Jim White.... take a breath

Another January transfer day full of hot air.

Aston Villa did buy a couple of teenagers and Sunderland splashed out on a Newcastle fan but other than 'Arry increasing QPRha's debt burden, Arsenal were the days surprise big spenders. Goalkeeping prospect Jack Butland moved to Stoke but the headlines were once again grabbed by David Beckham, who signed for PSG until the end of the season and will donate his salary, believed to be worth a total of around £3 million, to children's charities.

Scouring Twitter tonight he was still getting stick and some people's jealously knows no bounds. According to reports Beckham will receive no remuneration whatsoever, including signing-on fees or shares in his new club.

All PSG will pay for are accommodation and security expenses for Beckham and his family while they are in Paris but he will be paid nothing else.

On a day when Sky Sports and other media incites English football's greed even more and self-obsessed agents collect bundles of used notes left in brown envelopes I think Beckham's gesture was a gracious kick in the balls to players with a lot less talent and class like Peter Odemwingie. Oh to be a fly on the wall at West Brom's training ground tomorrow.
