Do you mean why does it not slam shut before the season starts? It used to, but clubs lobbied the FA/PL to bring it in line with European windows. They were slamming after ours had been slammed. so say isak became available last week, we wouldn’t have been able to buy him as the window had already been slammed. But some European club could buy him. There is always talk of changing our window to match our season start but clubs still think it will disadvantage them. No idea if/why European teams like there window to slam after the season has started though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cant be that difficuilt to find a month or so to allign them so theres a gap between them so the transfer window shuts before the seasons start.

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Maddison and, depending on how Watford's campaign is going, JP. Got a feeling Leicester are going to replace Rodgers with an absolute div and JMadz will be hating life by the turn of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Wonder if we’ll be adding to our scouting department in future. Both for the first team and the youth. Be great if we could start getting the likes of Haaland, M’bappè etc before they become stars and have to pay extortionate prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I recall the main real reason being that European leagues who voluntarily operated transfer windows for years prior were upset that British teams gained an advantage on them and wanted to bring us into line.

Pedro possibly especially if Watford falter in the promotion attempt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I would imagine the list will be something along the lines of: Diaby or Harrison Maddison João Pedro Ashby and that's it. Edited September 2, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I can definitely see them going back for Pedro. He offers something different and brings the age down of the side again. Maddison I'm not so sure we would - depends on how Leicester do this season, I think we accelerated interest due to Shelvey's injury - but he would be back in January. It would be great as I rate him. Ashby is a good idea - Manquillo would be replaced. Diaby might happen if they are out of Europe by then. It's interesting, PIF/board seem very impressive, disciplined and controlled. Not going to blow their load, but every window a solid 80-100M on 2, 3 or 4 players. That is steady intelligent progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
