Nothing better than walking to work in the rain, spilling coffee on one's shirt while shaking hands with someone, and then sitting down to a nice dose of sensationalist Arsenal reporting. Yay! The rest of the links are coming in a separate post, but first, a word on John Cross's (yes, I am linking to it) column in the Mirror claims that not signing Mark Schwarzer has cost Arsenal a shot at trophies (again) below the fold.

It has been a quiet transfer deadline day for Arsenal. In the only two moves of note that have taken place involving the club, left-back Armand Traore has been loaned to Serie A side Juventus, and reserves striker Nacer Barazite has been loaned to Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem.
There was no other movement involving current Gunners, although former Arsenal midfielder Alexsandr Hleb has joined up with Birmingham City on loan from Barcelona.
The big movers today included Stoke City (three players in, including former Gunner Jermaine Pennant and former Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen, and two out) and Sunderland, who spent a reported 13 million pounds to acquire Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan from Rennes.
