Here we go again.
It’s 7.59 a.m. and most people think that’s too early to put your balls on those cold rails.
But here goes.
I’m here to pass on what I think is true from the kaleidoscope we call the transfer market, which moves in slow motion in July.
In August it speeds up, shakes itself more often, so that some names disappear and others re-appear.
The kaleidoscope sparkles, surprises, then changes, changes again, and becomes a firework show in the last week of August, with Roman candles, bangers and big rockets.
Arsenal will sign Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka very soon.
Don’t say : It’s amazing that Wenger is signing two English centrebacks.
Do say : Myles knows what he’s talking about.
Don’t say : He’s doing this to wind us up.
Do say : He’s consistent. He’s always said : I’m here to tell you what I think. If I don’t do that, I’m cheating my readers and wasting my time.
