González had just signed for Valencia via Danubio, his Uruguayan club, and a loan spell with AS Monaco. Little is simple at St James' Park.

12.35pm Nadir Belhadj, the Algeria left back, moves to Portsmouth from Lens, the French club, on a season-long loan. There is an option to make the move to Fratton Park permanent.

Belhadj rejoined Lens only in January so something must have gone wrong.

2.40pm Perhaps not the news that Everton fans wanted, with Louis Saha, the injury-plagued forward, completing his switch from Manchester United to Goodison Park. David Moyes fails to land Victor Obinna Nsofor, the Inter Milan winger, because of work permit complications.

4.15pm Steve Finnan is granted his wish to leave Liverpool. The Ireland defender, once mooted as a potential makeweight in the doomed Gareth Barry transfer to Anfield, heads for Spain on a two-year contract with Espanyol for an undisclosed fee.

4.43pm Another escapes the uncertainty at Anfield, with Andriy Voronin, the lightweight Ukraine striker, disappearing to Germany. Hertha Berlin snap him up on a year-long loan.

5.03pm Collins John, the Fulham forward, is allowed to leave Craven Cottage for NEC Nijmegen, the Dutch club. A free transfer and perhaps overpriced at that.

5.34pm West Bromwich Albion confirm signing - and spelling - of Ryan Donk, a central defender on loan from AZ Alkmaar. Surname sure to inspire tabloid headline writers.

5.48pm Liverpool and Espanyol continue to indulge in transfer mayhem, with Albert Riera, the winger, arriving on Merseyside on a four-year contract. Riera was barely noticed when on loan with Manchester City two years ago.

6.12pm José Mourinho, the coach of Inter, persuades his Portuguese compatriot, Ricardo Quaresma, to leave FC Porto for the San Siro. A fee of £15million does the trick, with Pele - the midfield player, not the legend - going in the other direction.

9.11pm Stoke City’s trawling of the bargain basement dredges up Danny Higgginbotham from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract.

10.52pm In the intray at Fulham, Julian Gray, the Coventry winger, on a season’s loan. In the out-tray, Alexei Smertin, the Russia midfield player, has his contract cancelled.

10.59pm Danny Cousin, 31, is off to Hull City from Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

11.08pm George McCartney, the full back, rejoins Sunderland from West Ham United on a five-year deal. No fee is disclosed.

12.08am City flex their new chequebook and complete the shock of the day, stealing Robinho from under Chelsea’s noses.

12.38am Even City’s new owners can’t win them all. United leave it late to win the tug-of-war with their Manchester rivals, sealing a £30.75 million deal for Berbatov.
