I just tried searching for a quote along these lines but couldn't find it. Could've sworn I read such sentiments a while back. Hey ho, crap memory syndrome strikes again!
Indeed. In fact, didn't one of them say that fans were going to be "very very excited" by our transfer activity this window? (Or have I misremembered them saying that?). I'm still waiting patiently to feel that level of excitement but I trust it's not far away now...
Other than justifying the existence of Sky Sports News twice a year, what's the point of transfer windows at all? I don't recall it being an issue that clubs could sell or buy players whenever they wanted throughout the year back in the day. Maybe I'm missing something obvious...
