Hectic dealing on transfer deadline day

Manchester City completed the signing of former United midfielder Owen Hargreaves on a one-year deal on transfer deadline day.

Shaun Wright-Phillips departed the Etihad Stadium for QPR, while Craig Bellamy left to rejoin former club Liverpool, who loaned Joe Cole to Lille, sold David Ngog to Bolton and Christian Poulsen to Evian.

Fans’ favourite Wright-Phillips, who moved to Loftus Road at the same time as Sunderland stopper Anton Ferdinand, praised the City supporters.

He said: “I would like to thank you all for the fantastic backing you've given me over my ten years' service.”

Among the lower leagues, Rochdale boss Steve Eyre swooped for Peterborough striker David Ball (21)

and Manchester City midfielder Ahmed Benali (19) on loan.
