3 weeks running his column has been dedicated to the Tim Howard deal.
Why was he not concerned by the practice of making gentleman's agreements for the last 12 years when they have been common in the Premier League.
Andy Cole - Newcastle to United
Gillespie - United to Newcastle
Danny Murphy - Charlton to Spurs
Robbie Savage - Birmingham to Blackburn
Robbie Fowler - city to Liverpool
All of these, and probably more, were subject to the same kind of agreement but only now he gets on his high-horse.
Wouldn't be because he's a West Ham fan would it?
