As an arsenal and southend fan not much action for either of my teams but their are a few days left.
Though yes i do think the transfer window is a stupid idea
The bigger teams at the top are either spending very little (Larsson-Man United) or even nothing at all (Arsenal? Chelsea? Liverpool?).
Go back twelve months, when Harry Redknapp had just gone back to Fratton Park, and the players came flooding in - many of whom came down from White Hart Lane.
I don't expect to see Hargreaves move either. Neither would I anticipate too many other moves elsewhere, even in the final hours of deadline day. As a United fan, I'd really liked to have seen us invest more in our midfield. The first eleven's very strong, but behind that lies a lot of youth and inexperience. Larsson's a great deal, but what happens after March if Saha and Rooney can't find their form?
We're all aware someone's about ready to explode behind closed doors at Chelsea. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mourinho walks away in the summer. The team clearly needs to invest in its defence and because they're not, they are struggling to catch Man United. Abramovich clearly isn't a football man after all if he expects his team to win games playing eleven up front!
On another note, I still believe this Transfer Window system to be a complete and utter disaster. This is why our league is so damn stale and predictable, two months in to a new season. If struggling clubs can't invest when they need to and can get some valauble points early on, how can they be expected to survive?
What good has sacking Ian Dowie done when neither of his replacements have had half a decent chance to bring in their own players and build their own team?
Why do we have to follow the suit laid out by the rest of Europe?
I'm not expecting a lot of big moves. It'll be a lot of small moves from smaller clubs I think.
