A lot of managers have spoken out against this player merry-go-round, and I have to agree wholeheartedly with them. There's no good reason for it, the only justification I can think of is at a buerocratical level to synchronise the process across leagues and regions.
I also presume the authorities believe this will minimise potential player unrest and tapping up. The thing is, transfer talk still forms the daily staple of every newspaper, as the agents do their day-to-day business of blowing tempting tit-bits up the ar**holes of a few lazy "can't think of a better story today" sports journalists.
Anyway, back at Planet Valley, I have a suggestion for Pards and the Charlton board now we can officially conduct player business again.
It's a simple - Don't sell anyone. Anyone. Not even the tea lady.
I know we're a selling club, but practically every attacking player we've ever sold bloody scores against us. In the last 5 years I can think of Defoe, Parker, Jensen, and now even Kevin bloody Lisbie is in on the act. Even Danny Shittu hit the bar against us in pre-season a few years back at QPR, and Bryan Hughes had one disallowed earlier in the season at the KC.
We're jinxed aren't we? Without those goals from Jensen and Defoe, Fulham could have gone down and we might even have stayed up.
If you're listening Mr Murray - I know we're a bit skint after the recent financial report, but please don't sell anyone! Unless we really, really have to of course. If that's the case, you can offload them to anyone except:
- Any other Championship club
- Derby, Wigan or Boro
- Swansea, Forest or Leeds
At this rate we'll be playing them all next year - please spare me another Lisbie moment!!
