"The trials and tribulations of Transfer Deadline Day - it's well worth it!"
Post update
Owen Coyle
Football Focus
"This day puts a lot of people under pressure, particularly smaller clubs. And there's huge pressure in the Premier League, a rush to get things in place for the end of the window."
On Twitter, there were more than 1.6m references to transfer deadline day on Friday 31 January (up to 23:00 GMT).
The most mentioned players were:
1. Kim Kallstrom
2. Yevhen Konoplyanka
3. Julian Draxler
4. Dimitar Berbatov
5. Kurt Zouma
Interestingly, two of those five didn't go through in the end...
Post update
Martin Keown
Football Focus
"Kim Kallstrom will come into the Arsenal midfield. It's a temporary signing, but the front of the Gunners team is still a problem. It's a gamble, though we trust in Arsene Wenger. There is no big worry, but compare what Man City have and the forward line is still a problem for Arsenal."
Ethan: I will guarantee that Konoplyanka will move to another Premier League club in the summer. Just do the deals Liverpool, and get them done.
Andrew: So instead of Arsenal signing a striker that they so desperately need, they've gone and loaned one out to Watford for the rest of the season! Classic Arsene Wenger transfer logic.
Valencia confusion
We were all a bit surprised that Valencia signed Philippe Senderos earlier on this evening. But perhaps Valencia's tweet welcoming him to the club but showing a picture of Brede Hangeland may explain it all.
Mistaken identity...?

Martin Keown
Football Focus
"Tom Ince is at Palace and I feel he's a real talent. I'm surprised a lot of the bigger clubs haven't gone for him - I expect him to go from strength-to-strength now. He'll be a breath of fresh air for them now, as Palace look like they're getting themselves out of trouble."
A late one has gone through, a move of sorts, as Razvan Rat has been released from West Ham by mutual consent. The Romanian left-back has been reasonably heavily involved this year so it's a bit of a strange one. He does free up a place in the squad though.
"Liverpool had a deal agreed with Yevhen Konoplyanka - the player wanted to come to Liverpool. In the end it didn't happen because the owner of the Ukrainian club refused to sign the relevant paperwork."

Palace latest
Danny Murphy
Football Focus
"The five players Palace have signed today are all British, and all known to the manager. They will certainly be able to hit the ground running."
New Palace winger Tom Ince on 5 live Sport: "It's never nice to leave a club like Blackpool, who have done ever so well for me. I had three fantastic years there, but when an opportunity like this comes around... as soon as I met Tony Pulis and Steve Parish at Palace it felt like the right thing for me. I'm very happy.
"I spoke to Tony and it's amazing how well Tony has done there since he came in, and he said to me I was someone he needs, someone who can run at people and create some magic in the final third. Steve has worked hard behind the scenes to get me to Palace and I'm grateful for that.
"I had a gut feeling - Palace was for me and I'm going to be happy to play in a Palace shirt."
BreakingDONE DEAL
Joe Ledley to Crystal Palace
And Crystal Palace's fine deadline day concludes with confirmation that they have signed Joe Ledley from Celtic on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
Stephen Dobbie has also moved to Blackpool on loan until the end of the season.
Paul Ince on BBC radio 5 live: "I feel like [Crystal Palace chairman] Steve Parish is my wife, the amount of time I've spent with him today but we got there in the end.
"Other clubs wanted a permanent deal but we felt that wasn't right - we wanted to take a loan deal and see what the options are at the end of the season.
"Steve Parish has been fantastic and I'd like to thank Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston because he's played a massive part in getting this over the line.
"The only ones who could take Thomas were Palace and Swansea. I had a good conversation with [Swansea chairman] Huw Jenkins but we felt that Tony Pulis sold the club to Thomas and that he'd be part of the club and play games. He'll have that opportunity to show what he can do under Tony Pulis."
Middlesbrough latest
Peterborough confirm that they have accepted a bid from Middlesbrough for forward Lee Tomlin but the clubs must wait and see if the deal went through before the deadline.

Thomas Ince to Crystal Palace
Thomas Ince has confirmed that he has joined Crystal Palace on loan from Blackpool until the end of the season.

Thomas Ince is on BBC Radio 5 live - that should clear up where he has gone...
Liverpool latest
David Pleat
Former Tottenham manager on 5 live Sport
"I saw Liverpool beat Everton the other day - they played superbly well. I don't think it's a tragedy that they did not sign this eastern European winger today. No-one knew him that well, and any foreign player is a bit of a gamble. They would have paid good money for him as well. I don't think it's a tragedy for Liverpool - they've got a good, settled squad at the moment. If I was Liverpool gunning for the top four I wouldn't worry."
We are still waiting for Crystal Palace to confirm that they have indeed signed both Joe Ledley and Thomas Ince before the deadline, while Middlesbrough hope to land forward Lee Tomlin from Peterborough.

"What I'm trying to establish is whether Liverpool have submitted their deal sheet, which has to have gone to the Premier League by now if they have any chance of signing Yevhen Konoplyanka today. The club have been saying nothing and as yet no-one knows whether this has got over the line."
Jonathan Legard on Crystal Palace transfers: "Joe Ledley is done. Tom Ince is done and therefore Stephen Dobbie goes the other way."

They were terribly short of strikers weren't they. but QPR have got another one in on time! West Ham's Modibo Maiga joins fellow deadline day signings Will Keane and Kevin Doyle at the club, as well as Charlie Austin, Andy Johnson, Bobby Zamora and Dellatorre.
Reporters and football experts from the BBC Sport Centre have been in place all day and will bring you up-to-date with all the transfers that have happened.
Post update
BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis
"It's important to stress that although the window has closed there is still a drip-drip effect that deals can still be announced. I must stress that because Yevhen Konoplyanka is an international deal Liverpool have an extra hour to file the paperwork. But there's still no word from Liverpool.
"Graham Dorrans didn't join Middlesbrough from West Brom - the Baggies pulled the plug right at the end.
"And QPR are still hopefully of that Modibo Maiga deal on loan from West Ham."

"Newcastle fans might have been concerned that Papiss Cisse had been linked with a late move to Cardiff, but he's going nowhere. He's staying put - they couldn't have afforded to lose him."
Philip Beard, chief executive of QPR, on 5 live Sport: "We're in the process of sorting Modibo Maiga before the deadline. You get a bit of leeway with the timings with a loanee, and we're confident we can get it sorted. If you ask most clubs their priority going in to the window, people who can score goals are at a premium. We had identified that as an issue and that was magnified massively last weekend when Charlie Austin damaged his shoulder. He's out for certainly a few months.
"Will Keane is coming to us on loan from Manchester United. Harry Redknapp is a fantastic manager of young talent. Look at what happened with Andros Townsend, who performed at a high level when he was here and then became one of the top international players last season."

"Graham Dorrans is also a target. West Brom may have pulled the plug on this one at the last minute. If that's true - and it looks increasingly like it is - it's still possible Boro will turn their attention to Lee Tomlin from Peterborough.
"If either join, Marvin Emnes will go to Swansea. If neither join, Aitor Karanka will have a big decision to make about allowing him to leave."
Everton done
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty
"Everton have confirmed there will be no more dealings tonight. They were trying to get a midfield player in but it hasn't happened. It would have been a bonus. There are areas of the squad that are a bit thin but they seem happy with what they've got."
Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston on 5 live Sport: "I've left the ground and our poor secretary is sitting in his cold office waiting for various faxes. He will call me if anything gets concluded.
"We were open-minded to start with regarding Tom Ince, then we've become minded to seek a permanent deal. The player wants to go on loan and play in the Premier League, and we understand that.
"I think the transfer window, various aspects are a bit pointless. We all whip ourselves into a frenzy on the last day when we could have done our business weeks ago.
"We'd agreed after Paul Ince left that Tom could go out on loan. It's no secret that various clubs have been spoken to.
"We're working on bringing Stephen Dobbie the other way from Crystal Palace. This one has been one of the most protracted things I've been involved in in 15 years in football. I won't be surprised if we have a last-minute hitch.
"But Palace have been around asking questions for months, so I'll be pleased if they land their man. It'll be great to see him in the Premier League."

Arsenal have completed the signing of Sweden midfielder Kim Kallstrom on loan until the end of the season from Russian club Spartak Moscow:
Kris Smith: He has international pedigree and is a good, experienced head in a young midfield. Not a stellar signing by any means, but is a real world signing in a real world game.
"Clubs will get experts to read your scan, but the expert might not be available. Sometimes the guy will be in London or in Sweden whose expertise is a specific part of the body, and the clubs will only deal with them, they will only listen to certain people.
"Sometimes clubs will do the medical, find a problem, then renegotiate the contract. Instead of a three-year contract, two years with a third based on appearances. That can be the way of nicking a little more money back."
So which deals could still happen before the end of the window in just over an hour?
Liverpool remain keen on signing Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka.
Fulham want to sign Johnny Heitinga from Everton as well as two young players from Manchester United.
Swansea could sign Marvin Emnes, Stoke remain keen on Jonathan Pitroipa, Thomas Ince has to sign for someone and Crystal Palace are in the hunt for Joe Ledley as well.

"Blackpool wanted a loan deal for Tom Ince, but we were unable to do that. We were unable to secure the purchase, so that won't happen.
"Jonathan Pitroipa of French club Stade Rennais is a late possibility now, the only player we're still trying to bring in. Then that would be that, with nobody leaving."

