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 ?
