Phew! After all the panic surrounding the closure of the transfer window last night, it's time to pick through the dust and debris and see where it leaves the relegation-threatened Poppies. Still relegation threatened by the look of it!
The good news is that we haven't resigned former Morrell favourites Moses Ukelele, Paris Okay, Marcel McVities or Serge Make-f*ck-up. One can only assume they've changed their mobile phone numbers since Morrell last spoke to them, or they are not all registered with the same agent we seem to use these days....
The good news is that we have encouraged some players to put pen to paper. Obviously they are an ethnically diverse bunch with equally exotic names such as Jean-Sylvain Dossou and Ibra Sekajja, as well as old friend of PATGOD and opposition strikers, Nathan Koo Boothe.
We assume Dossou is the same player who froze on the halfway line against Cambridge last week and generally spent his time on the pitch looking like a crying-rabbit caught in the headlights of an onrushing lorry? This doesn't exactly tally with his description on the Official Conference Website which refers to him as "a tough-tackling midfielder....."
Two of the other substitutes from Monday have also signed on - Oliver Jones and Robbie Dance. Can't see them getting much of a run out with such bland, distinctly non-ethnic names, but time, and our increasing injury list will tell.
On the subject on transfers and injuries it was curious to see everyone's favourite German- Canadian England International Owen Hargreaves move across the city of Manchester yesterday after passing a medical! This guy has spent the past three years barely able to pass water! What the hell passes for a medical in Manchester these days if he could pass it? Obviously his shattered limbs and rampant bed sores were not taken into account! The good news for him is that by moving only a few miles he could retain his usual room at the local hospital!
