Today is the day fellow footballers. Today is when the European transfer window officially closes! What does that mean for a lot of teams? It means that last minute signings will be made, people who were on loan for a team may be finally sold to that team, controversial signings and betrayals may be made...it is basically a day filled with drama.

DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA
Which transfer is the one to look out for? None other than the now infamous Carlos Tevez. After a season filled with drama, Mancini wants him out. AC Milan seemed to be
the top candidate for the Argentine striker. However, the deal fell through as Milan gave up on the controversial player. Tevez has been missing in action since September after refusing to come on as a substitute for the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. There is still some time to see where he is going to end up, but what is for sure is that the tension within the club will continue.
MEXICAN DILEMMA
Ever since the departure of Javier Aguirre from Real Zaragoza, the question has been lingering of where his two Mexican stars Efrain Juarez and Pablo Barrera are going to end up. Will the next coach want to keep them in Spain? Or will the two have to transfer back to their roots in Pumas UNAM or anywhere in Mexico? For Juarez this question has finally been answered. He was resigned today with his old club in Europe, Celtic FC, which is good for the player in order to gain more European talent and experience. As for Barrera, however, it seems 
that for the time being the incredibly fast and talented Mexican will remain in Zaragoza.
What happened to the Dos Santos brothers? Remember them? Today it was announced that Jonathan Dos Santos (the younger brother of the two) will be staying with Barcelona but will play with the first team yet again. As for Giovani Dos Santos, his future seems likely to pertain in Tottenham as the Spurs refuse to come to an agreement with Spanish club Villareal since not enough money is being offered for the Mexican. Interests from Russia and the United States have also surfaced for Dos Santos but it does not look likely that he will be even interested in transferring to any of those locations.
Many more transfers will surely be made today. Money will be spent, hearts will be broken and will be content. That the life that we as football fans live, I hope all the transfers that are made for your team are just what you wanted! I want to hear more from all of YOU, what transfer has been the most shocking for you so far?
