:00:44. > :00:49.Good evening. January's transfer window is now shut, and once again

:00:49. > :00:56.it has been a busy one. David Beckham is back, he has joined the

:00:56. > :01:01.French Revolution. Harry has been busy, Christopher Samba, his �12

:01:01. > :01:07.million man, Peter Odemwingie has been clouded in controversy today.

:01:07. > :01:15.Mario is in Milan. Balotelli has confirmed his �90 million move up

:01:15. > :01:21.from Manchester. Plenty to talk about and plenty to discuss with

:01:21. > :01:30.Owen Coyle, Robbie Savage and Martin Keown. We also have our team

:01:30. > :01:36.of reporters, and Ian is beavering away to bring as details as the fax

:01:36. > :01:41.machine to enter their final hurrah. First, let's bring you up to date

:01:41. > :01:51.with what we know so far. Here are the 10 confirmed Cup moves on

:01:51. > :02:10.

:02:10. > :02:18.David Beckham will donate his Jack Butland will end this season

:02:18. > :02:28.back on loan at Birmingham, though. QPR paid a club-record fee to bring

:02:28. > :02:46.

:02:46. > :02:51.We always thought that QPR would be very busy, not only of a button,

:02:51. > :02:56.they also have Harry Redknapp in charge. -- not only are they bottom.

:02:56. > :03:06.This morning they announced the clock �0.5 million move for

:03:06. > :03:08.

:03:08. > :03:15.-- �12.5 million. Andros Townsend has joined as well, and took

:03:15. > :03:20.Jermaine Jenas, from Harry Redknapp's former club Spurs. There

:03:20. > :03:24.has been a deadline day soap opera today, Peter Odemwingie's club West

:03:24. > :03:34.Brom are not too happy with their striker, he made his way to QPR

:03:34. > :03:35.

:03:35. > :03:41.think he was going to join them but It hasn't been sorted 100% but

:03:41. > :03:46.hopefully it will get sorted. I left the training ground with

:03:46. > :03:51.almost 100% blessing. You have had a medical? I haven't, I had to

:03:51. > :03:55.drive it down from West Brom now. It is no secret you have been

:03:55. > :04:00.unhappy at West Brom, what can you tell us about what he decides for

:04:00. > :04:06.QPR and help them stay up? I have seen a good few quality players

:04:06. > :04:10.have come here, every football fan like to see what happens here, a

:04:10. > :04:16.good band -- manager, a good Premier League club, I hope I will

:04:16. > :04:22.pay back that trust he gave to me. All deeply confusing, we will get

:04:22. > :04:27.to reaction from the studio. We will be at Loftus Road, but our

:04:27. > :04:33.reporter is in Birmingham. A telling quote saying he almost has

:04:33. > :04:36.100% passing from West Brom. What is the reaction from the club?

:04:36. > :04:41.extraordinary, farcical story. The first they knew about it was when

:04:41. > :04:44.they heard that interview. They were taken completely by surprise.

:04:44. > :04:48.Their reaction was to put out a statement saying they had been

:04:48. > :04:52.talks with QPR but no deal had been done and they certainly haven't

:04:52. > :04:55.given Odemwingie permission did go down and talk to them. I am told

:04:55. > :04:59.that their lawyers are being consulted over this and you can

:04:59. > :05:04.only imagine that when he returns to the club, he will face a very

:05:04. > :05:07.frosty reception. Bear in mind that over the weekend he had already had

:05:07. > :05:11.around to have them on Twitter, which has cost him two weeks' wages,

:05:11. > :05:15.so he is a man in deep, deep trouble with his own club, but it

:05:15. > :05:19.appears he is stuck with them for the rest of the season. We will

:05:19. > :05:24.find that what they do next in the next few days! It will be adjusting

:05:24. > :05:33.to see what happens it in training tomorrow! Let's get to Loftus Road

:05:33. > :05:37.now. I am joined by Harry Redknapp, the QPR manager. How would you

:05:37. > :05:43.assessed today's business, are you happy going into this last part of

:05:43. > :05:48.the season? Well, we missed out on one or two we felt we might get in

:05:48. > :05:51.that didn't happen, that is how it goes sometimes. We were fortunate

:05:51. > :05:55.to get Christopher Samba as a replacement for Ryan Nelsen who

:05:55. > :05:59.have been outstanding for us. We have replaced one outstanding

:05:59. > :06:04.centre half with another, and it took a couple of lads on loan from

:06:04. > :06:09.Tottenham, Jermaine Jenas and Andros Townsend, I'm sure they will

