Transfer Window Madness

[Snibbo]

Good critique IMHO

"There are two notable things about the last month's business. First, around half of the league's total £300m outlay was spent by the bottom five clubs in the Premier League, money disbursed out of fear rather than hope, at a time when falling out of the top tier can have disastrous consequence.

And second the headline deals have tended to involve football's version of toxic human assets, transfers driven by the urge to save money as much as spend it. This is a new breed of elite player: out there circling the globe like radioactive waste ships, passed from port to port, turned toxic by their own contracts of employment."
