“Premier League clubs have voted to change the summer transfer window to bring it in line with the rest of Europe.”

Probably because clubs were worried that they were getting ripped off and couldn’t compete properly in the window with the rest of Europe. Opinions?

Better for us as fans but worse for the clubs imo. Apparently they banked in the rest of Europe changing their windows too which rather hilariously didn’t happen.

Doesn’t seem to have had a negative effect on English football though...

More weeks of media fueled transfer speculation? No thanks. I don't see the disadvantage for English clubs in the window being that significant anyway had they carried on with it

It does mean when we get 2 promoted teams and Bournemouth first 3 games and contrive to lose them all we can panic and spend a fortune on bobbins on the 31st August.

Makes no difference when Marcel Brands is here. We will sign players last minute.com anyway. Just that date will change.

Mate?

Mate?

He needs to change my mind. I’m very unimpressed by this feller. Him rushing around trying to sign a winger and getting Iwobi in last minute concerns me.

Unless Iwobi was everything his manager wanted and needed at the time.

Oh come on, people cant honestly think he decided last minute to sign Alex Iwobi?

Transfers are normally built up over a period of months.

If he was going off Marcos ideas he should be in the bin right now.

Smalling plays for Roma and Rojo plays for Estudiantes, we explored those options after we lost out on Zouma last minute but clearly we considered both utter tosh and swerved them.

Decent pizzas aswell mate. It’s a date.

In all honesty I get your point and I also like Iwobi but a lot of his deals have happened late in the window which bothers me.