Federico Macheda to Birmingham

Manchester United striker Federico Macheda has joined Birmingham City on loan until the end of the season. Tom Thorpe and Tyler Blackett did the same earlier today.

What is going on at Leeds?

Crazy goings on at Elland Road then.
It was reported earlier this afternoon that Massimo Cellino, the owner of Italian club Cagliari, was close to an agreement to buy a stake in Leeds, believed to be about 75%.
Before that, managing director David Haigh had announced on Thursday that his consortium's bid for the club had collapsed because of a lack of funds.
The Elland Road club is currently - as far as we know - owned by Dubai-based investment group GFH Capital.
Cellino had been reported to be keen to replace manager Brian McDermott with former Middlesbrough defender Gianluca Festa.
And speaking to Radio Leeds on Friday, McDermott admitted he was not sure if he would be in charge of the club beyond their Championship derby against Huddersfield Town.
"I've got no idea if I'll be here after Saturday's match. In football any game could be your last match so you have to make the most of it, especially at a club like Leeds United," he said.
As it turns out McDermott didn't even make it to Saturday's game. Festa the answer?

"Everybody knows Brian McDermott's qualities. He's a fantastic manager and a friend of mine, a great man. It's sad that Leeds United conduct their business like that."
"Brian McDermott is no longer the manager of Leeds United. It's incredible for a manager to lose his job on Deadline Day, something which we've never really heard of before. Had the situation become untenable for him there?"
Jonny Mahoney: Sacking the manager the day before a big Yorkshire derby? More sound logic from Leeds.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "Kim Kallstrom is a hugely-experienced player. He is a midfielder with proven quality at both club and international level. We welcome Kim to Arsenal."
Kallstrom said: "Arsenal is an amazing club with a lot of great players and a coach who has done really well here for a long time. I am so pleased to come here to learn as much as possible. I'm here to do my best for Arsenal and to help out the team, so we can achieve good results for the last part of the season."

"There are so many complexities involved in each and every transfer. The Cattermole move is fraught with danger - he's now returning to Sunderland, a club that pretty much told him today he was surplus to requirements. He will now return to that dressing room and the manager Gus Poyet will have to deal with that."
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup, who has already signed David N'Gog from Bolton this week, is clearly a fan of Championship strikers because BBC World Service's Steve Crossman reports that the Welsh side have asked to loan Middlesbrough forward Marvin Emnes until the end of the season.
Emnes was previously on loan at the Liberty Stadium in 2010.

Thomas Ince latest
Juliette Ferrington
BBC Sport
"Just on Tom Ince, it's incredible. Two clubs were given permission to speak to him about a loan move, which was Swansea and Crystal Palace. Stoke wanted a permanent move, but the player wants a loan move and to keep his options open.
"But Blackpool won't be bullied and I believe they're now in favour of a permanent transfer, bearing in mind Ince's contract is up at the end of the season. Half an hour ago, there was no progress whatsoever, It could be Tom Ince ends up back at Bloomfield Road tonight."
"It's now just a matter of Arsenal announcing that Kallstrom is joining them for the remainder of the season. He's very experienced and it's just being processed now. But they're not sure whether he will be able to face Crystal Palace at the weekend. Will there be any more movement at Emirates? Unlikely."
BBC World Service's Steve Crossman reports: In Kim Kallstrom, Arsenal are getting a player I wish had left Lyon for the Premier League nearly four years ago.
In April 2010 his Champions League season ended at the semi-final stage after defeat to Bayern Munich.
Along with Miralem Pjanic, who went on to star for AS Roma, he had been an important figure in the success of a Lyon side which had earlier ousted Manuel Pellegrini's Real Madrid over two legs.
He's mobile, he can play anywhere across the midfield and he takes a mean free kick.
I'd expect him to slot effortlessly into the Arsenal side but at 31, his best years are clearly behind him.

"Liverpool were up until the early hours last night trying to arrange the transfer details, but the owner just does not want to sell. Remember, they are a few hours ahead of us in Ukraine. But Yevhen Konoplyanka is such a talented player."
This is not a transfer story for deadline day, more one for the summer. It's still interesting though, because rumours that Barcelona are back in talks with Victor Valdes regarding a new contract have been denied by the Spanish champions.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper, who has spent his entire career with the club, was rumoured to have re-started negotiations about continuing his career at Camp Nou.
But Barce, who are interested in replacing him with Borussia Monchengldbach stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen (that's actually his name, not my bad typing), have denied there have been any further talks.
As it stands, Valdes will leave the club at the end of the season.

Juventus have confirmed that the loan deal "also includes the option, to be exercised before 13 May, for the purchase of the player's full registration rights at a price of 19 million euros, to be paid over the course of three years".
That deal would be worth £15.6m to Southampton and the reigning Serie A champions will pay his wages in full during the loan.

"If Inter lose a midfielder then the Hernanes deal (which should happen anyway) can then be rubber stamped and his soon to be former employers Lazio will want a new midfielder, that's where Gael Kakuta comes in.

BBC Wales report that Swansea boss Michael Laudrup says Neil Taylor will only make a transfer deadline day exit from the club if he manages to sign a replacement.

"We will only sell him if we can get a replacement," said Laudrup.
Taylor is currently in Swansea with his wife, who is due to give birth to their second child.

Kevin Doyle to QPR
BBCCopyright: BBC
And there we go - 'Arry Redknapp appears on a TV screen hanging out of a car window, and he brings news of a new striker for QPR.
Rangers have signed Kevin Doyle on loan from League One side Wolves until the end of the season.
"I like Kevin. He's a good pro and a good lad who needs to get his career up and running again," said Redknapp.
"He was a good player at Reading and my sides have played against him many times. This is a great opportunity for him. I like him a lot - he's a good player and a good person."
Come on now. The footballing world must do better! You demand it, I demand it, the hordes of players and agents after a move demand it!
But fear not. For we are fast approaching the golden hours, those last few hours before the window shuts for good on another season. What we like to call 'the panic buy window.'
There's still time to land that unnecessary sixth striker to 'bolster the squad,' that third-choice keeper on loan, that big money splurge. The domino effect can still kick in...
SEVEN HOURS TO GO
It's been an eventful transfer deadline day so far, and obviously it is far from over yet...

Wolves - why we sold Hennessey to Palace
PACopyright: PA
Here is Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey explaining why the club accepted an offer of around £3m from Crystal Palace for Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
Moxey said: "With Wayne this season, it was a similar situation to other players in the past such as Joleon Lescott whereby if we received an acceptable offer from a Premier League club we were not going to stand in his way.
"It was a case of once again proving his fitness, as he did with Yeovil, and then when the bid came in, reaching agreement with Crystal Palace.
"We are fortunate to have some excellent goalkeepers here at Wolves, with Carl Ikeme and Aaron McCarey as the senior men and some more good young goalkeepers in behind."

Striker signing?

With the bottom half of the table so congested, and the title race so compelling, everyone will be on the lookout today for a striker.
If the right man can be found for the right price, expect some movement. But is signing a striker in January a good move?
The 11 forwards signed by Premier League clubs last January managed 23 goals in 108 games between them before the end of the season.
Not bad? Maybe - until you realise that Daniel Sturridge (10 goals for Liverpool) and Loic Remy (six for QPR) scored the lion's share of those.

BBC Radio 5 live's chief football reporter Ian Dennis has his finger on the pulse, keeping you up-to-date with the latest news. We have also heard from former Chelsea defender Michael Duberry and ex-Republic of Ireland international Kevin Kilbane, getting their take on what it is like to be a player.
BBC Sport's Andy Cryer: "The clock is ticking for Crystal Palace to complete the signing of Blackburn skipper Scott Dann. Dann is in London to discuss personal terms but the two clubs are still some way apart on agreeing a fee. Blackburn will not sell the defender on the cheap."
"Transfer update: No players spotted out the window, although bizarrely this chap is carrying a hawk."
Kevin Kilbane Q&A
How influential are agents when it comes to last-minute sudden signings? Cliff B
"They're touting players around, speaking to various clubs - I'd imagine that one player can be put to several clubs throughout the league, just to see if they can keep the business going, and to generate interest in the players. All of a sudden if you put in a certain name to so many different clubs, maybe someone will bite and say "yeah, we'll take him"- and that's how it works.
"Agents are very influential now. They're the first port of call for clubs, whereas say 20 to 30 years ago, a club would go direct to another club and ask if they could negotiate a deal. Now it's always that middle-man.
"Agents have a huge part to play in football, both from the player's side and perhaps even more so from the clubs as they employ an agent to go out and recruit, even if it's not one of their own players. That's how it is now."
Everton update
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty

Kevin Kilbane Q&A
What is the most stressful part about deadline day, and why? Rian Hoskins
"I've moved twice on deadline day. The first time, I moved from Sunderland to Everton it was around the first few transfer windows. There was an offer for me from Southampton a month or two before. I thought I was going to move, but it didn't happen. Then, as the deadline day loomed, I had a call saying I was going to be going on loan to Everton. Mick McCarthy, the Sunderland manager, didn't want it going ahead - it was a permanent deal or nothing. That deal was on and off probably six or seven times that day and I didn't think it would eventually go through. I had to sign via fax at Sunderland as I couldn't do the mileage down to Everton to do the deal.
"It can be quite stressful for families as well. You think about who's moving a player on and where he's coming from but everyone has wives, girlfriends and children. Do you then have to re-direct your children to a different school? It can be quite difficult."

