However, activity has not always been this sedate at Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger making some surprising and at times, blockbuster signings in January.

Ever since Amado Guevara was shown the door, I've been clamoring for an actual #10 Creative Midfielder for our team - to absolutely no avail. That genius Bruce Arena (besides destroying our pretty good backline in 2007) saddled us with the perenially injured Claudio Reyna, who (as a defensive midfielder) was absolutely not the creative player we needed.

Since the transfer window was brought into effect by FIFA during the 2002/03 season, football fans throughout the UK have been glued to their televisions, computer screens and mobile phones, hoping for news of a blockbuster signing that will transform the fortunes of their club. With the clock ticking, cash-rich football clubs approach the looming [.

The Montreal Impact have continued to wheel and deal as Jesse Marsch shapes his roster, with the latest blockbuster coming Monday with Montreal dealing Seth Sinovic and an allocation to Sporting Kansas City for veteran midfielder Davy Arnaud.

The deal is a smart one for Kansas City, which gets back starting left back and hometown product Sinovic, while also parting with Arnaud, a captain who had lost his place in Sporting's central midfield.

Farewell Mikel Arteta, hello Ross Barkley? is a post from: Just Football

A friend of mine, an Arsenal supporter, sent me an e-mail about fifteen minutes after Mikel Arteta's £10m transfer to Arsenal went through. It began "Hope you're holding up OK," and ended "I feel bad that it went down like this.

Amid widespread rumors of Carlos Tevez seeking a transfer away from Manchester City this summer, influential defender Vincent Kompany has moved to dismiss any thoughts of a downfall in the club's fortunes. The Belgian center-back has been somewhat of a sensation for the Citizens, and he is adamant that no one player defines the club, and is certain that they will adjust should Tevez leave.

Good morning! It's matchday again @The Cathedral of Football. The opponent today are the team every MetroBulls fan loves to hate - DC United - aka The Forces of Darness (7:30pm ET, MSG). With the Red Bulls still on a high from Wednesday's destruction of TFC, will we see another massive victory today?

The league's oldest rivalry is, historically, a one-sided affair. D.C. United have traditionally treated New York the way a dog treats a fire hydrant, raining on NY's parade in the regular season, playoffs, Open Cup and more.

However, the tide has been turning over the past 18 months, punctuated by the 4-0 thrashing the Red Bulls put on United back in April.
