Gary Cahill: "It's Been a Crazy Week" After Transfer Window and England Goal

Gary Cahill, if you would like to use a comparison, is the Gareth Bale of this year's English Premier League.

Last season he was known to many, putting in a few good performances here and there. As things would seem this year, Cahill has started the Premier League season brilliantly. His form for club earned him a call up to England's Euro qualifier against Bulgaria, and once again, the Bolton central defender did not disappoint, scoring a goal in England's 3-0 domination of Bulgaria.

Cahill was also caught up in transfer rumours regarding a possible move to Premier League clubs Arsenal and Tottenham. At times it seemed that he was on his way out from Bolton, although, by the end of the window he remained at his club, much to the delight of his supporters.

Reflecting upon his first few weeks, especially this week, Cahill told reporters "It's been a crazy week, mentally more than anything. I tried not to let it bother me and, in a way, there is not much you can do about it. Am I disappointed nothing happened [in terms of a transfer]? I can't really comment on that to be honest with you ... Sometimes it is not always great when you make last-minute decisions but there was no decision for me to make."

The thought of a possible transfer hindered Cahill's preparations for the match against Bulgaria, saying "All that stuff before the game is not ideal by any means. But the window was shut Wednesday evening, I knew where I was going to be, so I could settle my head. I could refocus then on the most important thing which is playing for my country."

Cahill went on to start for England, putting in a great performance and bagging the opener. He will surely play a huge part in England's Euro 2012 campaign.