Kevin Kilbane Q&A
Is the World Cup influencing transfers? Udeme Bassey
"I think it is. We see it now with Nikica Jelavic - the first thing he said is he wants to be playing first-team football and that's why he moved to Hull until the end of the season. He's probably going to a good club with a good manager, but that's not the issue. He's thinking I want to play in the World Cup and I want to have played 15-20 games at the end of the season going into that World Cup. Certainly this time of the year a player would push through a move simply with that in mind."

"Rodgers says: 'If we improve the group in this window then great. If not, I'm happy to go with what we've got.'"
Kevin Kilbane Q&A
Do you think Fifa and Uefa should stop big teams like Chelsea and Man City buying more players when they've already got a big squad in this transfer window? Hits Joshi
"I think we know the facts of the Financial Fair Play rules but it's more about the intricacies of it and how clubs manipulate the rules. We can see that clubs are blatantly bending those rules so we may get to a point in two or three years' time when it becomes more of an issue. I think the way football is now and the way the transfer deadline itself is creating huge interest, it's all good for the game.
"Ultimately I think we'll always see that the big clubs with the biggest financial power are always going to be making the big signings because they can, unless something can be done to regulate it. Football clubs can't continue to overspend year after year after year because we're going to see more of them going to the wall - it has that knock on-effect through the leagues."
"Transfer update: A car just parked outside. If it belongs to a player he is probably in our price range."

We've been putting your Twitter questions on deadline day to former Everton and Sunderland winger Kevin Kilbane. Check out his answers:
Do you think it has been a good or bad transfer window? Luco Carter
"I think at this time of the year I can't say it's ever going to be a great transfer window. For the top clubs, the ones challenging for the lead, it's just one or two players that can make the difference. You look at United and Juan Mata and it suddenly looks a bit rosier for United.
"You see the other teams in and around them signing players who might make a difference, even looking as far down as, say, Hull City, who bring in two strikers. So if you look throughout the league, I think probably most clubs will say they're happy.
"I think in general we're seeing one or two smaller-scale deals going through at clubs which will help in their quest to stay in the Premier League or qualify for the Champions League and European football."

Hello and welcome to the transfer deadline day party. I am your host for the next couple of hours and, by the looks of things, it is just getting started. From Monaco to Manchester City, and Liverpool too, some of the richest clubs in Europe looking to flash their cash before the window slams shut.
Arsenal fans are no doubt delighted to be involved this year too, although I am not sure they will be so thrilled when they learn the deal that Arsene Wenger is trying to push through is for a 31-year-old Spartak Moscow midfielder on loan, not to buy Julian Draxler for £40m.
It's time for me to hand over to Chris Bevan now. He's ready and primed to talk you through the afternoon's transfer news.

Manchester United's £37.1m signing of Juan Mata remains the biggest deal of the January transfer window, and Reds manager David Moyes is delighted with his recent acquisition.
"He's everything I thought he was," Moyes said in his news conference. "He's a terrific footballer, he's been a really good lad to work with. He's settled in very well, very quickly. He played well in the game, which was important because we needed somebody who could come into the team and make a difference straight away.
"He knows the Premier League. But it's never that easy. I'm slightly wary that we need to give him time to settle in and not expect too much too soon. I was certainly pleased with his first game."

"I think he fired a shot across the bows of the Palace directors earlier this week when he said he needed some new faces, but his problem is that he has done so well, the owners are probably thinking we don't need any new signings.
"He is getting his players to play above themselves but that can only last for so long and Pulis will know that he can only keep going back to the well for so long before it runs dry.
"He also knows exactly what it takes to stay up and he will be pressing hard to get what he needs on Friday."

"Fulham's interest in Liam Moore has cooled and Pearson has no desire to sell the highly-rated defender. So unless the London club make a ludicrously big last-minute bid, the sort of which no club can turn down. And way, way in excess of what has been mooted so far - then he will be staying put."

Premier League spending 2014
News from football finance experts Deloitte now. Before the start of business this morning, Premier League clubs had spent around £95m on new players during this transfer window, £10m more than this time last year.
On the final day of the window in January 2013, Premier League clubs spent £25m. However much they spend in the next 12-and-a-bit hours - and it promises to be a lot more than that - the combined transfer spend of English top-flight clubs this season has already passed the £700m mark for the first time, with spending currently at a cool £725m.
The agent's view
Nobody enjoys Transfer Deadline Day more than football agents. Hawking players around like Del Boy on Peckham market, agents can make millions of pounds from a few phone calls.
That's the perception, anyway. But is it the reality?
"Forgive me for sniggering, but for those people who believe that agents get their money for doing very little then perhaps they should spend a couple of days with me to see what I have to do in order to get a deal over the line," agent Raymond Sparkes told BBC Scotland.
Interestingly, Sparkes describes the January transfer window as "dramatic and unnecessary", offering "nuisance value" for unsettled players.

Lawro on Tottenham: "I cannot see Tottenham signing anybody on transfer deadline day. In fact you could argue Tim Sherwood has got too many players and should look to sell or loan out a couple.

"That way they can let Joleon Lescott go. Matija Nastasic has been a little bit indifferent this season and I just do not think Martin Demichelis is good enough."

Swansea latest
PACopyright: PA
BBC Sport's Luke Reddy: "Swansea are intent on doing business on deadline day. Last week, the Welsh side enquired about Norwich winger Anthony Pilkington and a wide man remains their primary target. We also understand Harry Redknapp will be as busy as ever on transfer deadline day, with new faces imminent at QPR."
The madness of Deadline Day
"There is a man on my telly standing outside The Den in a suit speaking fast and portentously without full stops or commas and with lots of superlatives.
"I'm scared because there is also a clock counting down in the bottom right-hand corner, so something important must be about to happen like the arrival of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, but it turns out Shaun Batt has joined Leyton Orient from Millwall instead. On loan."
The phenomena of Deadline Day is madness, says our very own Ben Dirs. Of course it is, especially when, as Dirs points out, the windows "were introduced in 2002-03 in part to stabilise the game."
They certainly haven't achieved that, but we do now at least get two opportunities a year to wait for Harry Redknapp's car window to wind down.
Don't believe the hype
Owen Bradley, BBC Radio Derby sports reporter: "Expecting a quiet day at Derby County, who wrapped up their January dealings with the signing of George Thorne from West Brom on Thursday. Steve McClaren is much more likely to try and bring a defender in once the emergency loan window opens.
"To the relief of Derby fans, the Will Hughes hype seems to have calmed down. It would be a real surprise if the talented midfielder left the club before the window closes."
Where will Ince end up?
We are hearing that Blackpool's Tom Ince and his advisor/father are not interested in a permanent move anywhere at this stage and are trying to push through a loan move.
However, it is understood that with Ince out of contract in the summer, Blackpool are only interested in a permanent deal.
Crystal Palace and Swansea were the only two teams given official permission to talk to Ince last week but the Welsh club have since withdrawn their interest. Several other clubs - including Stoke - have also been linked with him.
Ince has not trained with Blackpool all week and it is my no means certain a deal will be done today. Could he end up back at the club that recently sacked his father?

Ramsey out for 4-6 weeks

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is currently doing a news conference, where he has confirmed that midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out for six weeks. As a result, the Gunners boss says he would like to bring in one player during the course of the day - but it won't be Julian Draxler. The Frenchman added that he would like to "scrap" the winter transfer window because 80% of activity tends to happen on the final day.
Savage on team-mates: "The biggest worry I had about moving clubs was meeting my new team-mates. I was an idiot on the pitch at times and then when I walked into the new dressing room it was like the first day at school. Where can I sit? Who have I upset? Where is my locker?"
Meanwhile in Spain...
In case you missed it amid all the transfer news, an interesting story played out in Spain last night when Racing Santander's players forced the abandonment of their Copa del Rey quarter-final against Real Sociedad by refusing to play because they had not been paid.
When the second leg kicked off, the Santander players huddled together on the edge of the centre circle and would not challenge for the ball.
The protest is expected to cost Santander their place in the competition, although Sociedad had already won the first leg 3-1.

Lawro on Luke Shaw: "Southampton left-back Luke Shaw is in demand but I don't see it being a problem for the Saints if he does get sold before the window shuts.
"Even if he signs for Chelsea, Manchester United or whoever, then he will probably be loaned back to St Mary's until the end of the season.
"If anything, that would be perfect for Shaw too because he will have his big move and it will be up to him when he is going to go."

