Transfer Deadline Day!
Afternoon, chaps! I'm fresh home from class and digging into the transfer news from the day. As Dave mentioned on the text earlier, there is a special transfer show on Peacock right now until the 6pm deadline. Join me for some chatter about the big moves for all of our clubs.

Let's start some of the big moves from the day's action.
Antoine Griezmann is moving back to Atletico from Barca.
Leicester have signed Fulham striker Ademola Lookman.
Palace have signed Celtic schemer Odsonne Edouard.
Hector Bellerin has left Arsenal for Real Betis; they're working on bringing in Serge Aurier from Spurs.
Real have failed to bag Kylian Mbappe but have landed Eduardo Camavinga instead.
Lots of Premier League clubs seem to be shedding some of their excess today. That's why we finally got Dan James. I wouldn't be surprised if we move Helder Costa along.
Liverpool centre-back Rhys Williams has signed a new five-year contract with the club and joined Swansea City on loan.
West Ham have signed Czech midfielder Alex Kral on loan with an option to buy the 23-year-old midfielder. The fee next summer is expected to be €13m (£11.2m).
Spanish defender Saul has joined Chelsea for a 5 million Euros fee.
Some chatter on the Peacock show about Ronaldo's number. Apparently teams need special dispensation to change a squad number after the season has started. Cavani has the #7 shirt right now, while Dan James has left the #21 shirt behind. Cavani apparently wears #21 for Uruguay, so that might be his future shirt number to make room for CR-7.
Everton have signed Solomon Rondon from Newcastle, presumably as a backup for DCL.
Here's the Leeds news - they're working on a loan deal for Helder Costa to move to Valencia for the season.
There's been a lot of chat on the Leeds boards today about how Dan James will be used. A lot of people are imagining a reshuffling so that Raph plays alongside Bamford, with Dan James running down the right, Jack Harrison on the left and Rodrigo in the hole.
Just fifteen minutes left of the window and things seem pretty quiet in the Premier League now.
So Serge Aurier is definitely moving away from Spurs. Still not sure where he'll be ending up. Arsenal are in talks but he may also end up in Moscow.
The fee was agreed this morning, and Arsenal have now confirmed the deal is done. The Japan defender Takehiro Romiyasu, who can play at right-back or centre-back, joins from Bologna for £17m.
So that's it - the transfer window has closed as of 6pm.
So glad it was not Aurier that we brought in. He's been team poison wherever he's landed. I don't know Tomiyasu at all, but he'll do just by virtue of not being Aurier. Moscow sounds just about right for that twat.
