Im sure if Moyes had money the moment the season ended our business would have been done by now. You cant do summer business early if you have ****all to spend.
 
It's obvious what is going on.

Naismith on a free was time-sensitive so we had to move ASAP.

Pienaar was the same, he was desperate on a move but he had other options.

The fact is that we're delaying until as close to the end of August as possible to save ourselves a months wages on each player we sign.

Which, to be fair, makes financial sense as say we sign three players on £50k a week with the Rodwell money, you're saving yourself £600k over a month.

But in a footballing sense it's pure suicide - unfortunately, we can't afford to play it any other way.

I can't blame Moyes for the way transfers work. Agents are reluctant to conclude deals early too as they can get a premium on or just before transfer deadline day, and clubs can get a premium on the transfer fee of contracted players. Which is why 80-90% of all summer transfers are done in the last 48 hours.

Yes, I know all this.

Im not even sure Moist could do it different and the wages savings as you say are immense for Clubs like ours.

It just pees me off, but your right, theres no way round it.

Possibly. But I think the Owen thing is dragging on (not just for us, if you believe what is written here) because of his ridiculous wage demands. They are bound to come down the longer he is on the market.

TL;DR

We haven't signed anyone, no kenwright statement. Shut up everyone.

To be fair, you dont have a press conference every player, certainly they dont rush it to have it on the same day of signing them. Doesnt mean a whole lot.

Hope it isnt true though. Fact LCAB siad it looks certain is painful.
