Not so much

I thought Armageddon would hit the English Premier League as well. Except Manchester City (reserved for another day), the other clubs seem to be playing it safe. Too safe, for my liking.

Yes, there have been crazy and monstrous bids from Chelsea and Manchester United for certain players. The likes of Pato, Maicon, Ribery, Benzema and co have been subject to bids from the big clubs from England. But, nothing concrete has happened yet.

On the contrary, it is the cash strapped (supposedly) Liverpool who have made the first big money signing (Glen Johnson) among the big four of the EPL. I would be amazed if the transfer window ends like this.

More to come, I assume.

Armageddon

What a summer of transfers it has been already. To think, it has just started.

In the day of the so called financial crisis, ridiculous amounts of money have been flying around and my guess is, they will continue to do so. The past 2 weeks in football has dwarfed anything that has happened in the past.

My only worry is this. I hope (sincerely) that whatever happens this summer (the entire summer) will not have negative effects in the future. There is a distinct possibility of many clubs doing a Leeds or a Newcastle even.

As a Liverpool fan, I think, Liverpool's financial worry at this moment of time is a blessing in disguise. This should be the time to be smart, consolidate, and not be carefree.

This summer might go a long way in deciding football's future. Armageddon, on the cards...

P.S. More to come on individual deals in the market. Stay tuned.
