Transfer Window, Managers, Shopping, My Mrs. and Toasties

Post by JAM » Thu Sep 01, 2005 12:30 pm

It suddenly occurred to me in a rare moment of clarity yesterday evening whilst watching SSN that the transfer window makes football managers behave like my Mrs. on a shopping spree.

My point is that what ever happens she can't come home empty handed - doesn't matter what she comes home with as long as it's something.

Football managers seem to behave in the same way towards the end of the transfer window - doesn't matter who they buy as long as it's someone.

I'm sure we've all been guilty of buying something and deeply regreting it not long after, for example how often does the toastie maker come out of the back of the cupboard?

As a result of this I have two questions -

1) What's the most useless, uneconomical thing you've ever bought?

2) Which manager is waking up this morning wishing he still had the receipt from this summer's purchases?
This is supposed to be a man's game but it's full of namby-pamby, wet yer pants, frilly knicker wearing pansies.

The most useless thing I've ever bought is without doubt a coffee making machine, I don't even like coffee but Mrs. Bald Patch assured me she would use it and then discovered she couldn't work the foam making bit. She now buys packet cappucino's and thus wastes even more money.

The manager is possibly going to be Perrin or maybe Jol if the big names fail to pull their weight.

1) An exercise bike

2) Jols - I imagine he woke up confident in his new tactic of playing a 4-8-8 formation..... :crazy:

I bought one of those fruit juice machines where you put a piece of fruit in and it liquidises it. But after a few goes it became such a pain cleaning the whole thing out that I just put it in the cupboard for good. At first it was so exciting - buying alsorts of fruits to liquidise and different combinations. But the novelty wore off quickly.

Without doubt - Paul Jewell - £3m for David Connolly!!!! :shock: :crazy:

I have to say, as far as originality goes, this is an absolutely top idea for a thread!!!! :ok: And in answer to your questions Jam:


1) What's the most useless, uneconomical thing you've ever bought?

Would have to be a mini-disc player. Once considered the pinnacle of portable and recordable music - 'tis the future, I've listened to it.....and all that bollocks - they were quickly usurped (about 2 years later) my mp3 players and the I-Pod. So I bought one of them too. :oops:

2) Which manager is waking up this morning wishing he still had the receipt from this summer's purchases?

Got to be Sourpuss. Having dished over £9m for Luque (WWHHHHHOOO?) who, lets face it, has yet to be proven at Premiership level, he has now signed for a reported £17m Michael Owen. The St James faithfull will never allow ol' pig heart to drop their beloved Alan Shearer - so what happens to little Luque? Taxiiiiiiiiiii...............

1. A Coffee maker
2. Peter Reid with any of the following: Tore Andre Flo, Thomas Helmer (He told PR we needed to train with a ball - quickly released), Nicolas Medina (The next Maradona), Milton Nunez (we signed the wrong one!), Caarsten Fredgaard (the next Laundrup).

Surely you've missed out the worst of Reid's 'cock-up's' - £3.5 million for Lillan Laslandes!!!

Cracking player, though, but.

Knew he was doomed from the second he said:

"Play the ball to my feet and I'll show what I can do". In his press conference.

Reidy had a love for the long ball game. Bit like Sam.
