Its was just an ideal world scenario admittedly but I'd really like us going into those games after Man City having done most of our deals. I understand that one or two could well come in late into the window. I do agree though, the transfer window does kind of make the late shopping inevitable
I said the majority, you can't always get everyone in you want, when you want. I just don't want to see us needing 3 players with just a few weeks left in the window for example
As much as it is vital we add to our strike force I feel it is equally vital we get a large majority of our signings in before the 1st fixture. If we do too many late transfer window deals we have missed a chunk of our winnable points start to the season we've been handed (Man City aside)