"Celtic have accepted an offer from Crystal Palace for their Welsh international midfielder Joe Ledley and are hopeful of completing the signing of Leigh Griffiths from Wolves.
"Ledley had been offered a new deal at Celtic, with his current contract running out this summer, but so far hasn't signed.
"Celtic would prefer to sell now than allow him to run down his contract. The Scottish champions have submitted a third offer for Griffiths and, all going well, the striker will be in Glasgow for a medical today.
"Celtic have been frustrated in a number of other attempts to sign players this month, with clubs reluctant to sell at this time."
Lawro's Verdict

Lawro on Tom Ince: "I can understand why Tom Ince did not fancy a move to Cardiff in the summer. His partner was due to give birth, and it was probably the wrong time for him to think about the next step in his career.
"Now is the right time. He has been talking to a few Premier League clubs this week and I think he is being clever by just going on loan to one of them. If he chooses one where he will get a lot of playing time, then at the end of the season he can probably have the pick of some teams higher.
"Good luck to him. He is not afraid to gamble, and he is backing himself to do well without committing himself because a lot of the teams in for him are involved in the relegation struggle.
"It is refreshing to see a young player see the bigger picture. He is a talented player and his dad Paul will give him very sound advice too."
Football agent and sports lawyer Xabi de Beristain Humphrey: "The top players, such as Porto's Fernando, will have a number of offers being put to them. The agents will be weighing up how the financial packages work, which can be very complicated.
"Sometimes players just have a gut instinct, and can take a lesser offer to join their favoured club.
"The figure often cited in the press for a transfer figure is not always the full story. Other payments can take place on top, and deals such as friendly matches can be provided."
Savage Says

BBC pundit and former Premier League enforcer Robbie Savage has spilled the beans on what a transfer move is really like for players.
Savage on wages: "I was on £1m a year at Birmingham and I knew Blackburn and Everton both wanted me. As a player you are a wanted man and that is a great bargaining position. Start high and see what your agent can get you.
"At Blackburn I asked for £30k a week and ended up with £25k. It's lottery numbers, I was running around my house when I got off the phone. You can't believe it."

Would you be happy with that one, West Ham fans [08:25]? It sounds as though Big Sam might be splashing a bit of cash during the course of the day.
"West Ham are close to completing a deadline day deal for Napoli defender Pablo Armero.
"The loan deal would provide cover for defender Joey O'Brien, who dislocated his shoulder against Chelsea this week and is likely to be out for the rest of the season.
"But West Ham have moved quickly for the 27-year-old Colombian, who has won 49 caps, as his replacement and he is expected in London today."
The view from Europe
BBC World Service Sport's John Bennett: "The French newspaper l'Equipe are predicting that Serie A club Napoli will renew their interest in Tottenham's midfielder Etienne Capoue today.
"Capoue has been telling the newspaper that being out of the Spurs team could harm his chances of making France's World Cup squad.
"The 25-year-old has only made 14 appearances for Spurs this season."

Lawro on Liverpool: "Liverpool have been linked with Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka, who plays for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. I have seen him a few times and he is not bad at all. Over the last couple of years he has looked really good when he has played for his country. I would be more worried about how he settles into English football and in England because from Sergei Rebrov to Andriy Shevchenko, not many players have come over from Ukraine and done well in the Premier League. Look at Andriy Voronin, who was at Anfield from 2007 to 2010, and struggled too.
"If Liverpool are paying £15m-plus for Konoplyanka, it represents a bit of a gamble but everybody is different. If they get the player we see playing for Ukraine and Dnipro then great - but I just hope he settles in."

"Manchester City's move for Mangala and Fernando - with fees expected to be in the region of £35m if the deals can be done in time - underlines their financial clout.
"With no significant departures expected from the Etihad today the transfers would push the club's overall wage bill even higher.
"Club accounts revealed this week that City paid out £233m in salaries in 2012/13. Broken down that works out at £19.4m per month or £639,000 per day or £26,600 an hour or £443 a minute."

"Manchester City are understandably cagey about their deadline day activity, especially as Paris St-Germain are very interested in Porto's defender Eliaquim Mangala.
"But make no mistake, he is a player they want and the quicker the better to head off competition elsewhere. If he comes in this might allow Joleon Lescott to move out on loan. Porto team-mate Fernando is also right on City's radar.
"Everton manager Roberto Martinez insisted it would be a quiet day but he has moved for Sparta Prague's teenage keeper Jindrich Stanek and will also consider bringing in a midfield player on loan. It is the start of a long day."

Yobo checks in at Carrow Road
How about you, Norwich fans? Expecting much business? Your side has completed the loan signing of Joseph Yobo from Turkish club Fenerbahce until the end of the season. Can Chris Hughton add to that acquisition during the course of the day?
From Luke Shaw to Fernando Torres, via Thomas Ince and Javier Pastore, the BBC Radio 5 live 606 blog has been collecting some of your predictions for what should be a very busy day indeed.
Step one is find the fax machine, but there are some other key points for clubs to lock down.
He said: "If a player doesn't want to play for you, the best you can do is get the best price for the club. A classic example was when I sold Rio Ferdinand at Leeds. He returned from the 2002 World Cup and came into my office on his first day back and said he wanted to go to Manchester United.
"Once we knew he was going, the cat and mouse game is how much can you get for him. Ultimately we got £30m. It was difficult. Once you know the player is going and where he wants to go to, how do you push the price up so the other club don't say 'we know he's coming to us so we'll keep the price depressed'? But we managed to get them from an initial bid of £18m to up to £30m so it was a job well done."

"Transfer deadline day just wouldn't be the same without Arsenal making a late foray into the market. The Gunners have been linked with a loan move for Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic, while across north London Tottenham are open to the possibility of letting midfielder Lewis Holtby leave, most likely on loan.
"Reports suggest he could join Fulham in a deal that would see striker Dimitar Berbatov go in the opposite direction and rejoin his former club. Staying in the capital, Crystal Palace are working to sign a goalkeeper and centre-back - the latter could be Ivan Ramis if the Wigan defender lowers his wage demands. If the right opportunity arises for the Eagles to sign a striker, they are also ready to do that."

I must admit, I'm very surprised Arsenal haven't gone for a big-name striker considering the undoubted impact Mesut Ozil's arrival had on the club. And now they have been overtaken at the top of the table by Manchester City, you sense it might take something special for them to reclaim first place from Manuel Pellegrini's men. Thoughts?
Lawro's January shopping list
Back at Christmas, we asked Lawro for his Premier League shopping list - who needed who, and why?
A month on, many of the deals have been struck, but there are some clubs who have not made much of an inroad into the market yet.
Arsenal - they need a striker. Lawro said: "Why not try to go for it in January and try to get whoever they are looking at in then? They undoubtedly have the money and the worst case scenario is that if the new man does not settle in straight away then he will be ready by next August rather than trying to settle in then."
Everton - "They clearly do not need any drastic surgery to their squad but they could do with another striker."
Man City - "Their squad looks very strong in every area apart from centre-back where they have problems whenever Vincent Kompany is injured.
"Martin Demichelis has not convinced me and it is clear the manager Manuel Pellegrini does not fancy Joleon Lescott much either."

"The Hammers are trying to hijack Fulham's attempts to sign the Greek striker Konstandinos Mitroglou. The Olympiakos player underwent the first part of his medical with Fulham yesterday and further tests are planned today before an £11m deal is completed.
"But West Ham remain determined to add a striker, as well as a defender, to their squad before tonight's deadline.
"And they are now exploring the possibility of pinching Mitroglou from under Fulham's noses. St Etienne striker Max Gradel is another target."

BBC pundit and former Premier League enforcer Robbie Savage has spilled the beans on what a transfer move is really like for players.
Savage on moving clubs: "The medical can last two days. Scans, x-rays, blood tests, it's real rigorous stuff. Clubs want to know you are in tip-top condition and it's a real relief when you pass it.
"Moving is a huge thing in your family's life. Will your wife like it there? Will she make new friends? It's easy for the player, you're lucky to have the routine. Your wife can be left in the house knowing nobody. When I moved to Derby my wife refused to move, she stayed in the North West."

I always wonder what transfer deadline day is like for football managers. Harry Redknapp might not be the obvious centre of attention today, but I bet he was up before the milkman this morning - walking the dog and plotting his first car door interview of the day.

What to expect
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty
"The last day of the January window rarely has the bank-busting moves of August as most of the big deals are already done - but there will still be clubs deciding whether to add to the squad in the final hours.
"Everton may move if John Heitinga goes while Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini could strengthen in central defence, with Porto's Eliaquim Mangala a potential target. If this happens then will Joleon Lescott be allowed out on loan?
"Can Liverpool - and maybe even Manchester United - get late moves over the line?
"And of course the biggest question of all. Will Spurs chairman Daniel Levy actually be able to resist his usual late dabble in the market, especially after that heavy home defeat to Manchester City?"
What's in there today? Well, the Daily Mirror reports that West Ham are attempting to hijack Fulham's capture of Kostas Mitroglou in a move which would see Dimitar Berbatov remain at Craven Cottage. I can just imagine Big Sam waiting in arrivals at Heathrow and bundling the striker into the back of a van.
Manchester United manager David Moyes is eyeing up a move for Spurs winger Andros Townsend, according to the Sun, and the Daily Mail have gone with the line that Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has entered the race to sign Cagliari and Italy defender Davide Astori, 27.
What to expect
BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis
"I think we could be in for a busier day than we anticipated at the start of the window.
"Spurs are still looking for a striker, and there are still whispers suggesting the possibility of Manchester United attempting to do one late deal.
"Those fighting relegation will also be busy - the Stoke interest in Lee Cattermole could mean Sunderland add to the arrival of Ignacio Scocco."

"Leaders Juventus are in talks to sign Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo on loan.

