Surely this decision has to be a mistake by the clubs and the FA. Especially seeing that other countries transfer windows close month end. What where the clubs and FA thinking.
It was a brainfart of an idea.Surely this decision has to be a mistake by the clubs and the FA. Especially seeing that other countries transfer windows close month end. What where the clubs and FA thinking.
So great news with our best player having 3 more weeks for Barca to turn his head and no replacement. What where they thinking.It was a brainfart of an idea.
I think there was a vote and the majority voted for the idea. UTD apparently voted against.
You do realise that the club do have to accept a bid before that happens, right? Which is just not going to happen. Simmer down.So great news with our best player having 3 more weeks for Barca to turn his head and no replacement. What where they thinking.
Yep, on with the show....more drama till septemberSo great news with our best player having 3 more weeks for Barca to turn his head and no replacement. What where they thinking.
I do release that but Paul got in a little hissy fit last season and was dropped for Scott. Now what is he going to be playing like if we decide to refuse an offer when he could of been playing in Barcelona. Its pointless to keep a player that does not want to be here especially a French one.You do realise that the club do have to accept a bid before that happens, right?

They really must have as without this it was an idiotic decision to handicap the PL against the rest of Europe.I think the English clubs expected the rest of Europe to follow suit. They didn't, so it looks questionable now, especially in a WC year.
We've already allegedly refused an offer. I think he'll play just fine, but you're the expert.I do release that but Paul got in a little hissy fit last season and was dropped for Scott.

Utd wont sell simple as that!So great news with our best player having 3 more weeks for Barca to turn his head and no replacement. What where they thinking.
Yeah but the only way to avoid that is to convince other leagues to follow the English example. There is no way to legislate for that unilaterally from England.It's a good idea in theory however
1- implementing it during a WC year was a massive oversight
2- non English clubs shouldn't still be able to bid for our players once our window has shut. Barca's Pogba interest a prime reason why as while you would hope Thursday would see an end to the rumours it actually wont until August 31st
Why? How does it negatively impact English clubs?Surely this decision has to be a mistake by the clubs and the FA. Especially seeing that other countries transfer windows close month end. What where the clubs and FA thinking.
This could be put to bed with a single tweet by Pogba. Detest players who happily flirt away with other clubsSo great news with our best player having 3 more weeks for Barca to turn his head and no replacement. What where they thinking.
Other leagues won't follow our decision, because they know it is a ridiculously silly decision, which can put all clubs of that country at a disadvantage.Yeah but the only way to avoid that is to convince other leagues to follow the English example.

That still happens when the deadline is 31st August.It does seem to put English clubs at a disadvantage.
I think it was designed to help the “smaller” Premier League clubs so that they know what squad they’re going into the season with. But I’m not sure it really even does that - e.g. you could imagine a situation where we buy Maguire on deadline day, then suddenly Leicester are left scrambling for any old CB or facing half a season without one.
Exactly, it doesn't. No clubs will be selling first team players after the window closes - not one single club. It just won't happen.Why? How does it negatively impact English clubs?
That's a bit contradictory. It is difficult for smaller clubs to block transfers of their best players when bigger clubs come calling, which I thought was the point you were making in the first sentence.I think people are being selfish as it is not all about the Premier League - there are another 72 league clubs who this will be a benefit for.
If a club doesnt want to sell a player say no - whats so difficult?
