I don't think it's a lot different for the "teams that compete each year", but if it is it's likely to be due to factors like them being able to throw money around to get signings early & the fact that they can guarantee CL football.

We've signed 3 players already, which suggests we're trying to do our business early & I'm sure we'd have done more if it was straightforward. But given we can't compete financially or offer CL to hasten matters along the reality is we'll have to wait in the pack until things start to unravel towards the end of the window.

Think that's a function of how the window works for a club in our position rather than a situation of our own making.

So for the past 2/3 weeks we've been linked with Werner of Stuttgart, he's hardly a household name playing for an elite team, more of a prospect playing for a lesser German club. You telling me that we couldn't have done what it takes to get him to the club in time for him to bed in for a bit & be ready to back Kane up, what with Soldado & Ade leaving the club ?

We're not big spenders, are not going to realistically buy worldies until the stadium is paid for, but Timo flipping Werner should be tied up already.......surely ?

JJ has told us that we should all be pleased with our transfers by the end of the window. That's ITK and he hasn't said anything different since.

That's enough to keep me sane and intrigued about who we will buy. (Not going to start guessing A&C) so surely it is better to sit back and see what happens instead of making huge assumptions about our transfer policy.

Err...you can understand it from the start of the season in a few days?... Whatever the arguments either way I think most people could see the 'last minute' as the moment before we actually start playing games for points?
Nope not for me, I watched football over forty years before the window idea started, nothing wrong with bringing players in during the season, if most people can't take that then they need to grow a pair.
We are getting good ITK we ought to be optimistic, I am.

What bit don't you get? What happens if HE is unsure. Or his agent is saying WAIT.

Would you rather we didn't get him?

this surely is done base on GF. Frustrated to play Man U with only Harry as lone striker.

Oh what a nasty shock when I read Harry as lone striker, Redknapp sprang to mind, I thought I was over that nightmare. Oh well back into rehab!
