The Carlos Tevez transfer saga (it must always be called a saga) is no closer to coming to an end. AC Milan are still rumoured to be interested.

So with 6 hours to go - the big deals we know about that could come off today are Bobby Zamora to QPR, Nikica Jelavic and possibly Steven Pianaar to Everton, potentially Louis Saha and/or Hugo Rodallega to Tottenham, Carlos Tevez to AC Milan, Ravel Morrison to West Ham and Pavel Pogrebnyak to Fulham.

With all due respect, the names flying around today aren't quite in the same bracket as the Fernando Torres / Luis Suarez / Andy Carroll merry-go-round of last year's January transfer window. But with 6 hours remaining, I won't be ruling out any last minute big-name moves. You'll hear all about it right here as we take you through to the 11pm deadline...

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp made no secret of his desire to bring in a striker during this window but Louis Saha is a surprise. The Frenchman is 33-years-old and there's no doubt his career is in decline, and has been for some time. Any thoughts readers?

Jamie Jackson of the Guardian Tweets: Zamora deal still a long way off completion i'm hearing #qprfc #ffc

A few players who have been linked with moves throughout the window have mysteriously fallen off the radar today. Chris Samba, who handed in a transfer request at Blackburn appears to be staying at Ewood Park. Another player who appears to be remaining in Lancashire is Junior Hoilett, who is out of contract in the summer. Fulham's Andrew Johnson is another who is out of contract at the end of the season and had been linked with a move away. We also heard that Dimitar Berbatov could be leaving United and that Florent Malouda, Salomon Kalou, Didier Drogba and Jose Bosingwa were destined for the Chelsea exit. None of these players is being strongly linked with a transfer today - at least not yet...

DONE DEAL: Whether Stuttgart are swines or not, Fulham have completed the signing of 28-year-old striker Pavel Pogrebnyak on a permanent deal. Does that mean Bobby Zamora is free to go? We'll keep you updated right here.

It seems very unlikely Chelsea will be splashing £75m like last winter. They have announced huge losses this afternoon. Read more here... www.independent.co.uk

New Fulham signing Pavel Pogrebnyak has a way with words. He apparently told Russian media today that he had been warned by Fulham he will have to "bulk up like a beast" to be a hit in the Premier League.

Wigan have reportedly pulled out of the deal for Watford defender Adrian Mariappa, leaving Newcastle hopeful they can snatch his signature.

DONE DEAL: Blackburn have signed QPR defender Bradley Orr. "I think the age he's at gives us a little bit more experience in that position," said Rovers manager Steve Kean of the 29-year-old right-back.

Here, we take a look at some of the comments today on Twitter from The Independent's writers...

Ian Herbert - northern football correspondent
"Mancini asked if any players will be signed by tomorrow night. "No, no," he says #mcfc"

Glenn Moore - football editor
"Deadline Day not the same without Harry being doorstepped outside Spurs training ground. Doubt even he can buy players while in the dock"