:06:09. > :06:14.do well for us. It has been OK overall. Can you talk us through

:06:15. > :06:19.what happened with a Peter Odemwingie? Of think to lad felt we

:06:19. > :06:24.were trying to sign him, and he felt that a deal had been agreed

:06:24. > :06:30.between the clubs and it happened - - it hadn't, there were still

:06:30. > :06:35.haggling going on. It was unfortunate, wires got crossed

:06:35. > :06:40.somewhere. It was unfortunate, he is a good lad and it was just a bit

:06:40. > :06:46.of a mistake. Now a chance of that deal happening? And no, that is

:06:46. > :06:51.dead. Are you happy with a squad you have now assembled for despite

:06:51. > :06:56.against relegation? Yes, we were not able to do that much, seven

:06:56. > :07:01.have gone out today, we didn't bring in one or two we were hoping

:07:01. > :07:08.for, but we also have some excellent wines. We get on with it

:07:08. > :07:13.now, we are positive. Peter Crouch, he was on the list? Very much, but

:07:13. > :07:17.we couldn't call that one off. This morning we were optimistic that we

:07:17. > :07:20.had Odemwingie and Peter Crouch on our radar but both failed to

:07:20. > :07:25.materialise to stop that is how it goes, some time to get them,

:07:25. > :07:28.sometimes you don't. Harry Redknapp, he is happy with the squad he has

:07:28. > :07:38.got, determined going into the final part of the season that he

:07:38. > :07:39.

:07:39. > :07:43.It is great to get him on. You lot have been shaking your head all

:07:43. > :07:50.evening about Odemwingie, he has embarrassed him Chuck, hasn't he?

:07:50. > :07:53.The edges beyond belief. He has been unhappy, the lads are totally

:07:53. > :07:56.bewildered, to believe they had paid a fee and travel back to

:07:56. > :08:01.London and then stopped the car and give an interview, it went from bad

:08:01. > :08:08.to worse. Then the fact there was no fee aggregate he is back to west

:08:08. > :08:11.Brom, I would imagine he will be fined the maximum he will be fined,

:08:11. > :08:16.and Steve Clarke is left with dealing with the problem that this

:08:16. > :08:22.has caused. We jumped about training, but how does he fit back

:08:22. > :08:26.in at West Brom, can he? It is a shocking error from Odemwingie. He

:08:26. > :08:31.will be driving back in his car thinking, what on earth have I done,

:08:31. > :08:35.I've embarrassed myself, my club, my team mate, now he has to try and

:08:35. > :08:43.rectify the situation. People per transfer requests m and they

:08:43. > :08:49.don't... A Wayne Rooney would back, that fans forgave him, this is just

:08:49. > :08:55.a diabolical error from a player... He mustn't be the brightest in the

:08:55. > :09:05.world. You can't believe the audacity, almost as if he has

:09:05. > :09:12.pressed the wrong button on his Sat I wonder if he has been easily led

:09:12. > :09:16.by his representatives. The chairman at West Brom will not be

:09:16. > :09:21.railroaded into doing anything. am not sure he will look back on

:09:21. > :09:26.this with any degree of positivity. A from his point of view, I can

:09:26. > :09:30.understand he wants to go for QPR at 32 years of age for his last

:09:30. > :09:35.pay-day, because he will go for more money, I can understand that,

:09:35. > :09:39.but not how he has to lead, you have to do it the right way and

:09:39. > :09:49.have more respect. The bottom five in the Premier League, the money

:09:49. > :09:53.they have spent in January, look at the ability to produce the cash.

:09:53. > :09:59.They are only five points away from turning it round, and Harry has

:09:59. > :10:06.done well so far, like Rooney has been an excellent signing.

:10:06. > :10:11.finance, he has recognised that, West Brom have a fantastic season,

:10:11. > :10:15.playing good food for, riding high, QPR are in a relegation battle.

:10:15. > :10:21.Harry has done well since coming in but what they have to do is turn

:10:21. > :10:31.the draws into wins. Odemwingie's motivation was financed. The window

:10:31. > :10:33.

