Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
As I say there are exceptions, and ive asked my good friend about his sons other transfers and they were also completed some time before the transfer was announced.
The drama bit could have been worded better but that’s hardly the point I was making in this instance. Not sure why it’s gained so much traction really as I would have thought “ completed weeks before in most cases” was pretty obvious.
"Cardiff City failed to insure Emiliano Sala despite the transfer being completed weeks before" makes an interesting headline.
That’s an example of how sky are just hysterical about the window.
The guy who has just signed for Luton from Arsenal was known 4 weeks ago and was just announced Friday.
Again another mate of mine knows the MD and club secretary of Luton.
Yeah we all know sky go crazy on transfer deadline day, I haven't seen anyone argue against that.
But no one else thinks the clubs are working with sky and keeping back transfers just to add more drama. That's the bit that is nonsense. I think this has been pointed out about half a dozen times so far, by various people.

Of course they delay the unveiling of players , it’s simplistic P.R on the clubs part.

Let me get this straight. You think clubs would prefer to have the "PR" of announcing their player on the same day as loads of others, so they'll get much less time devoted to it than any other day, over having that player on the pitch for them earlier?
They would risk the player getting injured for their old club and having to cancel the transfer, just so it can go through on deadline day?
You are right, you really are an independent thinker

Just for once try and remove yourself from your message board bubble and think clearly. The crux of the debate is that most transfers are completed weeks before they are announced, there are probably a few exceptions and I can imagine January may be a bit more complicated but from what I’ve been told from the father of a professional footballer who has contacts within the game that is how it works.
If you think differently then that’s cool as well and you’re opinion is duly noted.

You are the only person saying this, so I might suggest that you are one who "thinks differently".

As I’ve said before, do you think posters care what the big hitters ( who appear to be aged between 50/60/70/80) think especially when the majority are anonymous. The sooner you realise the opinion of this board is very different and narrow to reality the better really.
As I say your opinion along with others is duly noted.

What are you talking about, you're just as anonymous as anyone else, and every single person who's replied to you has said you're talking nonsense

My cousin was a proffesional footballer who had premanent or loan moves in all 4 divisions including the Premier League. His son is now a proffesional footballer and has had a couple of moves himself. Never has either have them done a deal then delayed announcing it for a few weeks whilst the season has already started.
Youre talking through your rectum if you think Panzo was done and dusted weeks before deadline day. We have been crying out for another centre back all season.

Why have you decided to stick your nose in I seem to remember you from ***** board , being a shit stirring Humpty Dumpty , and you soon disappeared from there when you were called out for it.
How many more times…..FFS
I’ll stand by what I’ve been told by former club secretaries, and people who are involved within the professional game, hope that helps.
