Watford's squad has been hit by vindictive spates of injuries all season, but in bringing in Tom Cleverley, M'Baye Niang and Mauro Zarate we have already ticked a lot of boxes. 

Tim Krul is being mooted as cover/competition for Heurelho Gomes; otherwise, any late traffic seems likely to be out of the door with Ighalo, Guedioura and Jerome Sinclair likely to leave. The Hornets are never "not in the market", though, so anything is possible.

Players are rattling out of Arsenal on loan at some rate.

Midfielder Gedion Zelalem, 20, has joined Dutch club VVV Venlo on loan until the end of the season.

Here he's posing with two chaps that auditioned to be Top Gear presenters.

Andrew Deegan: I've sent two promising young eggs out on loan to the microwave. Will keep you posted on their development. 

Scott Jones: Just invested in a half season ticket at Liverpool. Includes all remaining cup games as well. Wait a minute... 

Simon James: Dipped into war chest for ham and cheese croissant this morning, much expected from the usually dependable Frenchman.

The 21-year-old striker joined Championship leaders Brighton on loan for the rest of the season last night.

A marquee signing by Louis van Gaal, Dutch winger Memphis Depay was frozen out at Manchester United by Jose Mourinho, playing only eight games this season.

When he joined United, they paid PSV £25m with the promise of more if certain performance-based criteria were met. They weren’t.

Still, United keep an interest him. They have agreed a buy-back clause with Lyon. That sort of deal probably saves any Paul Pogba-style inflation.

The capture of Jose Fonte was a shrewd bit of business but the capture of Robert Snodgrass was a bit of a farce. We've been heavily linked with Brentford striker Scott Hogan but again our valuation appears way under that of his club's. The news this morning is we've pulled out of the race - I wouldn't believe that for a second. 

If Bilic really wants him, we'll make another approach later. The huge surprise for me, once again, is our apparent lack of desire to sign a right back. It's our only position where I believe we do not have Premier League quality. Sam Byram is a fantastic prospect for the future but he's still got a lot to learn. 

The departure of Dimitri Payet was incredibly regrettable. Personally I'd have let him rot in the reserves but I understand why the club accepted Marseille's offer.

Where to? Chelsea

How much? A bid of around £3m has been rejected

This would surely be one of the most surprising moves of the window, with the Premier League leaders coming in for Gordon, a man who has revived his career at Celtic.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has said that Gordon, who has 18 months left on his contract, will not be joining the Blues.

If he did, it would probably mean that Asmir Begovic leaves Stamford Bridge. But would Gordon really be willing to swap Celtic Park for the Chelsea bench?

I wonder what words came after "Jurgen Klopp"?

"Three defeats in a week"?

"Resting players"?

"Out of two cups"?

Liverpool
Jack Lusby, This is Anfield

January has been a wholly disappointing month for Liverpool, beyond a new contract and the return of Steven Gerrard. Deadline day isn’t likely to change that. 

Five players have already left and there’ll be more deadwood on the way, with no incomings. Plus, Mamadou Sakho is likely to leave which, in my opinion, is a poor decision given he’s one of the club’s best players. A window wasted.

Southampton

The Sports Analytics Machine (SAM) and professor Ian McHale, external have been busy working out the expected contributions of new players to teams. Southampton might be busy today and it might be good business too. 

Adding Liverpool's Mamadou Sakho to the team and simulating the remainder of the season one million times, gives them an expected increase of 1.4 points. 

SAM thinks adding Manolo Gabbiadini's imminent signing from Napoli brings them a total improvement of 2.5 points which could be a league place or two higher come the end of the season...

When the biggest moves are David Bentley leaving Arsenal for Blackburn and Robbie Earnshaw swapping West Brom for Norwich, you know it’s been a quiet deadline day.

Still, January had seen some other interesting bits of business. Nemanja Vidic began a rather successful career at Manchester United, a hormonal Theo Walcott moved schools from Southampton to Arsenal and Robbie Fowler made an emotional return to Liverpool from Manchester City.

‘God’ scored eight league goals in his second coming, and was off to Cardiff 18 months later.

There are several Africa Cup of Nations players who could be involved in deadline day moves. 

The most high profile is Jordan Ayew, who is set to sign for Swansea City from Aston Villa in a swap deal with Neil Taylor, plus cash. 

Ayew scored a brilliant goal in Ghana's 2-1 Quarter-Final win over DR Congo on Sunday. 

Meanwhile Leicester City are being linked with Molla Wague of Mali and Udinese. The centre-back played all three of Mali's games in Gabon. They conceded just 2 goals but didn't make the knockout stage.

And Senegal centre-back Kara Mbodj is another name to watch today but Anderlecht seem reluctant to sell.

Rob, Colchester: Just bought fajitas and tacos for dinner... English style meals are overpriced so I went for a cheaper foreign import that has enormous potential to be a great meal for the family. Just hoping the guacamole doesn't show its temperamental side and turn brown before I serve up.

DarceysDad, Queensbury: Having found my old coat short of the required defensive quality at Man City v Spurs ten days ago, I splashed out a house record fee on a Timberland goosedown one. Got it cheap because it was sat sulking in the reserves on a sale rail. Gave it its debut at Scunthorpe v PortVale on Saturday, and it serenely took the man of the match award.

Alexandre Pato is only 27?

I thought China was where footballers went to die?

Sort of like America used to be, before they figured out the real money is in Asia.

Former AC Milan (and briefly) Chelsea attacking midfielder Alexandre Pato has moved to the Chinese Super League. The 27-year-old has joined Tianjin Quanjian for a reported £15.5m from Spanish club Villarreal. 

Tianjin Quanjian's manager is none other than ex-Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro...
