interesting article from one man football think tank, j wilson on the rise of the spectacularly expensive signing..
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/jul/30/big-transfer-comfort-food-clubs
excerpt
"But what's really baffling is when fans start demanding transfers almost for the sake of it, as though they need a £30m deal every summer just to convince themselves they still support a big club. You see it on deadline day each window, people taking to Twitter and comments sections to berate their club for not being involved – when of course the truth is that, in the vast majority of cases, deals done on deadline day are hurried and not necessarily well-conceived. Or take the reaction among some Manchester United fans to the signing of Shinji Kagawa last season: there was a discussion to be had about his ability and his capacity to adapt, about where he'd fit in the team, but at least some expressed frustration he was "only" an £18m player. The urge to sign Cesc Fábregas seems to follow a similar logic: that United must somehow "prove" they are backing David Moyes by making a glamour signing.Or take Arsenal's sudden desire to spend, something so all-consuming that even Mikel Arteta has started talking about how exciting it is to be competing for big-name players. Arsenal, of course, have not actually signed anybody yet beyond the annual France youth international, but with others there is a horrible sense of clubs rushing around buying anything they clap their eyes on: a Mies van der Rohe chair here, a Turner seascape there, chuck in a Le Corbusier sofa, a Persian carpet and an Isamu Noguchi table – does it all fit together? Never mind, that's what Claudio's for."
Brilliant comments, loads of Spuds wetting the bed about monkey boy leaving...

Marlon King arrested for hit and run.
I hope they throw the book at him, and that the book is actually a grenade.

Everton are preparing a £15m offer for Wigan star James McCarthy even after being told the midfielder, 22, will not be allowed to leave for less than £20m
Are Everton the kind of club that can afford to spend £15m on a player like McCarthy?
Martinez is turning Everton into a Wigan MK II. -
It's a little old, but maybe it should be moved to the winter:

As a result of what extreme heat has the potential to do to the body (heart attack is rumoured to have killed Christian Benitez) it's probably a wise move. It's impossible to undertake any kind of exercise during the hotter periods of the day.
There's a disused camel racing track which Sheikh Mohammed has rather kindly had covered in tarmac that has three different length "laps" - 4, 6 & 8km. When I first arrived I thought I was doing well to go round the 8km track three times in the new-for-me extreme heat (bear in mind that November is significantly cooler) and the other guys were doing fifteen or twenty laps. Now I'm in a better position physically (and mentally) to ride further, the temperatures of 40deg at 7pm force even the seasoned riders here to only do a maximum of five or six laps. Keeping cool is really tough - I have to prepare two bottles (one of electrolytes/sugars/salts etc and one of water) and freeze them. Even before I get on my bike they've started to melt and by the time I've completed two laps they're starting to get warm and warm electrolyte drinks taste like stomach bile...
I'm clearly not a professional athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but I can understand the concern for the footballers in Qatar.
Anyway, why Qatar? There's even less there than there is here.

It would be like holding the WC at Alice Springs.

Fanks but no fanks
OMG yes yes yes.
The biggest cunt ever to grace the pitch. A match made in heaven -

I was wondering whether it was the extreme heat that was ultimately responsible for his heart attack. Your body just cannot cool down sufficiently enough in those temperatures.
The whole thing is crazy and almost certainly involved a few brown envelopes. It should be moved altogether. To europe
