My first post on The Pyblog. I first must explain that I created this blog to write about things that I deem newsworthy, as well as music reviews, the footie, and for the occasional angry, futile rant.
So I may as well get right into it.
Last night marked the end of the summer transfer window for English football clubs. As always, the last day of the transfer season was a tense affair - unless of course you couldn't care less about English football. I do care. However, being a Sunderland supporter, it's best not to care too much as it will inevitably end in disappointment.
This transfer day deadline kicked off with Scott Parker moving to Tottenham. A good signing? Definitely, as Parker was arguably one of the most consistently performing players last season. Harry Redknapp can sniff out a bargain, although apparently can't smell anything else.
Stoke bought Spurs' Peter Crouch and Wilson Palacios, and Birmingham's Cameron Jerome, as they continue their long term goal of creating a team full of bouncers.
Arsenal have lost three of their best players this transfer season. Unfortunately coach Arsene Wenger was seemingly the last person to realize that this would be a problem. But after losing 8-2 to Man Utd last weekend, the Gunners finally splashed out some money and bought a host of decent players - defenders Per Mertesacker and Andre Santos, Everton's Mikel Arteta, and Israeli international Yossi Benayoun. Good for Arsenal.
Queens Park Rangers were another club who were busy yesterday, signing Anton Ferdinand off Sunderland (not a big disappointment I'll admit) and Shaun-Wright Phillips. Chelsea signed Liverpool midfielder Raul Meireles, while Fulham edged out Newcastle (*smug grin*) to sign some bloke called Ruiz from FC Twente.
Meanwhile Liverpool's Joe Cole joined FC Lille, and the growing now of English internationals daring enough to venture outside of the UK. The list is now up to three. That's a crowd.
The most unlikely transfer of the lot - Owen Hargreaves to Man City. Why? I mean really? The poor guy hasn't played for about three years. But I suppose at City he'll be making enough, even if we never see him played.
And finally Sunderland. We'll we've signed "one of the best strikers in the world" - and in his own words too. Yep that's right, Sunderland have signed Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner, one of the most confident strikers in the world, on loan.
I'm sure Arsenal fans will 8-2 see him leave.
Eheheh :)