:10:33. > :10:38.shut half-an-hour ago, but deals It wasn't a fate text earlier, it

:10:38. > :10:42.was confirmation that a deal is off. DJ Campbell has fallen through, he

:10:42. > :10:47.held talks with Hull City and travelled across the Pennines, that

:10:47. > :10:54.it hasn't gone through, I think Blackburn will be signing West

:10:54. > :11:01.Brom's Jerome Thomas. So that is the very latest. Still things could

:11:01. > :11:04.trickle on after 11pm, but Everton made a late acquisition from

:11:04. > :11:07.Barnsley for �3 billion, John Stones. He is an England youth

:11:07. > :11:13.international, held talks with Wigan Athletic, then went to

:11:13. > :11:20.Goodison Park. Wigan will be disappointed, they also missed out

:11:20. > :11:25.on a dinner DD but they did sign up for shone on loan from Hamburg. But

:11:25. > :11:29.what a deal for Jack Butland, rising to �3.5 million, he will be

:11:29. > :11:34.loaned back to Birmingham until the end of the season, that is a real

:11:34. > :11:39.bargain, Tony Pulis has been active Because Matthew Upson has joined

:11:39. > :11:45.Brighton on a deal until the end of the season and has also signed Brek

:11:45. > :11:50.Shea, an American international. He has signed for �2.5 million, and

:11:50. > :11:54.Arsenal have brought in a left-back, with the injury to Kieron Giggs,

:11:54. > :12:00.for Malaga left-back Nacho Monreal was a summer target, they have

:12:00. > :12:06.brought him forward, �8.3 million. 26 years of age, a Spanish

:12:06. > :12:09.international. Danny Graham has joined Sunderland from Swansea.

:12:09. > :12:17.is great to see in an age of technology that you are still

:12:17. > :12:20.sticking with that at that old buck! It is a Patty! In the

:12:20. > :12:25.background, you can see the transfer deadline day live as well,

:12:25. > :12:30.which has been updated throughout the day. I'm sure it has been as

:12:30. > :12:34.popular as last year. Lots of information about David Beckham's

:12:34. > :12:37.throughout the day, because at the LA Galaxy midfielder was a free

:12:37. > :12:43.agent so his deal didn't have to happen today, but with the world

:12:43. > :12:48.looking on, it was just like David Beckham to oblige. Around 4:30pm he

:12:48. > :12:57.faced the French media to talk about joining his six Club at the

:12:57. > :13:01.age of six -- 37. I am very lucky, and 37 and I got a lot of offers,

:13:02. > :13:06.Moore offers now than I have probably had in my career at my age.

:13:06. > :13:09.So I am very honoured by that. I have a lot of history with

:13:09. > :13:13.Manchester United, it is the team I support, the team I always dreamt

:13:13. > :13:19.of playing for, and I always said that unless it was Manchester

:13:19. > :13:23.United, I wouldn't want to play for any Premiership team. I am honoured

:13:23. > :13:27.by the officer had from the Premiership teams, but I didn't

:13:27. > :13:33.want to play there unless it was a Manchester United -- the offer as

:13:33. > :13:37.that I had to stop I have not lost any of my pace because to be honest,

:13:37. > :13:42.I never really had a lot of pace throughout my career. That hasn't

:13:42. > :13:46.changed. To lure of being part of one of the biggest European clubs

:13:46. > :13:53.around at the moment, with one of the best managers, I was very lucky

:13:53. > :13:58.to have worked with Carlo Ancelotti for quite a few months in Milan,

:13:58. > :14:03.and Leonardo, I said at the time that car loan is one of the best

:14:03. > :14:08.managers I have played for. -- Carlo Ancelotti. It is exciting and

:14:08. > :14:14.a number of levels. We will go through some of the other movers on

:14:14. > :14:19.the screen. There is the Beckham showed, already selling many of

:14:19. > :14:23.those, I would imagine. A good move for him Rory good move for Paris St

:14:23. > :14:27.Germain? A I think it works well for both of them. It is another

:14:27. > :14:32.thing he wants to accomplish, given to the French League, they are at

:14:32. > :14:35.the Champions League, last 16, they are top of the league. It is only

:14:35. > :14:40.for five months, he has been a great servant for the English game.

:14:40. > :14:43.He still has something to offer, a lovely gesture. I was going to

:14:44. > :14:48.mention, giving all the money to charity. It is about the report for

:14:48. > :14:51.him, it always has been. There is a major circuits that follows him

:14:51. > :14:57.around, but he is a wonderful professional above sure he will

:14:57. > :15:03.represent his country well. It does show the draw of him, he is a free

:15:03. > :15:13.agent, it is only five months long of -- deal, but he has been the

:15:13. > :15:19.

