Am really liking this delay in our transfer window over Europe, basically we get free shot at any outgoing European players if the big clubs in Europe can't get a deal done by tonight.

(Think a certain Belgian CDM being chased by a big Italian club....see player thread)

Tuesday will be hunting season for PL clubs across Europe....

Quick thought; if Europe closes tonight, doesn't that leave us with only home based signings as options tomorrow? Meaning if we still need players from here then, the selling clubs can push their prices up even further, knowing they have us over a barrel? Not trying to be pessimistic, just wondering?

It means European clubs can't sign anyone after tonight, but we can sign players from Europe.

No, it only affects incoming signings in Europe, not out......hence our free shot.

No UK clubs can still sign anyone. Deadline is for Clubs, not players.

Tomorrow we can buy from Europe, but not sell to Europe. So we should be alright.

We can still sign from Europe tomorrow, those countries are unable to bring players in.
