WHAT DO YOU do when your team gets ruthlessly destroyed by a better side?
Most managers would either admit they weren’t good enough or resign? Harry Redknapp has blamed the transfer window for his team’s multiple inadequacies.
Speaking of embattled managers, Arsenal fans can’t seem to decide whether it should be ‘In Arsene We Trust’ or ‘In Arsene We Thrust’ (sorry!) following the differing reactions that have greeted their recent results.
They at least look set to complete a move for Park Chu-young, though it seems as if buying a striker should be the least of their concerns in light of yesterday’s proceedings.
And as if things couldn’t get any worse for Wenger, another of his players – Armand Traore – is set to leave the club, seriously depriving him of recognised left-backs in the process.
And which club has Traore decided he would prefer to spend him time at, rather than staying with the sinking ship that is Arsenal? Answer: QPR. Words fail me on this one.
Belatedly realising that their defence is rubbish following the concession of eight goals in two matches (at least it wasn’t in one game), Tottenham will challenge Arsenal for the signature of Gary Cahill.
Finally, Shaun Wright-Phillips will join QPR because Joey Barton told him to sign for the Premier League new boys.
Seriously, taking advice from Joey Barton really isn’t something anyone should consider doing. EVER.
Ill-advised prospective deal of the day: Sunderland are looking to buy Peter Crouch. For all his aerial ability and deft touch for a big man, the fact remains that the player scored a grand total of 4 goals in 29 appearances last year.
Advised prospective deal of the day: Fulham will look to sign Juventus’ Zdenek Grygera, Birmingham’s Cameron Jerome and Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace. And judging by their early-season form, they need to buy someone. And fast.
