In what turned out to be an eventful day, all clubs in Europe have done their last deals to add talent to their squads...even though some fans are not pleased with their business.
As the day developed, we learned about some deals being worked out. The first notable agreement came when Torino FC confirmed the signing of Joe Hart, who will join the Italian Bulls on a season-long loan.
The Serie A club revealed the news on its website with Hart's pic signing his contract.
Later in the day, we found out that Jack Wilshere, the man who claimed having received 22 offers in one day, chose to join AFC Bournemouth on a loan deal. Wilshere fell down Arsene Wenger's pecking order and chose to leave the Gunners to enjoy some playing time.
