There Is Only One Sinnacle

Hull striker Dean Windass has called off his loan move to Leeds United after being promised a run-out at Old Trafford to face champions Manchester United on Saturday. (The Sun)

Or, Windass could make his Leeds United debut at Cheltenham on Saturday after Hull agreed to fund half his wages. (Daily Mirror)

You know it’s going to be a slow news day when the first thing I read was about Dean Windass. Scored a great goal in getting Hull to the premiership last year but even I could put up a fight in a footrace against Windass.

Tottenham defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto wants to return to France with Paris Saint-Germain his preferred destination. (Daily Mirror)

I was all in favor of shipping Assou-Ekotto back in France in my Sinnacle takes on Tottenham article. I actually enjoyed writing that. Since I can’t think of a team yet to do my next article on if anyone has any ideas feel free to share.

Arsenal players were involved in a furious post-match bust-up following Wednesday’s 4-4 draw with local rivals Tottenham. (The Sun)

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger pulled no punches in a heated exchange with his Arsenal stars after their two-goal collapse to Spurs. (Daily Mirror)

I’d like to think this Arsenal team will learn from this slip up but I just don’t think they have the make up to do so. Arsenal have never replaced what Patrick Vieira brought to this team and in games like these it shows.

Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has been told he will have to sell in order to buy new players in the January transfer window. (The Times)

Who do Chelsea have to sell that always doesn’t currently feature in the first team? Wayne Bridge is always mentioned but he signed a new contract and could of forced a move in the summer if he really wanted to. Do Chelsea sell a good young player like Scott Sinclair? Even if they do how much would you really get in return for an unproven talent?

Besides for the most part the January transfer window is where bad teams over paid in order to make up for the mistakes in the summer transfer market. Top teams like Chelsea rarely bring in first team worthy players.
