Transfer window countdown

Pavlyuchenko

With less than a week remaining before the end of the transfer window, we're here to keep you up to date with who's moving where.

We'll bring you all the moves as they happen before the window slams shut on Monday.

To remember what happened yesterday, click here

5.06pm: Manchester United have agreed to cancel the contract of striker Dong Fangzhuo.  He joined United in 2004, made his first team debut in 2007, and played twice in the 2007-08 season, once as a sub.  He will be sorely missed, although somehow Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs, Nani, Scholes, etc will struggle on without him.

4.48pm: Chelsea seem confident they'll get their man: they're advertising the sale of Robinho shirts online even though the deal has not officially been completed.  However, they haven't decided his number yet.

3.34pm: Kevin Davies has signed a three-year deal that keeps the striker at Bolton until 2011.  Davies signed for the club in 2003, and since then has committed over five hundred fouls, more than any other Premier League player over the same period.  It's probably safer to keep him than to sell him.

3.21pm: Fulham's Moritz Volz joins Ipswich on a season-long loan.  The man known as 'The Electrician' rides his bicycle to home games in Fulham.  Perhaps now he'll try a tractor.

2.20pm: Shaun Wright-Phillips has re-joined Manchester City for an undisclosed fee, though there's speculation that it's about £9 million.  He was bought by Chelsea for £21 million in July 2005.  Sparky's delighted, calling it a 'fantastic coup' for the club. 

Let's hope Shaun's happy about it.  Wayne Lindsay, his agent, said yesterday: "He doesn't want to join either team [Everton or Man City] and we are now discussing the next move to see what we do."

1.55pm: West Brom defender Paul Robinson (incidentally, one of three Paul Robinsons currently playing in the football league) has signed a new contract keeping him at the club until 2010.

1.44pm: after a load of kerfuffle yesterday Linvoy Primus, the Portsmouth defender, has now joined Charlton on a three-month loan.  Charlton was the club where Primus started his career, and they wanted him for longer, but 'Arry Redknapp wasn't having it.

12.54pm: Keith Andrews, the MK Dons captain, is having a medical at Blackburn - and you imagine it's not because he's feeling a bit under the weather and thought Lancashire would be a good place to get checked out.

12.50pm: Hearts have signed Adrian Mrowiec, the Polish midfielder, from Lithuanian club FBK Kaunas (the same side who unceremoniously dumped Rangers out of Europe earlier this month).

12.09pm: the Italian press are reporting that Victor Nsofor Obinna, the Inter Milan striker, is going to Everton on a one-year loan.  At Goodison Park he will join Victor Anichebe - a different Nigerian striker called Victor.  Is David Moyes trying to confuse visiting teams?  Perhaps we should refer to the new signing by his full name: Victor Roger Charlie Zulu Benjamin Chibuzor Nsofor Obinna.  Let's look forward to that being chanted on the terraces.

10.29am: all quiet on the western front. And eastern. And northern and southern for that matter. Who will be the first to show his cards? Roman Pavlyuchenko perhaps? He looks fairly keen to move up in the picture above.
