It might be like Burns/Millar where we string them out through the day, but yeah a triple announcement would be fun.

must be tomorrow, as the team flies out at around 12pm uk time

if any of the 3 are on the flight, then xd
pretty sure hughes will be
but no way he starts already
youd think macca goes when hughes starts
but i wouldnt be surprised if its jones for no reason, than surprises happen
 
it seems szmodics might end up at ipswich
talk about a championship supersquad for 25/26 if they go down
ipswich will absolutely boss the championship for 25/26

Everyone always says this, the same was said about Huddersfield when they went up and bought a ton of top end Championship players, same with Luton last season. I guess TWT with Luton but haven't got off to the best start.

Hutchinson, Greaves, Delap, and now Szmodics for Ipswich in terms of players who had strong Championship seasons last year.

I'd say it's pretty comparable. Could throw in Muric although obviously he played PL last season, but I'm not sure it's as wildly different as you're making out. Luton focussed more on midfield and defence with their signings than attackers.

I'd love to know the actual reason these signings take so long.

I know all the clichés; there's a lot that goes into a transfer, medicals etc, it's not like Football Manager, and so on. But on deadline day deals get done within a day out of nowhere. So why is it that when it's not deadline day it takes so long to get a transfer done? I understand that sometimes the selling club might want to leave it until the end of the window or until they've signed replacements. But in the case of Hughes for example, how can it take so long to finalise after a fee has been agreed, when the fee was supposedly the one thing holding it up for the last few weeks? Presumably at least one party for some reason must be holding it up to some extent, but I can't imagine why that'd be in anybody's interest. Surely Hughes will be desperate to get it done as soon as possible, with every extra day he can train with us being valuable to his prospects of being in the team as soon as possible, and surely we'd want that too. Can't imagine how delaying it would benefit Wigan at this point. So again, even allowing for all the clichés about it not being simple, I'd love to know what it is specifically that holds these deals up, and why they're able to fast-track it when they really need to.

It's like any negotiation, when minds are focused it happens quickly. I've never really understood why it takes so long to agree transfer fees. Both sides will know what they want to achieve and I believe that in a meeting of a couple of hours, you'll be able to come to a broad agreement if there's a desire to get a deal done. Clubs seem to be happy to wait though and see if they can achieve a better price as the summer progresses.

The German league seems to work a lot more efficiently than ours. We seem to build for a mad rush Deadline Day week.

They’re all done and trained on Thursday. Be interesting to see who’s thrown in on Saturday because I suspect Walter isn’t the shy type to not do it. Zambrano is in mid season fitness and Hughes has had a preseason. Not sure about Burstow
