To be honest it may be September but I can’t wait till Christmas as I want to see how much Mark Hughes has to spend in his little Christmas kitty. I was amazed when I was told that Manchester City made five separate bids of over £30million for five different players on transfer deadline day. That’s incredible enough, but for me no-one has talked about the fact for the first time Chelsea were out-battled in a transfer over an amount of money!

As the money-orientated Premier League continues to invest in big money, big name signings fewer and fewer young players are progressing from the academies into the various first teams.
