Transfer Window: 5 Over-Used Cliches

3. Undisclosed Fee

Transfer-Deadline-Day €˜We have signed Joe Bloggs on an undisclosed fee€™ Why, just why? Not why have the club signed Joe Bloggs, he€™s merely a fictional example but why have they done it for an undisclosed fee. The simple reason this frustrates me is when a player leaves your club for an undisclosed fee, it often makes me think that we may have let go of a player of considerable quality for a price that they know is very generous and they just don€™t want to tell us. Some clubs never bother revealing what they are spending on players and it must become really frustrating for fans. Whilst we are not in charge of the club we pump our money in to keep it going and some of us like to know where that money is going.