:15:19. > :15:27.He's been outstanding whichever club he's been at. An ambassador

:15:27. > :15:35.and he shows the club in a good light. There's been a clamour of

:15:35. > :15:39.the clubs, even at the age of 37. The these were wealthy men many

:15:39. > :15:44.years ago. That's why they continue to play at the highest level. He

:15:44. > :15:49.sums up everything that's good about football. Compare him to

:15:49. > :15:52.Balotelli. Chalk and cheese. Thank you for the moment gentlemen.

:15:52. > :16:02.Yesterday's headlines were all about the man you just mentioned.

:16:02. > :16:08.Publicity show from down the road in Manchester. Ivan gas kill looks

:16:09. > :16:14.at the mercurial man we know as Mario. Love him, hate him. One

:16:14. > :16:19.thing's for sure, you can't ignore Mario Balotelli. Roberto Mancini

:16:19. > :16:25.has for so long wrapped a fatherly arm around his shoulder. It reached

:16:25. > :16:29.out to rescue him when life at Inter Milan turned sour three years

:16:29. > :16:38.ago. Balotelli descended on Manchester City with considerable

:16:38. > :16:43.baggage no. Doubt the boy's got talent. Fleeting glimpse of his

:16:43. > :16:48.ability add to the frustration over his erratic behaviour. Another

:16:48. > :16:53.moment of madness was hurtling around the bend. For the father

:16:53. > :16:58.figure, enough as enough. Time to go. Let's just say it has been

:16:58. > :17:04.emotional. Now he's back, perhaps where he belongs, Balotelli is

:17:04. > :17:13.ready to write a new chapter at his beloved AC Milan. One thing's for

:17:13. > :17:17.sure - it won't be dull. We've been joined by the former

:17:17. > :17:22.technical director at Manchester City and QPR, a man who knows how

:17:22. > :17:26.these days work. When you were at the Etihad and you were part of the

:17:26. > :17:31.team that signed Balotelli, but think you had somebody very special

:17:31. > :17:36.your hands? We had been watching him for many years. A scout now at

:17:36. > :17:41.Liverpool, Barry Hunter, travelled all over Italy to watch him.

:17:41. > :17:47.Reports were coming back to us that he was a fantastic talent. There

:17:47. > :17:50.was always a slight edge to him in that we didn't know how he would

:17:50. > :17:55.react. What is it like for a Premier League club on a day like

:17:55. > :18:00.today. Are people running around with eight phones on their ears?

:18:01. > :18:08.the bigger clubs it is relaxed. You a lot of planning many months in

:18:08. > :18:17.advance. It is the ones that are towards the end of the window and

:18:17. > :18:20.it makes it difficult. In terms of the relationship between the player

:18:20. > :18:25.and manager, how crucial is that to bringing the right players that the

:18:25. > :18:30.manager really intoonts the club? It depends if you are at a club

:18:30. > :18:35.where the owners want to have a hands-on role in deciding what the

:18:35. > :18:40.players you bring At Manchester City that was never the case. They

:18:40. > :18:46.always listened to the manager. There was a very good relationship

:18:46. > :18:51.with Roberto and Mark before that, a team effort to find the players

:18:51. > :18:55.and bring them in. It wasn't just one person's decision. From your

:18:55. > :19:00.perspective, thinking about transfer deadline days you were

:19:00. > :19:06.involved in, from a manager's perspective was it a frustrating

:19:06. > :19:11.process for you? Harry Redknapp spoke about agents acting in

:19:11. > :19:18.unscrupulous fashion. Mike alluded to it earlier, if you know the

:19:18. > :19:24.business, you get on fine, but it is like anything else, if some

:19:24. > :19:27.clubs lose a place, it is time to get another one in, but there are

:19:27. > :19:32.obviously agents with self interest that want to move players for

:19:32. > :19:37.finance, not football reasons, and that can cause a problem. Mike said

:19:37. > :19:44.that when Balotelli signed for Manchester City they knew they had

:19:44. > :19:49.somebody special. Genuinely, will you two miss him, will the fans

:19:49. > :19:53.miss him? To a degree. There's been so much written and said about him,

:19:53. > :19:57.we haven't really seen the player we saw playing for his national

:19:58. > :20:01.team. That's a shame. Roberto Mancini having signed him, he tried

:20:01. > :20:06.to create stability for the player but he didn't seem to be able to

:20:06. > :20:13.cut it. From a performance point of view, he didn't cut it, but the

:20:14. > :20:18.media will miss him. I think Roberto, he let him down. He gave

:20:18. > :20:24.him so many chances and kept saying how much he loved him and he's gone.

