Thankfully by around 5pm this evening the circus will be over with, and by that I mean the constant speculation and counter speculation that permeates the modern day transfer window. I realise that to some fans the whole day represents a reason to get excited about potential last minute transfer deals. On the other hand there is usually as much substance to it all as there is in a plate of chilli without any chilli or spices.
The fanfare that has built up around it has become a ridiculous sideshow, and often a source of conversation in the media outlets when there is nothing at all to talk about. Sky Sports News is the worst criminal, every half an hour they reveal a ticking digital clock and yes, it really is counting down to the end of the transfer window- just in case you needed a reminder!
