You've got to admire West Brom - they certainly won't be rushed into selling Saido Berahino. I doff my cap to TP. He'll appreciate that gesture. Being a cap man and all that.

"It's not Deadline Day as we know it. But in terms of overall spend over the season, it's exceeded £1bn, which is astonishing. There are a couple of deals still likely to go through before 11: Porto midfielder Gianelli Imbula to Stoke, and Lokomotiv Moscow striker Oumar Niasse to Everton. As for Saido Berahino, it looks like he'll be staying at the Hawthorns."

Has it been a quiet deadline day for your team so far? Hoping for some late action?

Well, Oxford midfielder Danny Rose, Sheffield United forward Michael Higdon and Fleetwood striker Eddie Dsane have all been released during the last hour or so - and could yet be popping up at a football club near you before 23:00 GMT.

Niall Hope: Sad for Pellegrini, class act always stuck to his philosophy from first #mcfc, external interview held himself with dignity at all times.

Richard Fridl: I bet Wenger, Poch, Klopp and the rest of the guys will love the challenge of Pep coming to town to play.

Rangers get their man. After a couple of earlier bids were rejected, St Johnstone agree to sell forward Michael O'Halloran to the Scottish Championship leaders for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half year contract at Ibrox.

"This could be a great signing if Everton don’t pay over the odds. Best played as a poacher, Niasse has good finishing and heading stats, as well as very good numbers across the board physically. Unusually for an out-and-out goal-scorer, his ratings for determination, work rate, and teamwork are also very high, and he’s a regular 10-15 goals per season striker in FM."

And, of course, if you're a security guard at a Premier League ground... lock your doors.

Otherwise, you'll find Peter Odemwingie kipping on your plush reception sofa in the morning. The one next to the fax machine.

Like The Hangover meets TDD.

So, the sun is setting across the United Kingdom. Is it time for players to use the cover of darkness to sneak around and make a deadline day move?

We can only hope...

Queens Park Rangers have completed the signing of Burton Albion winger Abdenasser El Khayati for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old, who Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink also signed during his time with Albion, has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal at Loftus Road.

Just a thought, Teddy... but the Bayern Munich and Chelsea jobs are available...

And let me tell you that our very own Phil McNulty is hammering the phone lines. I've just passed his desk and he's putting in the calls and exchanging plenty of texts with club media officers.

He's all over it if anything was to happen.
