General transfer rumours

[not my fault!]

would we sell one of our irreplacable players on August 31st as with the current system? no!
Nor would we do it the day before the season starts if that was the cut-off. You have no argument mate, its just dates and planning.

Lol if we had a buy out on Aguero for say £60m then if Barca triggered it the day before we've no leg to stand on. It was argued in depth last week & they said they won't sanction window shutting weeks apart.

System in place would have to be a buy/or sell deadline.

Stupid idea
1. Simple scenario - us and PSG in fight for Mbappe - PSG just play long game, offer mega money to keep auction going... once our season starts we are out of the picture, they then drop price OR we are forced to pay much higher price as our hand is forced.
2. Post deadline day- A player becomes available in Europe that would strengthen any side. We are not able to bid. We are weakened by others strengthening.
Etc etc etc

It would be transfers between English clubs that would be unable to be completed once the season starts, European transfers wouldn't be affected.

What a relief. Needs to be done.

Something needs to be done imo, this whole window thing has done nothing other than create a drama around it all, it's become a circus led by sky. All this yellow tie yellow dress deadline day nonsense has become essential viewing for some people (usually those with a little too much time in their hands) dunno what the answer is though.

Thanks for clarification. Would English out to Europe be completed as well? If so the situation with Sanchez would put PSG in driving seat in the current situation

Lol, what if it happened in 2 weeks time on deadline day, exactly the same. No leg to stand on, no argument.

I think the majority within the game agree, that in an ideal world the window would close by the time the season kicks off.
However for the reasons discussed within this forum, it will only work if a worldwide or at least a European wide deal is reached.

Given the divisions that exist within UEFA, particularly in regards to the EPL, I think unfortunately we are some way off agreement on this issue.

Has to be a FIFA/UEFA-level decision, adhered to by all associations under the relevant footballing umbrella - so England, Spain, France, the whole lot.

Or just scrap it altogether.

We have to have as much time as possible so the rags can sell a shopping centre to buy a market stall.
