		<description><![CDATA[One of the most inactive January windows in recent seasons for UK clubs, ended with the most ‘exciting’ gossip being around the likes of Adam Johnson and Victor Moses (hardly the most scintillating stuff). Maxi Rodriguez and Robbie Keane may well prove useful additions to Liverpool and Celtic respectively, while Robinho’s departure from Man city can surely be as good as any signing, but all in all this year’s winter sales seemed to go buy with many shoppers seemingly uninterested and deciding to stick with what they have already got, in these financially turbulent times. Despite wrapping up a deadline day deal for Asmir Begovic, Tony Pullis has called for an end to the ‘circus’ of the January window and many other managers seem to echo his sentiments. As viewers however, the January window provides terrific entertainment, as our teams fight for new signings while simultaneously trying to fend off the leering advances of others eyeing up our star players. There have been some truly memorable signings over the years which have (for one reason or another) have had more impact than a Roy Keane slide tackle and ultimately turned a club’s season one way or the other. Here I have tried to list, what I think, are the top ten best and worst Premier League January signings of recent times. Enjoy!]]></description>

Egypt completed a hat-trick of African Cups back to back in Angola, while in London Man Utd overcame serial ‘bottlers’ Arsenal in a ‘crucial’ game in the race for the Premier League title.  All over the world on the 31/1/10 it seemed like a day to represent the predictability of modern football. Some aspects and results seem just too unsurprising to the seasoned viewer and surely sustained dominance by some sides is surely good for no-one. ‘Viva la status quo’ may be an uninspiring sentiment to live by. Depressing? Maybe. But maybe not… ]]></description>
