Aberdeen? Bloody hell that's a commute for a home game!

I spent a few months living in Aberdeenshire last year. I liked the city but when I got out to the more rural areas (Turriff) I found the locals to be a bit anti-English. I never got that at all in the city though. It's a beautiful area of the island in which to live but far too remote for me. My weekly commute back to Essex was a killer!

In his blog today le-grove spoke about the transfer window in general and, just as I did yesterday, he absolutely mocked and ripped apart the whole notion of it being hard/impossible to buy quality in January

If we are genuinely interested in Costa and he doesn't want to move until after the world cup, why not trigger the release cause and loan him back for the rest of the season... I know it doesn't help this season, but if Draxler is coming as well in the summer (big if..i know) it'd make a nice fucking change to have players in place before the season starts.

If the World Cup is moved to winter 2014/15, it gives players a year to settle in if they move this month. No FIFA decision yet though, despite today's comments.
