Because it's not all just down to us. Players making sure they take the best decision, Agents trying to squeeze every last penny, Selling clubs making sure they have replacements in place etc etc. Transfers are hugely complicated and its should not be underestimated just how much work goes into getting a player that has options.

This rings very true especially when most of our sales are probably taking a step down....one thing though, do we always have our replacements in place when we are selling? Always seems a bit of a panic in the end.

That's a fair point. Cheers for the info though mate, always highly appreciated.

I don't believe we have ever been close to being as organised as we are now, but I'd say in most instances yes. The big one that I'm sure will be mentioned will be the Berbatov situation, but I believe Levy was left between a rock and a hard place at the last minute by Ramos regarding this monumental balls up.

48 hours is close to becoming a 'thing' this window isn't it?

Let's see if ITK is more accurate than media, which it hopefully will be.

I'm confident on the outs at least.

Well if Grey Fox ITK update is right then it seems like being in Germany is a good place to announce Werner as a done deal.

Surely we fly out to Munich today, in which case I don't see anything happening on the incoming front before the end of the week.

After such a relaxing weekend, I'd just like to say thanks for the next 48 hours of emotional rollercoaster rides we're going to go on because of that post, happy Monday is more like Monday Meltdown in our world.

The squad can be away, it's not the players or coaches that do the deals, so it all can still be sorted while we are away.

Wonder if we're delaying announcing departures (Ade and Bobby) until we're a bit more confident that replacements will sign. Having only one first-team striker and millions of pounds burning a hole in Daniel's pocket wont put him in a strong bargaining position for any potential incomings.

They will all be in Germany, we are heavily linked to German players, the weather is better there... :whistle:

Soldado, maybe maybe not. Delaying Adebayor? Don't really see who'd be interested in that.

Well if it's German based players we are going for ..... then it could be a good place to be?
