I think you might find in future windows, if TW project is working, then maybe more German players might be sort. Maybe TW doesn't want to many at the start, relying initial more on proven players in this country.
If TW and the brain team identify a player who fits the system then nationality becomes irrelevant. I think we just need players who can do a job and the January transfer window could be like last season. If we're mid table and safe then stay as we are but if we do exceed current expectations and are around the play offs then some of these loans coming in could be ended earlier to allow us to bring in even better players
 
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.

I thought we did that so the Scottish idiot, 'Jim whathisname' of sky (formerly?) and Talksport had a show.
 
Players like Delap are exactly the reason why they'll continue to do it. £15m+ 5 add-ons for a kid who scored 8 goals (I know there's loads to his game) but that fee is still insane.

You can supposedly get Tammy Abraham for £25m this summer, off a nasty injury, but even so.

Disagree. In today's world, I don't think it's an insane fee at all.
Players with his attributes aren't easy to come by, and he will only improve further.
It's just a pity we didn't have the money and weren't in a position to sign him.
 
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
I think they might do ok in the PL.
Smart signings so far, and no doubt a few more to come.
Even Townsend as LB cover for £0.4m is damn clever business. They've certainly got something special going on there, on and off the pitch.
