I would be surprised if we haven't already done deals, both those coming in and those going out.
Probably at least one player coming in has been done.
I doubt we'd already finished deals for players leaving, except for maybe Sinclair which could explain why he isn't playing.
I reckon a few players know their times up hence the drop in form at Southampton. A few players have been deemed not good enough/surplus and dressing rooms deflated a bit.
We will have drawn up a plan for next year. We will have a list of players who we are willing to let go and we will have a list if players to bring in. Firstly agents are approached to sound out deals and sort out wage requests and fees etc. We will have also told players to get their agents looking for moves and they will already have a few options. I know for a fact that Lescotts been approached by both Everton and Newcastle.
I reckon the summer will have already been sorted by end of March. Might be a few changes/surprises come end of season but the plan will have already been finalised and executed. The only biggie is a face for the Nike deal. A statement of intent signing. A Ronaldo/Neymar player, that's the complicated one.
