The January Transfer Window 2011

The start of a new year brings around several inevitabilities:

• People's guilt about how much they've spent over Christmas,
• January sales for the people who didn't buy enough at Christmas,
• Tireless talk about the need to loose weight, and of course....
• Harry Redknapps favourite Christmas Present- the January transfer window.

It's a time of over-inflated prices, football agent's fax machines breaking down and frantic SkySports News reports on which Premier League Club's training ground Pascal Chimbonda's car is parked in.

Pascal Chimbonda - On the Move?

Get used to hearing - "We have reports Benjani is on his way to..." and "we hear a move is on the cards for Marcus Bent". I wouldn't be too surprised to hear that David Craig has spotted Eidur Gudjonsson at a KFC in Blackburn.

'Gazing through the Window' - What Do I expect to happen:

There are several certainties that will transpire:

• Man City's movements will cumulate in at least 78% of this window.
• West Ham will buy at least one average player.
• Nothing will happen in the North-East.
• Harry Redknapp's monthly phone bill go be over £1000
  
• Brian Swanson will convince himself he's the most important man in Britain at least once during transfer deadline day.
