Dave Littlefield

Kofi Annan
“We' think we've had a good season and when you add the best player in our league at the deadline for free, it's a good thing. He's familiar with our team, with the coaches and surroundings. We really see no downside to it.”

Shea Coogler
“It may go to the wire as far as the transfer deadline is concerned, but I am determined not to buy a player just for the sake of it.”
Alan Pardew
“With the trading deadline approaching Oct. 18, we'd like to put an end to the swirling rumors that Philip Rivers is available for trade. Phillip Rivers will be a Charger for the remainder of the season.”
