• Look back at the first part of our deadline-day coverage • Keep up to date with the Guardian Sport Twitter account • Email simon.burnton@guardian.co.uk with your thoughts • Joe Cole joins Lille on season-long loan • Tottenham seal £6m deal for West Ham’s Scott Parker • All today’s completed deadline day deals 4.39pm: Everton are going to sign someone you might have heard of ! By which I mean, there’s an article in Spanish paper As saying they are going to get Real Madrid outcast Royston Drenthe. Meanwhile – Ian Rush … Robbie Fowler … Craig Bellamy – what is it with Liverpool re-signing former strikers? 4.35pm: I’m in the market for more photos of people posing with new shirts. Let me know if you spot any good ‘uns. 4.34pm: Fulham have completed the signing of former Juventus defender Zdenek Grygera on a free transfer. 4.31pm: West Ham have signed Papa Bouba Diop and Henri Lansbury, the latter on loan for the season. 4.29pm: Florent Malouda, who had been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham, has refused to leave Stamford Bridge. Currently with the France squad preparing to play Albania on Friday, this is what he had to say on the subject today: “I’ve always been clear in my choices. It’s going to be very difficult to take me out of my club. I’ve still got two years left on my Chelsea contract. My objective is to extend by one year until the 2014 World Cup. That hasn’t changed and it won’t change tonight.” 4.24pm: Craig Bellamy to Liverpool, eh? 4.21pm: And yet more from Andy Hunter: “Shaun Wright-Phillips isn’t going anywhere yet. He’s still looking for a pay-off from Manchester City before agreeing to undergo a medical with QPR. Owen Hargreaves should complete his move to City today, although as a free agent he has until Friday to sign a contract.” 4.20pm: Sky are now saying that reports of Asamoah Gyan asking for a transfer are “categorically untrue”. 4.19pm: Here’s another missive from our Liverpool-based correspondent, Andy Hunter: “Christian Poulsen has completed a permanent transfer to Evian Thonon Gaillard, 12 months after arriving at Liverpool for £5.5m. That leaves only Raul Meireles and Brad Jones of Roy Hodgson’s signings at the club (Danny Wilson was agreed before Hodgson arrived).” Meireles might not be there long either, if current talk about a move to Chelsea proves accurate. 4.19pm: Hello! We’re back – and this time we’re here to stay (hopefully)! Welcome back to our live coverage of transfer deadline day.
