Liverpool football chief Damien Comolli admits he found little joy from last January's winter market success.
The Reds pulled off two great deals with the captures of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.
But Comolli told liverpoolfc.tv: "It's not enjoyable at the time because there is so much stress and so much going on. Being involved in three massive deals within five or six days is not very enjoyable.
"You can only enjoy it afterwards when you reflect on it and you think 'I think we have done well'. Only time will tell but even on deadline night and the next day I thought it was good.
"But only when it's finished can you relax a bit and start enjoying the work you have done and the team has done as a whole. It was a team effort but, again, there is so much stress and massive decisions to be made in a short period of time that it's not great enjoyment."