"And although It's looking relatively quiet in Spain, "Marca" are one of several papers reporting that title challengers Atletico Madrid are trying to sign promising midfielder Angel Correa from Argentine club San Lorenzo."
No Draxler for Arsenal
BBC Sport's David Ornstein
"Arsenal will not be signing Julian Draxler from Schalke after deciding they are unwilling to meet the German club's asking price.
"The Gunners were interested in bringing the 20-year-old Germany attacking midfielder to Emirates Stadium this transfer window, but they have decided against proceeding with the move.
"Schalke reportedly wanted around 45m euros for Draxler but the Arsenal board and manager Arsene Wenger had a lower valuation.
"The only deal Arsenal are understood to be considering before the Friday 23:00 GMT deadline is the acquisition of a player on loan until the end of the season."

Transfer deadline day
It's better than Christmas Day for football fans. You get an early night the day before, possibly even book the day itself off work.
Then you wait.
You wait for the presents your chairman bestows on your club, you wait for other clubs to come and plunder your rivals' star player, and you wait for the clock to tick over to 11pm. Then we all, as one, take a deep breath and lie down.
But until the transfer window closes, it's going to be lively. Things could move quicker than Usain Bolt nipping out for his Friday night chippy tea. And that's fast, believe me.

"Kim Kallstrom will come into the Arsenal midfield. It's a temporary signing, but the front of the Gunners team is still a problem. It's a gamble, though we trust in Arsene Wenger. There is no big worry, but compare what Man City have and the forward line is still a problem for Arsenal."

Ethan: I will guarantee that Konoplyanka will move to another Premier League club in the summer. Just do the deals Liverpool, and get them done.
Andrew: So instead of Arsenal signing a striker that they so desperately need, they've gone and loaned one out to Watford for the rest of the season! Classic Arsene Wenger transfer logic.
Valencia confusion
We were all a bit surprised that Valencia signed Philippe Senderos earlier on this evening. But perhaps Valencia's tweet welcoming him to the club but showing a picture of Brede Hangeland may explain it all.
Mistaken identity...?

"Tom Ince is at Palace and I feel he's a real talent. I'm surprised a lot of the bigger clubs haven't gone for him - I expect him to go from strength-to-strength now. He'll be a breath of fresh air for them now, as Palace look like they're getting themselves out of trouble."

Rat released
A late one has gone through, a move of sorts, as Razvan Rat has been released from West Ham by mutual consent. The Romanian left-back has been reasonably heavily involved this year so it's a bit of a strange one. He does free up a place in the squad though.
Liverpool update
BBC Sport's Ben Smith
"Liverpool had a deal agreed with Yevhen Konoplyanka - the player wanted to come to Liverpool. In the end it didn't happen because the owner of the Ukrainian club refused to sign the relevant paperwork."

Enjoy Football Focus: Deadline Day Special on BBC One.
Ince on Ince
Crystal Palace
New Palace winger Tom Ince on 5 live Sport: "It's never nice to leave a club like Blackpool, who have done ever so well for me. I had three fantastic years there, but when an opportunity like this comes around... as soon as I met Tony Pulis and Steve Parish at Palace it felt like the right thing for me. I'm very happy.
"I spoke to Tony and it's amazing how well Tony has done there since he came in, and he said to me I was someone he needs, someone who can run at people and create some magic in the final third. Steve has worked hard behind the scenes to get me to Palace and I'm grateful for that.
"I had a gut feeling - Palace was for me and I'm going to be happy to play in a Palace shirt."
BreakingDONE DEAL
Joe Ledley to Crystal Palace
And Crystal Palace's fine deadline day concludes with confirmation that they have signed Joe Ledley from Celtic on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
Stephen Dobbie has also moved to Blackpool on loan until the end of the season.
Ince on Ince
BBC Radio 5 live
Paul Ince on BBC radio 5 live: "I feel like [Crystal Palace chairman] Steve Parish is my wife, the amount of time I've spent with him today but we got there in the end.
"Other clubs wanted a permanent deal but we felt that wasn't right - we wanted to take a loan deal and see what the options are at the end of the season.
"Steve Parish has been fantastic and I'd like to thank Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston because he's played a massive part in getting this over the line.
"The only ones who could take Thomas were Palace and Swansea. I had a good conversation with [Swansea chairman] Huw Jenkins but we felt that Tony Pulis sold the club to Thomas and that he'd be part of the club and play games. He'll have that opportunity to show what he can do under Tony Pulis."

Peterborough confirm that they have accepted a bid from Middlesbrough for forward Lee Tomlin but the clubs must wait and see if the deal went through before the deadline.

Former Tottenham manager on 5 live Sport
"I saw Liverpool beat Everton the other day - they played superbly well. I don't think it's a tragedy that they did not sign this eastern European winger today. No-one knew him that well, and any foreign player is a bit of a gamble. They would have paid good money for him as well. I don't think it's a tragedy for Liverpool - they've got a good, settled squad at the moment. If I was Liverpool gunning for the top four I wouldn't worry."

Philip Beard, chief executive of QPR, on 5 live Sport: "We're in the process of sorting Modibo Maiga before the deadline. You get a bit of leeway with the timings with a loanee, and we're confident we can get it sorted. If you ask most clubs their priority going in to the window, people who can score goals are at a premium. We had identified that as an issue and that was magnified massively last weekend when Charlie Austin damaged his shoulder. He's out for certainly a few months.

"If either join, Marvin Emnes will go to Swansea. If neither join, Aitor Karanka will have a big decision to make about allowing him to leave."

"We were open-minded to start with regarding Tom Ince, then we've become minded to seek a permanent deal. The player wants to go on loan and play in the Premier League, and we understand that.
"I think the transfer window, various aspects are a bit pointless. We all whip ourselves into a frenzy on the last day when we could have done our business weeks ago.
"We'd agreed after Paul Ince left that Tom could go out on loan. It's no secret that various clubs have been spoken to.
"We're working on bringing Stephen Dobbie the other way from Crystal Palace. This one has been one of the most protracted things I've been involved in in 15 years in football. I won't be surprised if we have a last-minute hitch.
"But Palace have been around asking questions for months, so I'll be pleased if they land their man. It'll be great to see him in the Premier League."

I don't know what's happened at Leeds, but for me if a new owner came in and told me someone was sitting next to me on the bench... well, I wouldn't have it.
"The Leeds fans are quite right to be up in arms. There has been such turmoil, but I think that's down to the things behind the scenes. That can't have helped Brian McDermott.
"There are no doubts that Brian would have had Leeds up there, fighting for the promotion places."

THREE HOURS TO GO
Three hours left of the transfer window then. Any more for any more?
What is going on at Leeds?
Crazy goings on at Elland Road then.
It was reported earlier this afternoon that Massimo Cellino, the owner of Italian club Cagliari, was close to an agreement to buy a stake in Leeds, believed to be about 75%.
Before that, managing director David Haigh had announced on Thursday that his consortium's bid for the club had collapsed because of a lack of funds.
The Elland Road club is currently - as far as we know - owned by Dubai-based investment group GFH Capital.
Cellino had been reported to be keen to replace manager Brian McDermott with former Middlesbrough defender Gianluca Festa.
And speaking to Radio Leeds on Friday, McDermott admitted he was not sure if he would be in charge of the club beyond their Championship derby against Huddersfield Town.
"I've got no idea if I'll be here after Saturday's match. In football any game could be your last match so you have to make the most of it, especially at a club like Leeds United," he said.
As it turns out McDermott didn't even make it to Saturday's game. Festa the answer?

Arsenal
BBC World Service's Steve Crossman reports: In Kim Kallstrom, Arsenal are getting a player I wish had left Lyon for the Premier League nearly four years ago.
In April 2010 his Champions League season ended at the semi-final stage after defeat to Bayern Munich.
Along with Miralem Pjanic, who went on to star for AS Roma, he had been an important figure in the success of a Lyon side which had earlier ousted Manuel Pellegrini's Real Madrid over two legs.
He's mobile, he can play anywhere across the midfield and he takes a mean free kick.
I'd expect him to slot effortlessly into the Arsenal side but at 31, his best years are clearly behind him.

No deal for Valdes
This is not a transfer story for deadline day, more one for the summer. It's still interesting though, because rumours that Barcelona are back in talks with Victor Valdes regarding a new contract have been denied by the Spanish champions.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper, who has spent his entire career with the club, was rumoured to have re-started negotiations about continuing his career at Camp Nou.
But Barce, who are interested in replacing him with Borussia Monchengldbach stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen (that's actually his name, not my bad typing), have denied there have been any further talks.
As it stands, Valdes will leave the club at the end of the season.

I can't imagine new West Brom boss Pepe Mel knows a huge amount about him but he's a proven midfielder.
Liverpool latest
Liverpool
BBC Sport's Andy Swiss at Anfield: "Brendan Rodgers said in his press conference earlier on today that the transfer of Yevhen Konoplyanka is a little bit complicated. But the winger is a talented player, a Ukrainian international who played against England recently and scored a stunning goal at Wembley. And he can play on either flank, so he's very versatile.
"Liverpool fans will want to see a player arrive - some of them are frustrated at a lack of activity in this transfer window."
Osvaldo update
Southampton
Southampton's purchase of Dani Osvaldo hasn't exactly gone to plan, but at least they are not losing money on the volatile Italian.
Juventus have confirmed that the loan deal "also includes the option, to be exercised before 13 May, for the purchase of the player's full registration rights at a price of 19 million euros, to be paid over the course of three years".
That deal would be worth £15.6m to Southampton and the reigning Serie A champions will pay his wages in full during the loan.
That is good business, you have to say...
Post update
BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis
"There haven't been any big-money deals today, though there have been loan deals aplenty. Liverpool's pursuit of Yevhen Konoplyanka could go down to the wire - the Dnipro owner is not keen to sell.

