Transfer window

[Alex Cheeseright]

Will we sign anyone on June 10th and if so who?

 

[FTPE]

Why the 10th?

 

[Scarebus]

Why the 10th?

Because the window opens on the 14th, that's why.

 

[Booker4]

When we got promoted last time our first signing didn't arrive till the 4th of July or thereabouts. That was Luke Freeman. I think with us more likely to sign free agents this summer, at least one or two, then maybe we'll sign someone before then but I wouldn't expect much business before July I wouldn't imagine. Business is slow this time of year in any pre-season, at least there isn't a Euro's or World Cup as that can slow things down because top clubs want to make sure their players come back fit etc.

I thought it was the 10th...whoops nvm

That's our 'retained list meltdown day'.

 

[Mouth of the South]

That's our 'retained list meltdown day'.

Haven't some on here already celebrated that day (several times!)?

 

[BobblesBlade]

I’d wait for the big news on the 9th.

Yeah you're right, it's more like a festival than a day then.
It can last weeks, months even.
But, it does peak on the 10th.

 

[Tarqs]

I'm not too fussed about the 10th, we need to have 3 signings before the 16th though as I go on holidays then.

 

[ancientblade]

most footballers are on holiday in june cant see much activity before the 1st july

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

15th is a big day or is it the 22nd ? Its Prem fixtures release day,and I read today Luton want to be away for the first three fixtures.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

That's our 'retained list meltdown day'.

I knew that day was important..

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

So Wilder knows who he Wants to bring in. Supposedly. So, tomorrow should be our first signing? Right? Or is he full of excrement? Or........are we going to get the take over excuses?

 

[Grizzly blade]

Anyone expecting the completion of a signing in June never mind tomorrow is being overly optimistic in my view.

I’d be surprised if we have 2 in by the time the players rock up for pre season. And not just because we have recently been notoriously slow at getting signings completed, but it is very likely the takeover will still be rumbling on with the uncertainty that brings hampering our beleaguered board of idiots even further than their own stupidity had before that.

By preseason I’m going with 4

0 signings 3/1
1 signing 2/1
2 signings 6/4
3 signings 4/1
4 signings 6/1

I love an outsider me

Pessimistic or realistic? It's the same!!

 

[BalticBlade]

Right, the transfer window has been open for 8 hours and 29 minutes now and we still haven't signed anyone. Prince and Bettis ahhhht!

Perhaps not the most important issue, but it should be considered that the club would of course be liable for the salaries as soon as players are signed. Taking the example of the rumoured max salary of £15k/week - that would be an obligation of £60k per player (+ other employer costs) signed before they even report back for training.
Would the OP be happy to pay the army of signing they're demanding that much to sit on a beach?

What if they’re signed with a start date of when they report back? I’ve never started getting paid from contract signing, but from the start date stipulated on the contract. Granted, I’m not a professional footballer.

Perhaps and more likely for those players not currently under contract. A tougher ask for those players currently contracted at other clubs - why would anyone agree to forego a month's (or more) salary?

Careful B58, Gin&Juice will hold your feet to the fire!

That'd be the case for free transfers, finishing a contract elsewhere. Presumably end of June for UK based players.

Cheer up lad!

..because they are paid so much, the odd few thousand doesn’t matter too much ?

 

[tincan]

If the Google's are genuine, then surely they want success and the PL, ASAP. 10 £30k pw players for a season will be £16m.Seems reasonable for the potential £300m rewards.

But it’s not Google. If the rumour is true it’s just one exec who’s joined a consortium.
Google couldn’t give a fuck.

To be fair, even the most bed wetting posters, those with Saharan volumes of sand spewing from their quaking vaginas, are being overly optimistic in your view.
