Has this been the most uneventful transfer window on record or what? the most exciting things that has happened is Harry Redknapp having a bank account called Rosy, and stashing millions.

have Sky made up any transfer stories today? They must be beside themselves at the lack of activity. Has the "Sky Sports Understands".... ever been used less during a transfer window than this one?

edit: yes, I hate it too. The window should just stay open from July 1st until the last day of January or February and be done with it.

To be honest, I'm quite happy with it. The transfer circus makes me sick.

Yes, I like speculating on targets and all that like the next man but they've made it into some vulgar sideshow with their pathetic countdown clock/big ben, money totals like it's children in need, twats with mobile phones, Harry fucking Redknapp blabbing to anybody who'll listen and various imbeciles camped outside training grounds with a bunch of desperately ugly chavs milling around behind them screaming some illegible nonsense.

It does honestly make me cringe and want to vomit my ribcage up.

Absolutely Maz.  It's vulgar.
Nowadays - I'm officially old - players are pretty much solely rated based on their transfer value whereas their ability to pass/tackle/shoot etc are largely ignored.

Certain players indeed do carry their alleged potential and transfer value with them throughout their playing days. This is usually based on a couple of good seasons at the beginning of their careers such as  . . . cough, splutter . . . err . .  Heskey.

Could it be that Mr Redknapp is otherwise engaged, so no stories or rumours are available

Have Man City spend any more on new player this winter ? I think we might have one more deal in 4 millions pounds range coming. But it is boring transfer windows, and African Nations cup will means some team is hanging on their players.

So this is what transfer windows will be like when 'arry Redknob is dead? 

I could get used to this...

Is that sick as in kids speak "good" or the correct term of sick?

I liked the look of Zaha of Palace quite a raw talent but looks like he's got a lot of promise.

He reminds me of CN'Zog, he plays in the same way I think.
