The Lie: We WILL sign someone. The greatest lie of the transfer window is that everyone will be doing business and that all fans should be tuned in to Sky Sports until well after the 11pm deadline hour. Don't blink, don't get washed and don't dare question the importance of Stoke reserve players moving on loan to the Turkish second division. But then you wouldn't anyway, because the single biggest liar involved in any and every transfer window is you. No matter how many times your heart is broken by missed opportunities, or frustrated by seeing targets move to rivals, you lie to yourself every time that this is the year that your club will buy someone right up until the last minute. Whether you support Wycombe or Arsenal, you believe foolishly that your side is about to do a bit of magic and sign that one player who will change everything. And even when they don't, you'll be in the exact same position in 6 months time at the end of the winter window...
