SIMON JONES: You could almost hear the tumbleweed blow across Premier League HQ… the window was delicately put back on the latch to end one of the most underwhelming transfer periods in recent memory

You could almost hear the tumbleweed blow through Premier League HQ last night as Armando Broja completed his anticipated move from Chelsea to fulham.

The window did not slam shut, it was delicately put back on the latch to end one of the most underwhelming transfer periods in recent memory.

Broja’s trundle across west London represented the most high-profile deal and will cost Fulham an initial £750,000, and up to £4million depending on how many games the striker starts.

It was a significant climbdown from Chelsea as they had quoted Wolves and Fulham up to £50m for the 22-year-old earlier this week.
