Premiership Transfer Window Review – Part One

Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

The January transfer window gave Premiership clubs the opportunity to add new players or ship out those surplus to requirements. David Walker looks at who came and went and how these moves will impact on each team’s success.

Arsenal

The Gunners have invested in the next generation of young talent after a disastrous season. Vassiriki Diaby joined from Auxerre and Togo striker Manuel Adebayor arrived from Monaco but the most talked about transfer was the capture of Southampton’s 16 year old Theo Walcott. The transfer fee could rocket to £12 million.

Quincy Owusu-Abeyie and Jeremie Aliadiere joined Spartak Moscow and Wolves respectively while David Bentley joined Blackburn permanently.

Such change is vital to both Arsenal’s immediate and future success. They currently lie in sixth place but a massive 25 points behind leaders Chelsea. The bookmakers aren’t convinced and offer them at 12/1 in the “without Chelsea” market to win the Premiership.

Aston Villa

After a pre-season transfer investment with very little to show for it, there have been no more funds made available. The Villains, despite spending £11 million on new players in the summer, are only seven points clear of relegation.

Nonessential Air Service

Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

I’m going skiing in Vermont next month for a few days. As always, I’ll toss my stuff into the car and drive, but there is a government-subsidized alternative.

For about $159 each way, I could fly from Westchester County Airport in suburban New York to Lebanon, N.H., which is about 20 minutes from my Vermont lodgings. The flight itself would last about an hour and twenty minutes. Including time to get to the airport, get off the plane and rent a car, the whole trip would take around four hours.

That means I can save a total of about 15 minutes by flying rather than driving, assuming the flight actually leaves on time.

Yet, according to the U.S. government, the ability to fly from Westchester to Lebanon is essential. It is also essential to have flights between Lebanon and Boston, which is just a two-hour drive away (a drive that goes directly past a good-sized airport in Manchester, N.H.), and from various other regional centers around the country to tiny airports in 152 communities.
