Take away the early part which doesn't matter too much? You mean where they got their players in early, got them used to their new surroundings and are ready to play in the opening match of the season, fully integrated?Take away the early part which doesn't matter too much at the end of the day and ask have we not done the same? Or at least close? Because for me we have but our window is rated differently
Come on, everybody would like to do business like they did this summer. We certainly would. Nobody, if they were being honest, wants to be piling in and buying/loaning a shed load of players on deadline day, as it's usually indicative of panic or incompetence.
We had a great last day/week, but I would've preferred all those we brought in to have been here 6 weeks ago or more.
