The fact that we're seemingly unable to complete transfers that we've already agreed could suggest a transfer embargo due to the Chinese interest in the club. We want to get our business in so that we have players to come straight into pre-season training for the start, not during.
I'd say due to the factors above, people are probably justified in panicking and wondering just a bit. It's yet another transfer window where our signings are clearly being held-up due to Ashley and Charnley's incompetence.
