The end of August marks the crazy period for football clubs when they need to complete transfers at the last moment before the now infamous transfer deadline.
Most countries in Europe shut up shop this evening, but due to the face that there is a Bank Holiday in Britain today, football fans will get at least another 24 hours of hype and madness to look forward to.
The next day or so will be made even more complicated by the staggered times at which windows close in each country. Clubs need to have their new players bought before the deadline but can still sell players one their window shuts.
For example, Real Madrid have until midnight tonight to try and buy David De Gea from Manchester United, but if United wanted to buy a player from a La Liga club they have an extra 18 hours until 6pm tomorrow.
