Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[in exile]

Even if the takeover isn't 100% surely we've gotta to start to strengthen now, Club has sky money, sponsor money etc?

But no transfer window.

Transfer window opens today

Thought it was 1st July? As an aside we officially ceased to be a PL club yesterday

I thought it was 1st July also.

Contracts run July to July, but there's nothing stopping anyone from agreeing transfer fees and terms whenever they want.

I was going by something I saw in the side bar on Sky Sports News HQ a couple of weeks ago. The date stuck in my mind as its my birthday
Sorry if my info is wrong

Agreed but until a player is registered (which I think coincides with a players contract starting), they can always change their mind.

I think Scotland's opens today.

Ah, that would make sense, thank you

The transfer window does open today. not just in Scotland.

Deals can be done anytime. I think it's just that you can register a new player for next season until 1st July. On the rare occasion where I've known what was going on in a transfer deal, it opens your eyes as to just how far behind the media (even social media) with what's actually happening behind the scenes. It wouldn't surprise me if a number of deals, in and out, were already agreed in principle but a long way off being official.

I'm confused. According to wiki it opens in Scotland today and England on 1st July, and that date is supported by Talkshite , an (albeit old) article in The Mirror , and the Meaning Evil among others, but according to Sky and, more importantly, the Bristol Post , it's today. So for absolute clarity I went onto the official Premier League site, where it definitively states the window opens 'soon'.   Don't think I'll lose any sleep over it but it would be nice to know

It seems to me that every year somebody moans that we haven't bought anybody, then a few people pipe up that the transfer window isn't even open until such and such a date, 'so stop moaning'. It then follows that there are about two dozen transfers by other clubs before said official opening date.

we're unlikely to do any business until Dr X is officially the new owner surely?

As long they are ready in time for pre season training and their missus can find a home and schools for kids in time for new school year. Rather than join us on last day of August.

How many clubs get all their business done before pre-season starts? As Percy says, there's the same conversation each window and probably on every other club's forum too. The majority of deals get done during the course of pre-season at a gradual pace and then there's a flurry of activity at the end of the window, probably because of agents.

Shit load of links to myhill today

Meh

[ozzjim]

Solid keeper.  Would be a decent signing.

I don't rate him at all.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Nor me. He's OK nothing more, rather play bunn
