Saudi clubs having even longer to mop up players / unsettle. Won’t last long, be a one year and done thing again. Best bet is you get enough top leagues agree it, and you force FIFA hand to adjust windows around the world a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Old school but I do miss the window being open all season and closing in March. I mean the chronicle had us bidding for different players every other day... The likes of Ryder and Hope could never cope making up that many stories a week!

Sibierski Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Mbuemo has started season on form. Probably can see this summer being the one Brentford cash in for maximum value. Do people feel we should get him? RW but also reliable 2nd striker option too? Give's flexibility to bring in a young rough diamond RW too possibly.

gbandit Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Yes, shame his value will be extortionate. We should probably look for someone who’s not the finished article yet as we can’t really afford to go stupid in the market currently but in terms of a player whose profile fits us, he’s perfect for the right side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) I really don’t know what we’ll do with RW, will be next summer anyway I guess. Could be a younger option if we continued with Barnes/Gordon out wide. Edited September 30 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Personally I like having transfer activity over and done with at a certain date. Having to worry about selling your best players at any point is mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers made more sense, as in you could tell what your squad needed and then make that addition. Even if they won't revert to that system.. because they probably won't. Maybe give each the club the opportunity to have 1 wild card transfer in and 1 out. It would certainly make things interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Having the top clubs that are struggling for form in February/March hovering up the top players from the rest of the league as a short term fix would be absolute cancer. Clubs are already free to open negotiations with any club and player at any time, it's just their registration that can't be transferred until the window is open.

It would also allow struggling clubs to generate funds for financial safety or refresh their squad options. Some clubs live to develop and sell players to bigger clubs, it's part of their philosophy (Brighton) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs live to develop and sell players to bigger clubs, it's part of their philosophy (Brighton) Not only that but say for a club that found themselves in the situation we did last year, being able to address an obvious shortcoming in the squad that was going to derail an entire season. I think that would bring about a bit of stability to a majority of clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s to stop big clubs unsettling players every week causing absolute chaos ahead of certain fixture. Liverpool could go in for AG weeks leading up to playing us then just sack it off for example. You might laugh and think ridiculous but it’s the Wild West. Clubs will do anything. Window should be closed before pre-season and re-open after last game of the season including any Cup Finals. No January window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a fan of Mbuemo and could see the logic and how his style would fit along with his work ethos. Then I started to think would we really of advanced the position that much for such a huge fee. It would’ve took a lot of money to improve the RW marginally with Mbuemo rather than what would feel like a giant leap when we tried at least to tempt Olise for what would’ve been a similar fee. So without turning my nose up at him I definitely changed my thinking on him. Especially when our budget is so tight.

I think Mbeumo is more than a marginal improvement, maybe not Olise levels but not too far off and way better than what we have. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/vergleich/spielervergleich/statistik/def/spieler/413039&566723 Edited September 30 by SAK Added link to stats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the only debate. The margin of improvement he’d be to the side. Knowing Brentford have lost Toney and his replacement still out injured (I think?) and Wissa recently injured and notoriously good sellers you’ve got to ask yourself is there bigger upgrades for less money elsewhere.

You’re right about could we get the same level of improvement for less as Brentford will want a premium for him. Up to us to decide if that premium (proven PL performer) v talent proven in foreign leagues but with no guarantees of adapting is worth it. As has been mentioned in the Guehi thread money’s tight and we can’t afford to take the hit on a dud so paying a premium for a proven player may be more sensible.

andycap Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 The good thing about a constantly open window is if someone did get one of your big players off you. You'd have plenty of time to bring someone in to replace them. Same with injuries like botman we could go get a makeshift loan so your season doesn't die.
