What a beaut

 

"There is no-one to blame for us not getting other players in before the transfer deadline. It is the window to blame," he explained.

 

[smithdown]

Good isn't he?

 

"How can you stop someone from getting a job? What other business would allow this?"

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Ah - the stealth transfer window. Creeps up on you & before you know it, it's shut.

 

What a bell. Footy isn't like all other business, otherwise the same person could own more than one club. Is he going to whinge about that too?

 

"We have spent £15m on Damien Duff and Oba Martins, who we believe are real quality signings - and that after paying out £28m for Michael Owen and Albert Luque this time last year.

 

"We also beat off a lot of other Premiership teams to get Giuseppe Rossi in from Manchester United.

 

"Antoine Sibierski has come in as a squad member, we have got Olivier Bernard back and Shay Given on a new five-year contract."

 

 

Owen & Duff will spend forever injured; we know what the mags think of Sibierski; Bernard & Given aren't exactly new signings are they?
