How Twitter reacted as Guardiola saves Deadline Day
Published:
Deadline Day began rather quietly yesterday, and ended pretty much in the same vein late last night, but in-between, Man City provided some dramatic developments.
The news that Manuel Pellegrini will leave the club in the summer to be replaced by Pep Guardiola had a good go at breaking the internet, and it certainly spiced up an otherwise lacklustre final day of the transfer window.
None of the Premier League’s major players made any movement on the player front, with most of the action coming from the bottom half of the table and the sharp end of the Championship.
Here’s how it all unfolded on Twitter…
The Guardiola news gave people a welcome piece of news on a quiet day..
#DeadlineDay pretty much a non event. No wonder the Pep Guardiola story blew up!

The most exciting news on #DeadlineDay was City announcing Pep . This transfer window was pretty lame. — KR7 (@KHRISSYMINAJ) February 2, 2016
It wasn’t too bad for Everton fans however, who shelled out £13.5m on Oumar Niasse…
Hopefully #Niasse will prove to be a useful addition. Could help keep #Lukaku on edge. #DeadlineDay #EFC

Middlesbrough fans quite enjoyed Deadline Day too with a £9m move for Blackburn’s Jordan Rhodes to add to several other deals from Aitor Karanka in January…
Well happy with signing Jordan Rhodes. Premier league here we come #DeadlineDay #UTB — Kate Mason (@KateMason24) February 1, 2016

After making zero signings in the transfer window things don’t look good for Aston Villa…
Villa may as well forfeit the rest of thier games after making no signings #goners #DeadlineDay

Just went Asda and spent more on Freddo bars than what Villa did on players #Avfc #deadlineday — iLukas (@iLukasx100) February 1, 2016

Stoke left it late but added some excitement with a club-record £18.5m deal for Porto’s Giannelli Imbula…
Never thought I’d say this but Stoke City with the signing of the day #DeadlineDay #skysportsDeadlineDay #stoke #sparky #Imbula — Stuart Andrews (@StuartA1308) February 1, 2016

But overall it was a bit of a dud one as none of the big boys made any moves, so to sum it all up, here’s Dave…
