Roy the Wheeler Dealer

Just a few hours to go now until the end of the transfer window and it looks like our Roy's done quite a good bit of business. We've already seen Brede Hangeland and Leon Andreasen on the pitch - and both look very useful - while Eddie Johnson and fellow striker Erik Nevland should be in the squad soon. In addition, we've today got confirmation that the hugely experienced Jari Litmanen is here to the end of the season, as well as the signing of defender Toni Kallio from the curiously named Swiss side BSC Young Boys. In addition, Fifa still hasn't made up its mind yet about whether we're allowed to have Daniel Cousin due to this quite frankly bizarre, non-sensical rule about not being able to play for three games in a season. Why a decision is taking so long is totally beyond me. Bureaucratic nonsense.

I'm a bit amazed of the players Roy Hodgson has chosen to buy cause he is really defending type of coach and he buys just wingers and playmakers..

Correct if I'm wrong..

no i don't think you're wrong. the problem seems to be that lawrie's choices (and injuries it has to be said) seems to have left huge gaps in key areas. whether these guys can make a difference or not remains to be seen though eh?
