Would the Transfer Window Shutting Early Suit Us?

With the English transfer window shutting at the start of their season, the teams are now forced to sign the players they actually need and not wait a few games to see how their lineup performs. If our window shut at the same time as theirs, surely we would be in a better position to tackle Europe as we would be forced to get players in before the third qualifying round.

However, on the flip side, it would also give our board less time to replace players like Tierney and would also mean we wouldn't even have the scraps from England to 'salvage' our window if all * breaks loose.

Personally, I think our window shutting at the same time as England would only be positive as it would mean the board couldn't gamble on qualification before making signings and would either have to sign players or leave them.

To me, this extra two or three weeks is detrimental to us as we never seem to do anything anyway and anyone we do usually sign could probably have been signed a month before.

Thoughts?

 

No difference going by these efforts, save us all staining our peepers every couple hours

 

Transfer window not even opening would probably suit us better.

 

The English transfer window closing so early is hurting us. Now we lose the players to the EPL before our qualifiers, whereas we used to be able to hold onto them until after our fate had been decided.

Not sure that when our one closes has made any difference. Our board is gonna do whatever it's gonna do, irrelevant of the date. I thought it might be really useful to us, but since we don't seem to be interested in markets outside the uk, it doesn't matter...

 

We’ve signed players from France, Belgium and Israel this window...

EDIT:Sorry, we signed Boli from Austria.

 

Be great for the board to have more excuses. “We really tried but ran out of time”

 

Someone should tell Lawwell it's still open

 

Sanity wise … YES !

 

Weve scouted england so much hes forgot were no part of it and can still sign players.

 

I think it would just create more excuses, like @CookieMonster pointed out.

 

Nah Big Fraser on his way back. Possibly fallowed by that big sexy Armstrong fella anaw. Leave it how it is.

 

Nope.

Nothing to stop us actually having a coherent plan in place prior the window opening and implementing it immediately upon opening. We could make our own in-club ‘deadline’ if we really wanted to, but ultimately we’ve demonstrated time and time again a lack of forward planning when it comes to replacing quality.

 

open all year or shut after a week....it would not change how we sign players....long slow and rock bottom.

 

Would suit lawell down to a T lol.

 

* transfers, who needs transfers nowadays.

Just bag some freebies and loans of hoarders like city and psg that'll do us.
