Everton boss Roberto Martinez last night sealed a triple swoop for James McCarthy, Romelu Lukaku and Gareth Barry to bring a dramatic end to transfer deadline day at Goodison Park.
The expected departure of Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United enabled Martinez to match Wigan chairman Dave Whelan's £13million valuation of McCarthy, while Lukaku and Barry arrived on one-year loan deals.
Fellaini completed his £27.5million move to Manchester United after a long period of speculation which included the Belgian driving to Everton's training ground to hand in a deadline-day transfer request.
