Days, not weeks to be honest. The window closes sooner than people think, we need to do some sort of activity in the near future
It closes on 8th August, over 2 months away...
Congratulations on stating the obvious. We were told we would be doing early business to work on the squad over pre season etc...nothing yet (ins or outs). It’s all well and good saying “it closes on 8th August” but the reality is we need to bring players in ASAP so they can work with the squad over the summer. It took our squad a good 5/6 weeks after the January window to reach its potential and gain results. We can’t afford another slow start to the season waiting for players to adapt
You know this isn't football manager and things don't just happen at the click of a button? I would expect work to be going on behind the scenes, the club isn't obligated to keep us mongs informed of every little thing they do.
Players, agents, admin staff go on holiday, football works slowly over the summer and there can be a domino effect on transfers.
Pre-season hasn't even started yet, so the players aren't even back together, they don't fly out to Spain until 7th July...
Added to this, there has been a grand total of ONE transfer completed for Championship clubs so far this summer... and that is Bristol City signing someone, there hasn't been any sales.
