As is tradition.
I'm going July 24th.

August 9th and there will be meltdowns at the delay.
Before… we sign an entirely different player in an different position and it turns out we were never interested in the original player and it was just that player’s agent using us to drum up interest in their client after we were offered the player and decline earlier in the window.I'm already picturing a dragged out transfer, lots of updates about details remaining, then 'no announcement this Friday but possibly early next week'. Followed by multiple delays before it's eventually announced on Weds/Thurs that next week.
I like this tradition. Good threadAs is tradition.

5 days time. Bold.
July 1
It'll be announced before, but that's when it'll be officially completed
I was about to say the same. Not expecting any business until late July at least.August 9th and there will be meltdowns at the delay.
There is almost zero chance we get any transfers done in June I think. We need time to assess the squad, look at options etc., we have only recently confirmed our coach for next season.If we fail to secure at least one significant signing before the end of June, it would certainly raise concerns for me.
How long will it take to assess the needs of our squad for next season before making summer signings? In just a few minutes, I can evaluate what areas require strengthening.There is almost zero chance we get any transfers done in June I think.

Identify players, weigh what their value is, assess them with the manager… it will take time.How long will it take to assess the needs of our squad for next season before making summer signings? In just a few minutes, I can evaluate what areas require strengthening.![]()
I understand your point, but INEOS must address the issue of delays and avoid making last-minute signings to allow for better team chemistry building during pre-season.Identify players, weigh what their value is, assess them with the manager… it will take time.
