Well this is it, clubs have approximatly 4 hours to get any last minute signings in. Doubt there will be nymore at Wigan now although i wouldn't be surprised if one goes out in account of one (Marlon King) in.
The gossip columns in the local newspapers and on news sites are hilarious, my girlfriends nephews dads cousin etc etc and almost always they something ridic like Ronaldinho spotted in the DeVere Whites hotel in Bolton going over a 5 year deal. Some notable (serious by the way!) mentions today include:
- Benjani to Man City
- Defoe to Portsmouth
Erm..... and thats it really! Nothing especially exciting has happened, no big name players making mega moves, and no past it stars transferring to 2nd division clubs. Boring!
The transfer window gets critisised a lot, but i like it. Adds a bit of excitement into our lives in the miserable month of January when everyone (apart club chairmen obvs!) is skint, fed up and longing for sun. They're not daft arranging the African Nations Cup in January! It also gives us something to talk about in summer when there's no football to watch and everyone's eagerly awaiting the announcement of next seasons fixtures, planning who's birthday is going to be given a miss and which aways will be attended. Oohs and Aaahs as it turns out that coincidently the 'big 4' have all been drawn together on the same weekend and which matches will be tense on the last day. I'm all for the transfer window, what fun would it be if we could sign players every day of the week. What would be the fun in that!
