da betsul: What’s the best day on the calendar? Christmas? Easter? Perhaps even your birthday? Well if we’re being honest, for a true football fan, all of these occasions are trumped by an event that takes place twice a year. Transfer deadline day. At the end of every January and August, the rumour mill goes into absolute overdrive as teams frantically hurry to try and improve the squad for the coming season ahead. Players are sighted everywhere, indeed don’t be surprised to see Cristiano Ronaldo landing at Leeds-Bradford Airport or Lionel Messi house hunting in Brighton – it all adds to this mystery of a day.

Ahead of the crazy shenanigans that await us, we bring you ten things you should expect to happen on transfer deadline day.
