Arsenal missed out on signing Mark Schwarzer for 4m after Fulham were denied a move for Crystal Palace's 1.5m-rated goalkeeper Julian Speroni. The Cottagers were also thwarted when they tried to land Brazilian keeper Alexander Doni from Roma, but a season-long loan deal could not be arranged in time before the transfer window closed.
