I'm sure there's been a few cases in the past where deals have been agreed, contracts exchanged etc but medicals haven't been done till the day after the deadline.
Injury risk !!!!
You know it'll be an accidental collision with Miggy, broken Femurs, tibias, wrists, collar bones, lost teeth then Covid in Hospital and a tight groin.
From what I remember our scouting system even under Ashley was pretty good. Found some decent players especially in Europe t the syart of their carwers I'd never heard of, problem was we wouldn't pay the going rate for them.
Fair points. I do think it's important though for everyone to know how much game time is left, for it not to be arbitrary and for actual game time not to be wasted through legitimate things.
