Few noticed last week when Juande Ramos called for a shortening of the transfer window, but the
nuclear fallout from Monday's race to the finish seems to support his argument. Prior to Monday,
Robinho had been settling in nicely at for another season at Real Madrid, Kevin Keegan was sorting
out his first proper [.
Like yesterday, these are just the players from my time supporting Spurs. I'm sure there are some
shockers I've omitted from further back!

wants his teammate.
Rafa says he doesn't intend to freeze him out and may also look to extend his contract. It sounds

RAFAEL BENITEZ has assured Jermaine Pennant he won't freeze him out at Liverpool.
The Anfield manager was prepared to let the winger leave the club during the recent transfer
window.
Pennant had talks with both Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers but ultimately declined the advances of
both clubs.