Real or no Real

Fulham latest
Fulham
Craven Cottage is the place to be this afternoon. Press Association Sport understands that Fulham are hoping to bring in at least three more signings before the deadline.
Netherlands international John Heitinga is currently finalising a move from Everton, while Manchester United youngsters Larnell Cole and Ryan Tunnicliffe appear close to signing.
Not going down without a fight...
European latest
Zenit Saint Petersburg have signed Venezuelan striker Jose Salomon Rondon from fellow Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan.
He is the first black player to sign for Zenit since their biggest fans group said this in an open letter in December 2012:
"The absence of black Zenit players is just an important tradition that underlines the team's identity and nothing more."
He joins fellow black players Axel Witsel and Hulk at the four times Russian champions.
The new Cantona...?
Fulham
Ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll , who now plays for Olympiakos, believes Fulham have made a great signing in their purchase of Greece striker Konstantinos Mitroglou for about £11m.
In fact, he may just be a cult icon in the making.
"I've known him for two years at Olympiakos and he has played at the highest level in the Champions League and scored a lot of goals for us there," Carroll told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He has been the top goalscorer in Greece for the last two years. He is 26 and hungry and passionate about his football.
"Eric Cantona was a great, great player, one of the best but Konstantinos is very strong. I remember watching Cantona on television and he was holding the ball up and that's the type of player Konstantinos is."

Speaking on 5 live Drive: "Despite all the hype, there have not been many major-money deals, especially after City decided against signing that Porto pair. Liverpool are still waiting on the Yevhen Konoplyanka signing, while Fulham's capture of Kostas Mitroglou remains the biggest deal of the day so far."

Bjorn Sigurdarson to Molde
Wolves manager Kenny Jackett has already got rid of Kevin Doyle and Wayne Hennessey today, and Leigh Griffiths could also be off, but that hasn't stopped him from sending out another first-teamer on loan.
Striker Bjorn Sigurdarson has joined Norwegian side Molde on loan for a year, with Jackett saying: "He feels that the football will suit him better than in England and in particular League One."

Man City latest
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty
on 5 live Drive: "Manuel Pellegrini hinted earlier today that there may be some business, potentially the biggest deals of the day, at Manchester City. But it appears now that price tags are prohibitive and City don't feel any urgency to sign players and they don't need to add to their squad. So I suspect business is done for the day at City."

Swansea latest
Swansea City
BBC Wales report that Swansea boss Michael Laudrup says Neil Taylor will only make a transfer deadline day exit from the club if he manages to sign a replacement.
The 24-year-old Welsh international full-back has struggled to hold down a regular place in Laudrup's side since returning from injury, due to the emergence of Ben Davies. The Swans have rejected a bid from Fulham for him previously.
"We will only sell him if we can get a replacement," said Laudrup.
Taylor is currently in Swansea with his wife, who is due to give birth to their second child.
His agent says West Ham have made an enquiry about Taylor and Fulham are believed to have made a second bid.
Meanwhile, Swansea have signed Falkirk midfielder Jay Fulton on a two-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Moxey said: "With Wayne this season, it was a similar situation to other players in the past such as Joleon Lescott whereby if we received an acceptable offer from a Premier League club we were not going to stand in his way.
"It was a case of once again proving his fitness, as he did with Yeovil, and then when the bid came in, reaching agreement with Crystal Palace.
"We are fortunate to have some excellent goalkeepers here at Wolves, with Carl Ikeme and Aaron McCarey as the senior men and some more good young goalkeepers in behind."

Striker signing?
With the bottom half of the table so congested, and the title race so compelling, everyone will be on the lookout today for a striker.
If the right man can be found for the right price, expect some movement. But is signing a striker in January a good move?
The 11 forwards signed by Premier League clubs last January managed 23 goals in 108 games between them before the end of the season.
Not bad? Maybe - until you realise that Daniel Sturridge (10 goals for Liverpool) and Loic Remy (six for QPR) scored the lion's share of those.

Kevin Kilbane Q&A
How influential are agents when it comes to last-minute sudden signings? Cliff B
"They're touting players around, speaking to various clubs - I'd imagine that one player can be put to several clubs throughout the league, just to see if they can keep the business going, and to generate interest in the players. All of a sudden if you put in a certain name to so many different clubs, maybe someone will bite and say "yeah, we'll take him"- and that's how it works.
"Agents are very influential now. They're the first port of call for clubs, whereas say 20 to 30 years ago, a club would go direct to another club and ask if they could negotiate a deal. Now it's always that middle-man.
"Agents have a huge part to play in football, both from the player's side and perhaps even more so from the clubs as they employ an agent to go out and recruit, even if it's not one of their own players. That's how it is now."
Everton update

What is the most stressful part about deadline day, and why? Rian Hoskins
"I've moved twice on deadline day. The first time, I moved from Sunderland to Everton it was around the first few transfer windows. There was an offer for me from Southampton a month or two before. I thought I was going to move, but it didn't happen. Then, as the deadline day loomed, I had a call saying I was going to be going on loan to Everton. Mick McCarthy, the Sunderland manager, didn't want it going ahead - it was a permanent deal or nothing. That deal was on and off probably six or seven times that day and I didn't think it would eventually go through. I had to sign via fax at Sunderland as I couldn't do the mileage down to Everton to do the deal.
"It can be quite stressful for families as well. You think about who's moving a player on and where he's coming from but everyone has wives, girlfriends and children. Do you then have to re-direct your children to a different school? It can be quite difficult."

Is the World Cup influencing transfers? Udeme Bassey
"I think it is. We see it now with Nikica Jelavic - the first thing he said is he wants to be playing first-team football and that's why he moved to Hull until the end of the season. He's probably going to a good club with a good manager, but that's not the issue. He's thinking I want to play in the World Cup and I want to have played 15-20 games at the end of the season going into that World Cup. Certainly this time of the year a player would push through a move simply with that in mind."

"Rodgers says: 'If we improve the group in this window then great. If not, I'm happy to go with what we've got.'"
Kevin Kilbane Q&A
Do you think Fifa and Uefa should stop big teams like Chelsea and Man City buying more players when they've already got a big squad in this transfer window? Hits Joshi
"I think we know the facts of the Financial Fair Play rules but it's more about the intricacies of it and how clubs manipulate the rules. We can see that clubs are blatantly bending those rules so we may get to a point in two or three years' time when it becomes more of an issue. I think the way football is now and the way the transfer deadline itself is creating huge interest, it's all good for the game.
"Ultimately I think we'll always see that the big clubs with the biggest financial power are always going to be making the big signings because they can, unless something can be done to regulate it. Football clubs can't continue to overspend year after year after year because we're going to see more of them going to the wall - it has that knock on-effect through the leagues."

We've been putting your Twitter questions on deadline day to former Everton and Sunderland winger Kevin Kilbane. Check out his answers:
Do you think it has been a good or bad transfer window? Luco Carter
"I think at this time of the year I can't say it's ever going to be a great transfer window. For the top clubs, the ones challenging for the lead, it's just one or two players that can make the difference. You look at United and Juan Mata and it suddenly looks a bit rosier for United.
"You see the other teams in and around them signing players who might make a difference, even looking as far down as, say, Hull City, who bring in two strikers. So if you look throughout the league, I think probably most clubs will say they're happy.
"I think in general we're seeing one or two smaller-scale deals going through at clubs which will help in their quest to stay in the Premier League or qualify for the Champions League and European football."

Kim Kallstrom update
BBC Sport's David Ornstein
"Kim Kallstrom is in London to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms ahead of his proposed loan move to Arsenal from Spartak Moscow. The Gunners are very unlikely to make any other signings before the window shuts."
Lawro's Verdict
Lawro on West Brom: "West Brom have to bring someone in to replace Shane Long. If Nicolas Anelka is banned for his 'quenelle' gesture or is injured, what have they got? Saido Berahino is not a classic up through the middle man, while Matej Vydra has got great pace but he is learning the game.
"Victor Anichebe will not score enough goals. He will batter people and knock them over but he won't score."

"I understand West Bromwich Albion are still intending to try and sign a striker today, likely on a loan basis.
"Pepe Mel has prioritised bringing in a new player following Shane Long's sale earlier this month and injuries to both Nicolas Anelka and Stephane Sessegnon.

If Tony Pulis does keep Crystal Palace in the Premier League, surely he should be manager of the year?

"I think he fired a shot across the bows of the Palace directors earlier this week when he said he needed some new faces, but his problem is that he has done so well, the owners are probably thinking we don't need any new signings.
"He is getting his players to play above themselves but that can only last for so long and Pulis will know that he can only keep going back to the well for so long before it runs dry.
"He also knows exactly what it takes to stay up and he will be pressing hard to get what he needs on Friday."

