Football Daily | Alexander Isak, the final boss of this summer’s transfer window

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!“Winning the transfer window” is common parlance these days, despite its entire premise lacking anything like common sense. Some players come good/go bad quicker/slower than others. But such is the binary nature of football’s unrelenting push towards being a mercantile, rather than sporting pursuit, that Football Daily is all too happy to throw itself into such nonsense. It’s what we’re here for, in all honesty.I don’t know about Ashley Young running legendary north London boozer the Faltering Fullback (yesterday’s Football Daily). But he could probably get a game. The Fullback will be making its debut in a London vets league this season and players need to be 40 years old/young. Enquire within, Ashley. Training’s in Finsbury Park most some weeks” – Dan Ashley.I hate to be that person, but I want to avoid the erasure of Grimsby Town’s link with footballing history. Tony Ford didn’t spend the majority of his career in Lancashire (yesterday’s Football Daily), he spent the majority on the banks of the River Humber where the salty air from the mudflats no doubt prolonged his career, allowing him to finish it at Rochdale. Some 444 games in total with two spells at the Mariners, with time spent in Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire and the West Midlands in between” – Mark Gill.Is everyone still arguing about the north and south of England (Football Daily letters passim)? Thankfully I live in New Zealand, where the north and south are conveniently divided into different islands. If you followed the example of New Zealand, the Solent would be the dividing line, and residents of the Isle of Wight would refer to it as the mainland” – Tim Scanlan.This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.
