At least we can say we only signed him once.

Last week we were discussing how AC Milan were so broke that they had to persuade Genoa to buy Kevin Prince Boateng and loan him to them.

Yet today they seem to be signing Ibrahamovic and Robinho WTF

Mate of mine is italian and a big milan supporter - he reckons they're getting both on loan without a fee, and with an option to buy in 12 months - so it's not costing them anything other than wages, at this stage.

Just heard from a reliable source that Steve Bruce is to make a late effort to lure Ronaldinho to the Stadium of Light from AC Milan if the signing of Asamoah Gyan falls through, which appears to be likely with agreeing personal terms the problem. Watch this space."

Robinho makes permanent move to AC Milan. WTF is going on with Milan?

Gyan completes record move

Sunderland have broken their transfer record with the signing of Ghana international striker Asamoah Gyan from Rennes.

The Black Cats were locked in talks for much of transfer deadline day to secure the signing of Gyan, who was one of the stars of this summer's World Cup finals.

Now the North East club have finalised a deal worth in excess of £13million for Gyan, beating their previous record of £10million which they paid for Darren Bent from Tottenham in 2009.

The 24-year-old underwent a medical on Tuesday morning before penning a four-year contract with the Black Cats.

In a move to off-set some of the huge fee, Sunderland have agreed to let Martyn Waghorn join Leicester in a deal worth £3million.

harry redknapp has said they have signed VDV for 8million after an 18million move to bayern fell through yestterday

Arsenal
In Marouane Chamakh, Laurent Koscielny, Sebastien Squillaci
Out Armand Traore, Mikael Silvestre, William Gallas, Jay Simpson, Sol Campbell, Eduardo da Silva, Francis Coquelin loan, Philippe Senderos, Fran Merida

So they've lost 4 centre backs and replaced with 2, and not added a goalie. Arguably weaker IMO.

Aston Villa
In Stephen Ireland
Out James Milner, Nicky Shorey, Marlon Harewood, Stephen OHalloran

Ireland for Milner is a straight swap. Who they get to replace O'Neill will be the factor that decides their season. No stronger than last season, but no weaker really.

Chelsea
In Ramires Benfica, Tomas Kalas, Yossi Benayoun
Out Franco Di Santo, Michael Mancienne Loan, Ricardo Carvalho , Jack Cork, Scott Sinclair, Deco, Danny Philliskirk, Joe Cole, Michael Ballack

As a few have said, Carvalho is a big loss and one I'm surprised they haven't replaced. Still the team to beat though, and their form so far is showing that.

Manchester City
In James Milner, Mario Balotelli, Aleksandar Kolarov, Webuyanycunt, David Silva, Jerome Boateng, Yaya Toure
Out Robinho, Stephen Ireland, Craig Bellamy, Nedum Onuoha, Javier Garrido, Valeri Bojinov, Sylvinho, Benjani Mwaruwari, Martin Petrov

The only team to have really strengthened really. I'd say they're a shoe-in for third, depends on how well Mancini manages their morale - we've already seen Adebayor spouting off.

Manchester Utd
In Chris Smalling, Javier Hernandez, Bebe
Out Tom Cleverley, Danny Welbeck, Craig Cathcart, Tom Heaton, Zoran Tosic, Ben Foster

No changes to the first team. A few of their team are starting to show their age, but its that experience they'll rely on.

Tottenham
In Stipe Pletikosa, William Gallas
Out Dorian Dervitte, John Bostock, Adel Taarabt

After all the big names they've been linked with (same as every summer really) they've not exactly strengthened have they? I think fatigue will get to them later in the season. Subject to 'Arrys wheelings and dealings Van Der Vaart would definately improve them, but it wasn't really one of their weak area's

We might not have had the greatest of summers, but there's only City that have improved. I think with a bit of luck (on injuries in particular), we should be fighting it out with Arsenal for 4th place.

From the beeb

2015: I can exclusively reveal... the Tottenham media staff are still not answering their phones. Given we had planned to wrap this commentary bad boy up at around 1900 BST, I'm starting to wonder how long I should continue. It might be worth sticking around just in case Rafael van der Vaart is presented this evening, though… especially if his missus is in tow. Even if VdV is rubbish, she'll brighten up White Hart Lane on a matchday and no mistake.
