But the Deliverance types on here keep crying about Txiki.

They can't all be wrong, can they?
I do not subscribe to the "we are moving too slow" hysteria. That said, players on holiday seems an unsatisfactory excuse in my opinion. Because byhere is the obvious question one can ask, are the players for other teams "who are strengthening whil moving out their surplus players" not on holidays? Since they are too. It's unconvincing to say we are moving slow because of holidays that don't seem to affect other teams.

We are moving slow because we have different constraints than other teams. Sounds a better answer to me.

Yeah, people being on holiday (players, DoFs and moneymen) is the most ridiculous and unbelievable reasoning.

Assuming clubs jsut schedule further talks for 9am the next morning as well. Getting space in a CEO/CFO levels diary is a nightmare
 
I wonder how will the academy, and English football in general, adapt to no longer having " foreign" footballers in them
e.g. The 4 lads we sold to Southampton last season, Lavia, Bazunu, Edozie, Larios would not have been able to have played for our academy in the current rules.
It will get worse

There are restrictions on U21 foreign players signed by premier league clubs too.

"Clubs will be limited to signing no more than three overseas players under the age of 21 in any single transfer window and a total of no more than six per season"

Here's where we sit TODAY! (before people start theorising on potentials).

1 space.
The disappointing thing about that table is that for all the successes of our Academy - we still run three light on the Club Trained players. We need at least one those still on the B-List to be a regular player by the time he turns 22 and we need one or two of those Buy Backs to come to fruition to give us more flexibility in squad re-building.
