You Mean They Don't Do This All Year?

So much has transpired since my last post! Today was deadline day for all EPL player transfers with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United sticking to their guns. None of the Big Four decided to increase their payrolls or dole out several million pounds on last-minute prospects.

However, Tottenham snapped up Croatian midfielder Niko Kranjcar, who previously topped Arsenal's short list, beating out interest from Everton. This is yet another example of Harry "Houdini" attracting quality talent. Surely, the ex-Portsmouth player will be in pleased to leave Pompey's sinking ship and bolster the Tottenham midfield.

Everton made amends acquiring Johnny Heitinga from Athletico Madrid for 6M pounds. The 25 year old is a versatile defender that can play defensive midfield when called upon. He should fill in nicely for the void at center back due to Joleon Lescott's absence. I am interested to see how well he adapts to the Premier League as the Eiredivisie is nearly a universe away in playing style.

Well, continue to check regularly for football(soccer) updates, musings, and additional miscellaneous information. I will try to update the page more regularly as I have more time with Fall's arrival.

Cheers!
