Transfer Deadline Day

City fans celebrate the news that Stephen Hunt isn't going anywhere!

It's difficult to avoid the cloud of hyperbole, hype, disappointment and wasted time that is transfer deadline day. Thanks to Sky Sports News we know all about every deal that might be about to happen, has happened, won't happen, they want to happen and we love it don't we? I couldn't tell you why, but it's ace. Managers hate it, agents love it and the fans, starved of transfer activity for most of the season can't get enough of it. City have so far only done one piece of business of note, with Zaki joining the ranks and their only involvement on deadline day so far has been to allow Will Atkinson to extend his loan at Rochdale (link) and to tell Wolves to stick their £5 million offer for Stephen Hunt up their arse (link). Great news for the Tiger Nation. Selling Hunt would've been a hammer blow to our chances of survival, with the diminutive Irish winger scoring 6 goals and providing assists for a further 4. City have scored only 22 league goals this season, with Hunt critically involved in nearly half of them. The facts speak for themselves don't they?

I'll be posting throughout the day on any City related news or just on stories that catch my eye. Reaction to the frustrating draw with Wolves and a preview of tomorrow's game at Chelsea will follow later on tonight.
