I see your point here mate. The transfer window doesn't guarantee the buying team the sale of a player, even if this player was the main priority target signing. The selling team may offer you this players' services on a loan agreement only (even without an option to buy) to help you out or to benefit them to get him fit. If so, the so called, 'buying team' wouldn't spite themselves by not playing him as first choice selection would they? The buying team would simply take stock of the new assembled squad and select the strongest possible 11 from that squad, surely to God.
