'Time for everyone to just calm down a bit. Do something else for a bit. Watch the cricket because there’s nothing crazy happening there.' tickerscricket on a frantic and deranged transfer window...
Why does this transfer window feel so frantic and deranged? It’s way too loud and it’s not even JulyDate published: Monday 27th June 2022 8:43 -I know transfer windows have brought out the madness for as long as they’ve existed but for reasons understandable and not, this one feels the most febrile.allAnd even by transfer window standards, the speed and size of the mood swings feels particularly unhinged this summer.
Arsenal have gone from the depths of despair at missing out on Champions League football to being touted for a title challenge after a couple of signings that don’t exactlyrevolutionary. There are already people out there describing Gabriel Jesus – a very good player for sure – as the 20-goal striker they’ve been looking for.
Across north London we have Spurs who, already giddy on their pilfering of the final Champions League spot, promptly won the transfer window before May was even done by signing Ivan Perisic. Again, there came talk of a title challenge on the back of an admittedly very good and uncharacteristically early transfer foray, since backed up by the arrival of Yves Bissouma. It’s good business but City and Liverpool aren’t likely to be too worried about the footballquake in north London, surely.
is a genuinely massive thing, and a huge coup for the Premier League and its Bestest League Ever status. For all that the Premier League has been so good for so long, it still marks a relatively rare instance of a bona fide superstar moving to England at the peak of their powers. Waning superstars have moved to England. Players have become superstars in England. Rarely have they done what Haaland has done and split the difference.
Then you’ve got Manchester United and Chelsea, who haven’t signed any new first-team players yet despite it being only days from the unofficial closing of the Early Business transfer window.
