Nightmare in N17
In which Juande Ramos gets to grips with the team’s striking crisis.

After the Berbatov deal went through, says Mole, Ramos arrived one morning to find a new face in his squad…
“Ramos walks into training on the Friday, asks Fraizer Campbell who he was (as he’d never seen him before) and then picks him to start on the Saturday.”

DIFFERING POLICIES
Profit collected at White Hart Lane’s revolving door

It was revealed today on Sky Sports that just four Premier League teams made a profit over the summer and not one of them was Arsenal.
Blackburn made a net gain thanks to the £15 million they received for David Bentley and West Ham made the biggest profit of anyone after selling half of their first team. It is also being claimed that Chelsea made a profit but The Spoiler’s calculator doesn’t come to that conclusion (surely the £24.2 million spent on Deco and Jose Bosingwa exceeds the £19 million gained on Shaun Wright-Phillips, Steve Sidwell and Tal Ben-Haim?). The other team to have received more than they spent were Tottenham.
