It’s been a very quiet transfer window, as one would expect given the current economic climate and the fact that the club who most needs signings – Portsmouth – can’t realistically make any.

But where does the real value lie, and who’s dropped the ball? Continue reading →
February 2nd, 2010 — European Football, Premiership
No signings for any of the big four. 70% of completed Premiership deals were loans. The biggest news of the day involved a player not joining, but leaving the Premiership. On loan. Whatever happened to the once thrilling transfer deadline day? Continue reading →
