I totally agree. However, I have to smile that when we read about who we might be interested in we tend to think it is gospel.

I don't, because Southampton is often the club they tag on to the end. They don't want to say only Arsenal (insert club name) want a certain player, so they add on Southampton. This happened a lot last season when an agent in Europe was pimping a player.

Me neither. And I don't care if we're the first club mentioned or the last. A club can't put an offer in until a transfer window opens and it's just as likely to be knocked back anyhow. That's exactly the same for transfers in or out.

Incidentally, when does the transfer window open this summer..? Date please.
 
I'm betting most teams are scouting and considering players, but won't make offers until the end of the season. This will be delayed further by the WC...don't want to buy someone who does his cartilages badly.

On the other hand, you do want to buy them before they perform well in front of the world and their value skyrockets.

You can put an offer in anytime you like, and it can be accepted, personal terms agreed, etc. It's just the transfer of the player's registration that can't happen outside the window.

And I believe it opens the day after the season ends.
 
Anything on incomings?

Or new contracts? i.e Cork, Poch etc.?

As I said on the last match day thread(I think?) I can see Pochettino signing a contract in the off season and Saints make a big thing about it. Pochettino and Saints have already talked and so have Saints and Cork.

Heard nothing of incomings apart from a few teams we have scouted.

So waiting until the summer is BS then? I don't know what to believe anymore!

Thanks.

Typically, I knew I'd get the last answer, hence the date please request. I wanted to be the lazy one for once. :)

Q&A

When does the transfer window open and close?

There are two transfer windows in each Barclays Premier League season.

The first commences at midnight on the last day of the season and ends on 31 August if a working day - or, if not, on the first working day thereafter, at a time determined by the Board.

The second transfer window commences at midnight on the 31 December and ends on the 31 January if a working day, and again, if not, on the first working day thereafter, at a time determined by the Board.

Temporary transfers can be made permanent outside of the transfer windows