:20:24. > :20:29.They bought the player for �22 million. It is a great deal for

:20:29. > :20:34.Manchester City to get rid of a player who's been causing havoc off

:20:34. > :20:39.their wage bill. One final one Mike, having worked so hard for the BBC

:20:39. > :20:42.today. From a chairman and top- level executive at the club, once

:20:42. > :20:47.transfer deadline day is finished, you do feel a genuine sense of

:20:47. > :20:51.relief, that you can get on with the rest of the season? No really,

:20:51. > :20:57.because you are waiting for the game on Saturday to make sure

:20:57. > :21:01.everybody performs. It is hectic, because the transfer window starts

:21:01. > :21:06.months in advance. Often there's months of planning that goes into

:21:06. > :21:09.trying to get a player which at the end of the window can fall through.

:21:10. > :21:13.That's frustrating.Ning The case of Balotelli that was really planned.

:21:13. > :21:17.There was that moment on the training ground where he

:21:17. > :21:24.overstepped the mark and the manager reacted and he probably

:21:25. > :21:30.felt, enough's enough, let's move it on. And not the fireworks on the

:21:30. > :21:36.cars. That didn't help. I think there was always a plan in his mind

:21:36. > :21:40.he would end up back in Milan. It would have been difficult to go

:21:40. > :21:45.there straight away. Thank you for your time. Back to the capital.

:21:45. > :21:52.While Fulham haven't had the same attention as their neighbours

:21:52. > :21:56.Queens Park Rangers, Martin Jol has added a triumvirate himself. Martin

:21:56. > :22:00.Jol has been moaning how have difficult it's been to bring any

:22:00. > :22:05.players into Fulham in the transfer window but he's managed it on the

:22:05. > :22:09.day with a trio of signings. The first was Urby Emanuelson from AC

:22:09. > :22:15.Milan. He is signed on loan until the end of the season. A player you

:22:15. > :22:24.will know from his days back at Ajax. He could play left back,

:22:24. > :22:30.midfield or a winger. The several player we saw was Stan is lav

:22:31. > :22:36.Manolev. He's a Bulgarian defender, from PSV Eindhoven. He's here on

:22:36. > :22:42.loan, although there's a permanent option to come into play in the

:22:42. > :22:48.summer Kelly left to go to Reading that. Meant that Martin Jol was

:22:48. > :22:53.looking for defensive strengthening. That's why he brought Manolev into

:22:53. > :23:02.the squad. The third player to sign a while ago was Eyong Enoh from

:23:02. > :23:07.Ajax. Using the Dutch situation that he had. He's brought Enoh, on

:23:07. > :23:11.loan. There's a possibility of a two-year deal after that as well.

:23:11. > :23:14.Three loan signings and Martin Jol has managed to do some business at

:23:14. > :23:20.the end of the transfer window by using those Dutch connections. A

:23:20. > :23:30.bit of business at Fulham. But no- one's been busier than Newcastle

:23:30. > :23:37.

:23:37. > :23:47.this month, signing more than Newcastle have spent �80 million on

:23:47. > :24:14.

:24:14. > :24:19.Lets hear from Alan Shearer thinks of what the Toon have been up to in

:24:19. > :24:23.the last few days. I think what it does for the other players, signing

:24:23. > :24:27.players, is give them a boofplts it was there for everyone to see that

:24:27. > :24:30.-- a boost. It was there for everyone to see that their

:24:30. > :24:34.confidence was loan. Struggling with form and with injuries.

:24:34. > :24:41.Straight away it has given the manager a boost. Given everyone a

:24:41. > :24:49.boost. They got the right result at Aston Villa. Newcastle have some

:24:49. > :24:56.good players. One of the best they signed was Cabay. To add others

:24:56. > :25:02.around him. Sissoko looks to be an excellent acquisition. Also linked

:25:02. > :25:09.up well with Cabay and put in a pass for Cisse the other night,

:25:09. > :25:16.which he scored off. I would expect them to climb the table now.

:25:16. > :25:22.There's been movement on the red night of the North-West. Danny

:25:22. > :25:26.Graham, two days after receiving a rather hostile reaction from the

:25:26. > :25:31.how many crowd at the stadium of life. Listen for the boos. It dates

:25:31. > :25:41.back to comments that Newcastle fan Graham made asked by a fanzine who

:25:41. > :25:48.

:25:48. > :25:55.he would support if the Geordies Have you ever made a hideous error

:25:55. > :26:00.or said something - I'm look at you Robbie for some reason. I said I

:26:00. > :26:05.wanted to move close to my parents when I left Birmingham and I joined

:26:05. > :26:10.Blackburn. I found out afterwards that Blackburn was further away.

