Sunderland goalkeeper, Marton Fulop has joined fellow Premier League club, Manchester City on a 'Emergency Loan' deal until the end of the season.
It comes after Shay Given dislocated his shoulder at Arsenal last weekend, aparently leaving City with just one goalkeeper, a bloke called Gunnar Neilson, Faroe Island's third choice shot stopper.
OK, so he clearly isn't that good if he can't get a game for the Faroe's, but why sign him then? Manchester City claim they don't have any other 'keepers...so they play without one in the youth team do they? Of course not, they have seven goalkeepers on their books.
But of course, this is an emergency isn't it. An emergency just like a earthquake, or the Icelandic volcano. Yeah, an emergency. Manchester City have dialed 999 and got the Idiotic Premier League Decision Making department. It is a simple case of bad luck. Teams have squad's for a reason, for moments like this. This is an opportunity for other players to have a crack at the top level.
I wonder if Tottenham had lost Crouch, Defoe and Pavlyuchenko could they apply for a emergency striker? Why have Man City been allowed this. I'm not saying they have been given preferential treatment, because no one else has been denied. But why have the rules been relaxed. Why have rules and not inforce them (I'm referring to the transfer window).
I find it laughable to be honest.
Why have a transfer window at all? Scrap that and there wouldn't be an issue.
