The summer transfer window has come and just about gone and, for the most part, I reckon people would agree that this was by far one of the most interesting in recent memory.

From the Dimitar Berbatov saga to Robinho, Gareth Barry and Cristiano Ronaldo, the papers have had more than enough to write/lie about this summer. While the rumours seemed to come fast and furious every day, there never seemed to be anything to back up 90 per cent of the stories.

In the end we were left with a handful of transfers, a shirt saga, and one sulking striker who couldn’t seem to get his own way. Like many, I’m glad the window is about to close. If anything, it allows everyone to finally concentrate on the task at hand – and that’s winning the league title.

As we move forward, I think it’s only right to look back on the hilarity of the transfer window, and the top FIVE stories that shaped the summer.

1. Kevin Keegan promises FOUR quality players: Yep, that’s right. Keegan promised Newcastle supporters not one, not two not three, but FOUR quality signings when the summer started. How many did he produce? I believe the number is ZERO. Not only that, but he nearly lost Michael Owen at one point, had to watch James Milner leave for Villa, and then struggled to find his way in a less-than-booming transfer market. At least King Kev secured a draw against Manchester United on the opening day. That makes up for the lack of quality over the summer, right?

2. Chelsea put Robinho’s shirt on sale in the club shop: Now THIS is what the transfer window is all about! You know a club is at the top of their game when the club shop finds a way to potentially ruin a transfer. After flying to Madrid to secure one of the biggest swoops of the summer, Chelsea PR get wind of the move and decide to put Robinho’s shirt on sale before he has even signed for the club. Whoops! Real Madrid hear about the situation and promptly raise their valuation. I’m sure Roman loved hearing about that!
