The best and the worst of deadline day deals

Now, that the transfer deadline has closed, it is time for the clubs to see how these transfers will have an impact in their premiership season. As compared to the previous transfer window, there were significant more activity on August 31, with some clubs like Stoke and Birmingham bringing in 3 new faces each on deadline day. The only other news about this window is that the Top 5 teams from last season did not make a single move yesterday, happy to have made all that they wanted earlier. Whether this will have an impact on the league table ( such as Arsenal not signing a keeper), only time will tell. Here's my pick for the best and worst of the transfer from deadline day: The Best: Tom Cleverly (Manchester United to Wigan, loan) For me, this is a major coup by Roberto Martinez to grab this highly rated youngster to Wigan. Having seen Tom in action of England U21's there is no doubt that he will be a major star in years to come. Much alike Jack Wilshere's successful loan spell at Bolton last season, Cleverly will surely add much needed quality to a Wigan side who are looking like early contenders for relegation. The Worst: Eidur Gudjohnnsen( Monaco to Stoke, loan) This deal together with that of Jermaine Pennant tells me that Tony Pulis is a desperate man. Having loss the first 3 games this season, he has to show that he is doing something to keep Stoke in the Premiership. However, looking at Gudjohnsen and Pennant, I seriously don't think that they are the type of players that will fit in well at the Britannia. Stoke's gameplay is all about speed and robustness, will plenty of aerial attack through Rory Delap's bombs into the box. Neither Gudjohnsen nor Pennant comes with speed or aerial ability to fit into the strategy. Is Tony Pulis going to change the way Stoke play to accomodate these players? Surely not. And at the reported £90,000 a week salary the Norwegian is on, I certainly worry for them financially and for their Premiership status.