BBC Sport's Owen Phillips: "Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson seems pretty certain they won't be over-active on transfer deadline day. And given their recent form - which sees them eight points clear at the top of the Championship table after eight consecutive league wins - it's easy to see why Pearson wants a quiet day.
"Fulham's interest in Liam Moore has cooled and Pearson has no desire to sell the highly-rated defender. So unless the London club make a ludicrously big last-minute bid, the sort of which no club can turn down. And way, way in excess of what has been mooted so far - then he will be staying put."

"They're also interested in Mohammed Diame from West Ham but it's unlikely the Hammers will let the midfielder go.
"There's still also a possibility that Tom Carroll will be recalled by Spurs when the Lewis Holtby deal to Fulham goes through."
Arsenal update
BBC Sport's David Ornstein
"Arsenal are working on a deal to sign Sweden midfielder Kim Kallstrom on loan from Russian club Spartak Moscow until the end of the season
"The vastly-experienced 31-year-old will provide cover for the injured Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere, with Mathieu Flamini suspended for the next three games.
"Arsenal are confident the transfer will be completed by the 23:00 GMT deadline.
"Kallstrom joined Spartak in 2012 following a six-year spell with Lyon, where he played more than 200 games and helped the French side to the Champions League semi-finals in 2012."
West Ham update
It looks like Big Sam is busy today, because he's sent Neil McDonald out to face the media. And the Hammers right-hand man has been on good form - saying they will play "21st-century football" at home to Swansea on Saturday. That, of course, is in response to Jose Mourinho's jibes in midweek.
On the transfer window, McDonald adds: "With it being deadline day, Sam is busy in the background trying to recruit players for us. We've recruited really well so far. I wouldn't rule out anybody coming into the club. Joleon Lescott is Manchester City's player and, until that changes, I cannot comment."

BBC Radio 5 live's Pat Murphy: "Aston Villa still haven't given up on signing Wes Hoolahan from Norwich City, even though they've had two bids turned down for the Republic of Ireland midfielder.
"Hoolahan, 31, wants to join his former manager Paul Lambert at Villa Park but there's been bad blood between the two clubs ever since Lambert left Carrow Road in the summer of 2012, taking key members of the backroom staff with him.
"Villa can't make any progress against a blank refusal by Norwich to negotiate over a player who's now just on the first-team fringe, valued at around £1m, but I understand they'll keep trying to land Hoolahan until time runs out."
Premier League spending 2014
News from football finance experts Deloitte now. Before the start of business this morning, Premier League clubs had spent around £95m on new players during this transfer window, £10m more than this time last year.
On the final day of the window in January 2013, Premier League clubs spent £25m. However much they spend in the next 12-and-a-bit hours - and it promises to be a lot more than that - the combined transfer spend of English top-flight clubs this season has already passed the £700m mark for the first time, with spending currently at a cool £725m.
The agent's view
Nobody enjoys Transfer Deadline Day more than football agents. Hawking players around like Del Boy on Peckham market, agents can make millions of pounds from a few phone calls.
That's the perception, anyway. But is it the reality?
"Forgive me for sniggering, but for those people who believe that agents get their money for doing very little then perhaps they should spend a couple of days with me to see what I have to do in order to get a deal over the line," agent Raymond Sparkes told BBC Scotland.
Interestingly, Sparkes describes the January transfer window as "dramatic and unnecessary", offering "nuisance value" for unsettled players.
Come on now Ray...
Lawro's Verdict
Lawro on Tottenham: "I cannot see Tottenham signing anybody on transfer deadline day. In fact you could argue Tim Sherwood has got too many players and should look to sell or loan out a couple.
"I certainly don't think he needs any more new faces to sort out. His issue is more that when all his players are fit he has got to decide who his best team is for them to kick on."

"Centre-half Hobbs was recalled by his parent club earlier this month, but Forest are still keen - despite signing another defender in Kevin Gomis on Thursday. Wigan and Reading are also said to be interested.
"And there is still a possibility of bringing in out-of-favour Tigers striker Danny Graham. The 28-year-old is way down the pecking order at the Premier League club following the recent signings of Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long.
"Forest, who came from 2-0 down to beat Watford on Thursday and are fifth in the table, have also signed Southampton defender Danny Fox and Algeria striker Rafik Djebbour in recent days."
Everton update
BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty
"Fulham's enquiry for Everton defender John Heitinga is an interesting potential deal as the Netherlands international previously decided to give West Ham United a wide berth in this window. Perhaps his fellow countryman Rene Meulensteen can succeed where Sam Allardyce failed.

"Meanwhile, Fulham hope to complete the signing of Germany midfielder Lewis Holtby on loan from Tottenham for the rest of the season and the west London club are also working on deals to recruit Manchester United midfielders Ryan Tunnicliffe and Larnell Cole, both of whom were coached by Meulensteen during his time at Old Trafford.

"Curtis comes to us highly recommended and from a well respected club," said Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara. "He is left-footed and can play as either a central defender or left back. These are areas that require cover and it was important this was addressed during the window."
Lawro's Verdict
Lawro on Manchester City:
"Manchester City are reportedly in for two Porto players - centre-back Eliaquim Mangala and midfielder Fernando as well.
"I am not sure they need another midfielder but as far as centre-backs go, I would argue they should take two and gamble on at least one of them fitting in alongside Vincent Kompany.
"That way they can let Joleon Lescott go. Matija Nastasic has been a little bit indifferent this season and I just do not think Martin Demichelis is good enough."

Swansea latest
BBC Sport's Luke Reddy: "Swansea are intent on doing business on deadline day. Last week, the Welsh side enquired about Norwich winger Anthony Pilkington and a wide man remains their primary target. We also understand Harry Redknapp will be as busy as ever on transfer deadline day, with new faces imminent at QPR."
The madness of Deadline Day
"There is a man on my telly standing outside The Den in a suit speaking fast and portentously without full stops or commas and with lots of superlatives.
"I'm scared because there is also a clock counting down in the bottom right-hand corner, so something important must be about to happen like the arrival of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, but it turns out Shaun Batt has joined Leyton Orient from Millwall instead. On loan."
The phenomena of Deadline Day is madness, says our very own Ben Dirs. Of course it is, especially when, as Dirs points out, the windows "were introduced in 2002-03 in part to stabilise the game."
They certainly haven't achieved that, but we do now at least get two opportunities a year to wait for Harry Redknapp's car window to wind down.
Don't believe the hype
Owen Bradley, BBC Radio Derby sports reporter: "Expecting a quiet day at Derby County, who wrapped up their January dealings with the signing of George Thorne from West Brom on Thursday. Steve McClaren is much more likely to try and bring a defender in once the emergency loan window opens.
"To the relief of Derby fans, the Will Hughes hype seems to have calmed down. It would be a real surprise if the talented midfielder left the club before the window closes."
Where will Ince end up?
We are hearing that Blackpool's Tom Ince and his advisor/father are not interested in a permanent move anywhere at this stage and are trying to push through a loan move.
However, it is understood that with Ince out of contract in the summer, Blackpool are only interested in a permanent deal.
Crystal Palace and Swansea were the only two teams given official permission to talk to Ince last week but the Welsh club have since withdrawn their interest. Several other clubs - including Stoke - have also been linked with him.
Ince has not trained with Blackpool all week and it is my no means certain a deal will be done today. Could he end up back at the club that recently sacked his father?

"Celtic have been frustrated in a number of other attempts to sign players this month, with clubs reluctant to sell at this time."

Lawro on Tom Ince: "I can understand why Tom Ince did not fancy a move to Cardiff in the summer. His partner was due to give birth, and it was probably the wrong time for him to think about the next step in his career.
"Now is the right time. He has been talking to a few Premier League clubs this week and I think he is being clever by just going on loan to one of them. If he chooses one where he will get a lot of playing time, then at the end of the season he can probably have the pick of some teams higher.
"Good luck to him. He is not afraid to gamble, and he is backing himself to do well without committing himself because a lot of the teams in for him are involved in the relegation struggle.
"It is refreshing to see a young player see the bigger picture. He is a talented player and his dad Paul will give him very sound advice too."

I would be more worried about how he settles into English football and in England because from Sergei Rebrov to Andriy Shevchenko, not many players have come over from Ukraine and done well in the Premier League. Look at Andriy Voronin, who was at Anfield from 2007 to 2010, and struggled too.
"If Liverpool are paying £15m-plus for Konoplyanka, it represents a bit of a gamble but everybody is different. If they get the player we see playing for Ukraine and Dnipro then great - but I just hope he settles in."

"Manchester City's move for Mangala and Fernando - with fees expected to be in the region of £35m if the deals can be done in time - underlines their financial clout.
"With no significant departures expected from the Etihad today the transfers would push the club's overall wage bill even higher.
"Club accounts revealed this week that City paid out £233m in salaries in 2012/13. Broken down that works out at £19.4m per month or £639,000 per day or £26,600 an hour or £443 a minute."

Step one is find the fax machine, but there are some other key points for clubs to lock down.
He said: "If a player doesn't want to play for you, the best you can do is get the best price for the club. A classic example was when I sold Rio Ferdinand at Leeds. He returned from the 2002 World Cup and came into my office on his first day back and said he wanted to go to Manchester United.
"Once we knew he was going, the cat and mouse game is how much can you get for him. Ultimately we got £30m. It was difficult. Once you know the player is going and where he wants to go to, how do you push the price up so the other club don't say 'we know he's coming to us so we'll keep the price depressed'? But we managed to get them from an initial bid of £18m to up to £30m so it was a job well done."

