cost of failure is even bigger so you have got to invest in the product to be able to perform on the pitch.

"They have got the money, they are going to spend it. Financial Fair Play is the most confusing thing you will come across. In very simple terms, it's meant to get clubs to work within their financial limits. It is a complex and pretty unwieldy piece of football legislation.

"One of the things that we have seen in this transfer window, and more than any other in my experience, is the use of loans. That can be done for a number of reasons. One of them is strategic on the pitch but, critically as well, it is possible to use loans to defray expenses to help keep a club within the limits set by Uefa."
