That as they say is the million dollar question........One of the reasons could be that often a manager cannot buy until they have sold to make the purchase they want. Others because they cannot buy until they have recieved clearance that a player has been sold before being given the go ahead to get another. That creates last day purchases because the manager didn't actually know he was going to be player or players short in his squad......that would be my suggestion.
Because in the beginning of the window, it's a seller's market. The teams with a player they want to unload (i.e. Puncheon) are asking for a bit of cash more than their asset is worth. If they can get a sucker to buy then great. As the window crawls to a close, those teams with an asset - usually the smaller teams who need the cash desperately - will start to drop their price in order to make sure they actually get something. Saints don't want to keep Puncheon around for another 4 months while he infects the locker room, so now that the window is about to close they will drop their price to something more reasonable. That's when the bigger clubs with cash to spend swoop in. It makes sense. There are obvious exceptions but that's a simple answer to your question.
Hey its the grammer police here, its spelt 'Transfers' i believe. Aha, sorry. Could'nt help myself ; ) Back to the topic....i think that Skysports just big it up. There is probably the same amount of transfers any other day than deadline day but its that there is more coverage on TV that day. I could be wrong and my other reason could be that people 'panic buy'. (might see about 4 or 5 go to Arsenal - Don't be surprised)
Stick your dikshorenary up your kybher...It was easy to understand, it's when tossers use text talk and and street lingo that gets on my tit's......
On the flip side though, some buyers become more desperate as the window gets closer to closing. Clubs may be happy to put in low bids to start with, but as the window closure gets ever nearer and they still haven't filled a position, they may be more inclined to pay more. Chelsea for example may well go back in with one final offer for Modric, one which is £5m+ more than previously, as time is running out and they still don't have him. As Matt correctly puts it (in my opinion any way), it's all about desperation - for sellers and/or buyers.
I always dread deadline day... crap for buyers because they end up overspending on a desperation player they don't really need, crap for sellers because they don't have time to replace anybody they let go. But at the same time, nice and entertaining provided other teams are active and your team isn't being ransacked for anybody who knows which way to kick a football.
sorry mate i was texting my grandad at the same time, and put it in by mistake. He asked for a cup of tea ( he likes it black with two sugars and a chocolate digestive)
