Today is Transfer Deadline Day. A day in essence I don’t agree with, but for some strange reason find compelling viewing on Sky Sports News. Natalie and Jim will be gargling salted water to protect their voices, ahead of tonight’s exciting shift.
I enjoy the adrenalin rush in Jim Whites voice when something’s about to happen and pan over to the reporter freezing outside a training ground. Nothing has happened but the reporter is carried along in the enthusiasm and makes something up. They cross again to the same reporter moments later and have missed the arrival or departure of a top star. To be told, with a finger pointing towards a helicopter or champion the wonder horse, they are just leaving. It is great T.V, although the wife doesn’t think so.
That actually sounds that I’m knocking the staff at Sky Sports News. In no way am I, they have no control in timing and their reactions and responses to all these situations are fantastic. The managers have, I’m sure, come to play along with it. Transfer Deadline Day is to stay and the Sky Sports coverage has become an institution with Jim White a legend. Natalie Sawyer plays her part, with those looks that scream ‘calm down Jim’.
The rumours have started. Kevin Davies is about to extend his stay at Bolton, which means Mackem O’Neil will turn his attentions to Emile Heskey, possibly. That comes from a bloke in an Aston Cafe eating a full English. Wayne Bridge is poised to move to Sunderland having a medical as we speak confirmed, well almost.
Thomas Eisfeld is set to join the Gunners from Dortmund, but supposedly not to go straight into the first team. Speaks French, so should be fine.
Liam Ridgewell is set for the Baggies. Adding to his ‘second city’ set, Villa, the Blues and now West Brom. Bets are now available a BetJasper for when he will move to Walsall.
Ravel Morrison, a footballing talent, who enjoys the ball at his feet and passes along the ground. He is reportedly nearing a deal with Big Sam and the Happy Hammers. Still, improve his neck muscles.
Rangers striker, Nikica Jelavic, who has been linked with a host of clubs, seems to be happy with Moyesy at Everton.
Chelsea has signed Kevin De Bruyne form Ghent. Their West London neighbours, QPR – who I predict will be very busy today, have offloaded Bradley Orr to Blackburn Rovers. Steve Keen will be popular, signing players as promised.
Outside the Premier league is exciting too. Bournemouth signed Matt Tubbs from Crawley yesterday are about to sign Matt Ritchie form Swindon.
Dave Andrews, John Still are yet to make an impact on TTD., I believe Tevez is available Dave – he would do well at the Daggers.
Still 13.5 hours to go – exciting. Good luck Natalie for tonight and trying to control Jim.
