What possible benefit can be achieved by waiting until the last day of a Transfer Window to try to buy players?
I just don't get it!
If we are the highly organised professional establishment that most of our club activities suggest, then what exactly are we doing going anywhere near this kind of thing.
All our player trading should be well thought out and enacted at the 1st viable opportunity. Why has it taken over 30 days of this window to suddenly start the pursuit of 2 Porto players. Was it not apparent, that whatever need we appeared to be attempting to satisfy today existed back on Jan 1st?
Personally I will be chuffed if we sign nobody as any last minute deal can only be considered ill conceived, and as such plainly has the potential to go wrong. My disappointment will be the fact that we even got involved in the first place.
In short, all transfer activity should be carried out in a timely and planned manner, as was seen in the summer. Doing so clearly pays dividends.
