Didn't know Bouazza had left Turkey after five days and one game!

Lawrie Sanchez once spent nearly £5m on this useless cunt

Blackpool have confirmed the signing of winger Hameur Bouazza, subject to international clearance.

The 24-year-old has agreed an initial one-year deal, with the option of a second year, at Bloomfield Road.

The Algeria international passed a medical over the weekend before linking up with the national squad for their World Cup qualifier with Zambia.

Bouazza, who left Fulham in the summer, was a free agent after leaving Turkish side Sivasspor after just five days.

He started his career with Watford before joining Fulham for £5m in the summer of 2007, and enjoyed loan spells with Charlton and Birmingham last season.

Stoke ran out of time in their attempt to sign Bayern Munich right back Christian Lell after the player could not be located by the German club.

Do you think he went into hiding after hearing of their interest?

Aston Villa took their summer spending to £40million after finally confirming the signing of Manchester City skipper Richard Dunne.

Republic of Ireland captain Dunne has ended his nine-year spell with City by making a £6million switch from Eastlands.

The Premier League asked for more time to ratify the deal despite Villa starting to submit the relevant documents before 4pm on deadline day - an hour before the transfer window formally closed.

But Villa were always confident Dunne would become their player after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.

The Football Association were also satisfied with the paperwork presented by Villa but needed the approval of the Premier League.

Dunne was Villa's second defensive capture after Wales international James Collins signed from West Ham on deadline day for £5million.

Manager Martin O'Neill has been desperate to bolster his back four after skipper Martin Laursen retired and Zat Knight was sold to Bolton.

He said: "Richard Dunne is the kind of person we are looking for."

Dunne's days at Eastlands appeared to be numbered after the arrival of Kolo Toure from Arsenal and then Joleon Lescott from Everton.

Villa started the current campaign with only two experienced centre-backs in Curtis Davies and Carlos Cuellar.

The need for new blood became even more pressing after Davies started to suffer more regular recurrences of his long-standing shoulder problem and he may need surgery.

Dunne would have been entitled to a testimonial next summer when he would have completed a decade of service at City.

After joining Villa, he told the club's official website: "I'm delighted. It's a great opportunity for me. Obviously Aston Villa have improved each season recently.

"Hopefully I can be part of a squad that can challenge for a Champions League spot.

"I think with Aston Villa, with the experience they would have gained from last season - they went so close for so long at the top end and the manager has bought in some new players into the squad this year - maybe it might help us go that bit further."
