In a typically entertaining and frantic January transfer window, if not a spending one, there were many sagas and late deals that caught the eye.
Peter Odemwingie tried, but ultimately failed, to take his transfer into his own hands by effectively abandoning West Brom, only to be refused entry to QPR - despite
Harry Redknapp showing his desire to flash the cash once again.
Tottenham's chase for a striker was unsuccessful, though north London rivals Arsenal managed to sneak a late signing in the shape of full-back Nacho Monreal, while Anzhi proved their muscle with a deal for
Willian which broke the £30 million barrier.
However, there was only ever going to be one winner for the move of the window award when
PSG announced that
David Beckham was joining them until the end of the season - and is donating the wages from his five-month contract to charity.