:26:10. > :26:14.good excuse though. What about from a boss's perspective? Do you think

:26:14. > :26:18.players say things on days like in that get them into trouble? It is

:26:18. > :26:22.then a job to win over the fans. It is like there's more steps to win

:26:22. > :26:27.them over before you start your career at the club. Very much so.

:26:27. > :26:31.And you have to accept they know the questions to ask and if players

:26:31. > :26:36.aren't up to speed, they will say the wrong thing and that leads to

:26:36. > :26:41.you fielding questions thaw don't necessarily want to answer. It is a

:26:41. > :26:46.shame that Danny Graham is going to miss out on a Cup Final. Such the

:26:46. > :26:52.lawyer of going to a big club, the money, he might never play in a

:26:52. > :26:58.final again in his career. He wants to be near his family. Stoke have

:26:58. > :27:05.had a few moves today. An update on that.

:27:05. > :27:10.PROBLEM WITH SOUND Loads of fans turned up. There's

:27:10. > :27:15.been a party-like atmosphere. People playing football, chanting

:27:16. > :27:22.and singing. Stoke City's latest signing, the American international

:27:22. > :27:28.22-year-old Brek Shea, a four-and- a-half year deal from FA Dallas.

:27:28. > :27:33.Jack Butland has signed from Birmingham City.

:27:33. > :27:39.The importance of that Jack Butland signing. Peter Crouch hasn't got

:27:39. > :27:44.anywhere, and Kenwyne Jones as well. Back to the deal desk.

:27:44. > :27:49.Ian, anything else you need to tell us that might happen? I know the

:27:49. > :27:51.window has closed, but things do still happen over the next few

:27:51. > :27:56.hours don't they? What's interesting tonight is the deals

:27:56. > :28:03.that possibly didn't happen. Spurs toyed with the idea of a striker.

:28:03. > :28:11.There was much talk but the Tottenham bid was below the

:28:11. > :28:18.expectations of the Brazilian side. A proposed move of Huddlestone from

:28:18. > :28:26.Tottenham to Fulham. That didn't happen. That didn't happen. They've

:28:26. > :28:31.held on to Mohamed Diame. They were unable to bring in Paul Robertson.

:28:31. > :28:36.Chris Baird was talking of a move from Fulham to West Bromwich Albion.

:28:36. > :28:43.I don't think the paperwork was done in time. Despite the best

:28:43. > :28:48.efforts of Norwich City, five bids rejected for Gary Hooper. Lennon

:28:48. > :28:57.was adamant throughout that he wasn't for sale. I imagine Neil

:28:57. > :29:02.Lennon is very happy this year. But prepare united very critical of

:29:02. > :29:06.authorities forest for the way they've messed George Boyd around,

:29:06. > :29:14.despite having a medical this morning.

:29:14. > :29:19.Peterborough not too happy with Nottingham Forest.

:29:19. > :29:22.Martin, we want to talk about Arsenal. Nacho Monreal has joined

:29:22. > :29:27.from Malaga. You said at the start of the day they needed to

:29:27. > :29:31.strengthen that defence. A wise move do you think? We know he's

:29:31. > :29:39.good enough. It is just he isn't available often enough. They have

:29:39. > :29:44.had to move in that area. He's pulled a thigh muscle. Played seven

:29:44. > :29:50.tiles for his national team. He's a good calibre. Let's be fair,

:29:50. > :29:57.anybody is better than Santos in that position. I think that is what

:29:57. > :30:03.Martin was trying to say diplomatically. Quite a few fans

:30:03. > :30:08.saying we've done it well. And Sir Alex has got it right in January

:30:08. > :30:14.once more. �3 million and they wanted �5 million at the time. His

:30:14. > :30:18.price has got higher and higher because of his quality. These are

:30:18. > :30:25.two terrific talents. Saha is a very good signing no. Doubt about

:30:25. > :30:35.it. Which club has had the best January Robbie? Liverpool.

:30:35. > :30:37.

:30:37. > :30:41.Sturridge. He's a terrific prospect. I agree with that. He scores goings

:30:41. > :30:46.and Suarez. Gentlemen, thank you. It has been great to spend the day

:30:46. > :30:50.with you. Football Focus is on Saturday. Final score, and Match of

:30:51. > :30:56.the Day on Saturday night and Match Of The Day two, and the Six Nations
