You've all forgotten something important about transfers

Which is that thanks to pants, Worthy found out about Bidnapper and he now uses it for all his transfer dealings. That's how we got Earnie at the last moment: he was just about to resign himself to another six months on the bench when POW!! Worthy's Bidnapper deadline expired, the winning bid of 2.405m and 51p (just in case) was emailed through and the opposition had no time to respond.

He'll have done exactly the same before heading off with his lilo, Jilly Cooper novels and suncream. He's spent ages tapping all the details in. Then he relaxes by the pool, letting Bidnapper take care of all that stressful transfer activity.

It also enables him to have a good laugh at our expense as we all go mad about the lack of activity. "Ha ha I've got the sityouayshun well under controal notmean. Let's just double check the bids ... ?300,005.51 for Russell Perrett from Luton, big strong boy, do a job for us somewhere in defence; ?450,009.51 for Giles Barnes, he's not getting much of a look-in at Derby, sure we could bring him along, very versatile notmean; and ?600,599.51 for Barry Hayles from Millwall, bit pricey but you have to pay for experience notmean, and I love buying strikers. There we are - ?1.5m spent, team strengthened throughout, no fancy dans or bigname bigheads, all bids set to be made at 10pm on last day of the transfer window, job done game on turning corner notmean."