The Gunners have been linked with a loan move for Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic, while across north London Tottenham are open to the possibility of letting midfielder Lewis Holtby leave, most likely on loan.
"Reports suggest he could join Fulham in a deal that would see striker Dimitar Berbatov go in the opposite direction and rejoin his former club. Staying in the capital, Crystal Palace are working to sign a goalkeeper and centre-back - the latter could be Ivan Ramis if the Wigan defender lowers his wage demands. If the right opportunity arises for the Eagles to sign a striker, they are also ready to do that."

As for Everton, their need for fresh blood seems to have increased since both Bryan Oviedo and Romelu Lukaku picked up injuries in the last week. Surely Toffees fans will be pleased with a window as good as last August when they brought in James McCarthy, Gareth Barry and Lukaku?

I must admit, I'm very surprised Arsenal haven't gone for a big-name striker considering the undoubted impact Mesut Ozil's arrival had on the club. And now they have been overtaken at the top of the table by Manchester City, you sense it might take something special for them to reclaim first place from Manuel Pellegrini's men. Thoughts?
Lawro's January shopping list
Back at Christmas, we asked Lawro for his Premier League shopping list - who needed who, and why?
A month on, many of the deals have been struck, but there are some clubs who have not made much of an inroad into the market yet.
Here are a few choice cuts from Lawro's list:
Arsenal - they need a striker. Lawro said: "Why not try to go for it in January and try to get whoever they are looking at in then? They undoubtedly have the money and the worst case scenario is that if the new man does not settle in straight away then he will be ready by next August rather than trying to settle in then."
Everton - "They clearly do not need any drastic surgery to their squad but they could do with another striker."
Man City - "Their squad looks very strong in every area apart from centre-back where they have problems whenever Vincent Kompany is injured.
"Martin Demichelis has not convinced me and it is clear the manager Manuel Pellegrini does not fancy Joleon Lescott much either."

DR Papar: It's a good day to run car and helicopter rentals, cue the Ryan Babel-copter.
What to expect
BBC Sport's Ben Smith
"Look a little closer and you soon see there is a strong possibility that fax machines across Europe could be in for a day they won't forget in a hurry. At the top of the table, Liverpool are working hard to bring in one more, while down at the bottom, West Ham are shopping for a bargain.
"The Hammers are trying to hijack Fulham's attempts to sign the Greek striker Konstandinos Mitroglou. The Olympiakos player underwent the first part of his medical with Fulham yesterday and further tests are planned today before an £11m deal is completed.
"But West Ham remain determined to add a striker, as well as a defender, to their squad before tonight's deadline.
"And they are now exploring the possibility of pinching Mitroglou from under Fulham's noses. St Etienne striker Max Gradel is another target."
Savage Says
BBC pundit and former Premier League enforcer Robbie Savage has spilled the beans on what a transfer move is really like for players.
You can watch the video here, and I'll bring you some of his choice cuts.
Savage on moving clubs: "The medical can last two days. Scans, x-rays, blood tests, it's real rigorous stuff. Clubs want to know you are in tip-top condition and it's a real relief when you pass it.
"Moving is a huge thing in your family's life. Will your wife like it there? Will she make new friends? It's easy for the player, you're lucky to have the routine. Your wife can be left in the house knowing nobody. When I moved to Derby my wife refused to move, she stayed in the North West."

Thirumur David Kiran: My best friend threw his TV set out the window after Ronaldo signed for Real Madrid.
What about Harry?
I always wonder what transfer deadline day is like for football managers. Harry Redknapp might not be the obvious centre of attention today, but I bet he was up before the milkman this morning - walking the dog and plotting his first car door interview of the day. Even if he doesn't sign anybody, it just wouldn't be transfer deadline day without 'Arry.
Radio, radio
BBC Radio 5 live
As you'd expect on a day like this, there will be regular transfer news on the BBC's national and regional radio stations up and down the country.
Radio 5 live will also monitor the final few hours of the transfer window with a special Deadline Day edition of 5 live Sport which will be hosted by Mark Chapman.
He will be joined from 19:00-23:00 by a number of guests, among them ex-Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy, former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, ex-Tottenham boss David Pleat and former Wigan manager Owen Coyle. Also in the studio will be journalist Rory Smith from The Times and European football expert Tor Kristian Karlsen, who will monitor all the major deals across the continent.
The BBC's World Service will also be tracking the big deals from across the globe, with reporters in Europe, Africa and South America.
Don't forget that you can listen to all that, and more, from this page. Whilst reading along if you like.
What to expect
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty
"The last day of the January window rarely has the bank-busting moves of August as most of the big deals are already done - but there will still be clubs deciding whether to add to the squad in the final hours.
"Everton may move if John Heitinga goes while Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini could strengthen in central defence, with Porto's Eliaquim Mangala a potential target. If this happens then will Joleon Lescott be allowed out on loan?
"Can Liverpool - and maybe even Manchester United - get late moves over the line?
"And of course the biggest question of all. Will Spurs chairman Daniel Levy actually be able to resist his usual late dabble in the market, especially after that heavy home defeat to Manchester City?"
The morning gossip
On today of all days - the gossip is a must read.
What's in there today? Well, the Daily Mirror reports that West Ham are attempting to hijack Fulham's capture of Kostas Mitroglou in a move which would see Dimitar Berbatov remain at Craven Cottage. I can just imagine Big Sam waiting in arrivals at Heathrow and bundling the striker into the back of a van.
Manchester United manager David Moyes is eyeing up a move for Spurs winger Andros Townsend, according to the Sun, and the Daily Mail have gone with the line that Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has entered the race to sign Cagliari and Italy defender Davide Astori, 27.
What to expect
BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis
"I think we could be in for a busier day than we anticipated at the start of the window.
"Spurs are still looking for a striker, and there are still whispers suggesting the possibility of Manchester United attempting to do one late deal.
"Those fighting relegation will also be busy - the Stoke interest in Lee Cattermole could mean Sunderland add to the arrival of Ignacio Scocco."

Hernanes in tears [0714]? That's the kind of emotion transfer deadline day can bring out in people. What's the best reaction you have ever seen to a transfer? Be it a friend, work colleague or an actual player. Let me know.
The view from Europe
BBC World Service Sport's John Bennett: "Deadline day's going to be busy for some of the biggest clubs in Italy. Brazil international Hernanes is expected to join Inter Milan from Lazio in the next few hours. He was in tears when he left the Lazio's training ground yesterday morning.
"Leaders Juventus are in talks to sign Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo on loan.
"Borussia Dortmund may well be the team to watch in Germany. Jakub Blaszczykowski is the latest addition to their long injury list and head coach Jurgen Klopp wants to add Partizan Belgrade's Milos Jojic to his depleted squad.
"In France, the former Arsenal forward Jeremie Aliadiere is expected to sign for Marseille. And Monaco are still chasing a striker.
"And although It's looking relatively quiet in Spain, "Marca" are one of several papers reporting that title challengers Atletico Madrid are trying to sign promising midfielder Angel Correa from Argentine club San Lorenzo."
No Draxler for Arsenal
BBC Sport's David Ornstein
"Arsenal will not be signing Julian Draxler from Schalke after deciding they are unwilling to meet the German club's asking price.
"The Gunners were interested in bringing the 20-year-old Germany attacking midfielder to Emirates Stadium this transfer window, but they have decided against proceeding with the move.
"Schalke reportedly wanted around 45m euros for Draxler but the Arsenal board and manager Arsene Wenger had a lower valuation.
"The only deal Arsenal are understood to be considering before the Friday 23:00 GMT deadline is the acquisition of a player on loan until the end of the season."

What's been happening?
So what's been happening in the last 12 hours? Quite a lot actually.
First of all, leading our website is Phil McNulty's story that Manchester City have targeted Porto pair Eliaquim Mangala and Fernando. France defender Mangala, 22, is rated at £35m and is one of Europe's most coveted talents, while Brazilian Fernando, 26, would add to City's considerable midfield resources.
Ben Smith reports that Juventus are in advanced talks with Southampton over a loan move for record signing Dani Osvaldo, while Chelsea are close to completing a £12m move for 19-year-old St Etienne defender Kurt Zouma.
And David Ornstein says that Crystal Palace are working on a deal to sign Blackpool winger Tom Ince on loan until the end of the season.
Phil, Ben, David and the rest of our intrepid reporters will be bringing you all the breaking news throughout the day.

Yep, it's one of the two days of the year when fax machines are plugged in, helicopters are scrambled at a moment's notice and the world of football goes completely bonkers.
And everyone is invited to this party. If you see Lionel Messi buying a pasty in a Manchester train station or Wayne Rooney walking out of an estate agents in London, we want to know.
Transfer deadline day
It's better than Christmas Day for football fans. You get an early night the day before, possibly even book the day itself off work.
Then you wait.
You wait for the presents your chairman bestows on your club, you wait for other clubs to come and plunder your rivals' star player, and you wait for the clock to tick over to 11pm. Then we all, as one, take a deep breath and lie down.
But until the transfer window closes, it's going to be lively. Things could move quicker than Usain Bolt nipping out for his Friday night chippy tea. And that's fast, believe me.
In summary, don't go anywhere.
