Indeed but I wonder if we'd lose out on a player we want for the sake of a few days or a week before the papers are signed on some sales. I think we're bloated enough already for clubs to try to take advantage.I guess the more we bloat the squad, the less leverage we have trying to negotiate with buying clubs. We can't run the risk of getting too desperate to offload players, and having to accept bids massively below their market value, or still paying their wages while on loan just to get them out the club.
End of the day, as @Trix keeps stating, our budget is finite so we still need to maximise what we make on outgoings to allow us more flexibility on purchases.
