The January transfer window for the 2018-19 season has slammed shut on a very cold night in England and another deadline day is over.
The major stories included Marouane Fellaini leaving Manchester United for China and veteran striker Peter Crouch arriving at Burnley from Stoke in a swap deal for Sam Vokes.
Newcastle have broken finally broken their long-standing transfer record by signing Miguel Almirón for £20m from Atlanta and Leicester have brought in Monaco’s Youri Tielemans on loan.
Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi has also reportedly had a move to Crystal Palace on loan agreed according to late speculation.
These were the best tweets and jokes from transfer deadline day this January:

Sky Sports currently trying to big up a loan move for Vincent Janssen. Let's just all admit #DeadlineDay peaked and died the moment that lad put a purple dildo in someone's ear.
