to have a full fixture list? How are the key people meant to close a deal if you have game. CH is in the midlands today and has a match tomorrow for example, makes me feel that the xfer window is a coupla days short (well one day short, wont count today), but that is surely our window and others closed now

I know a lot of people don't like him but Sam Allardice spoke out strongly about this yesterday on Sky.

it not normal, as normally the last day of the month falls on a non-fixture day. its the same for all clubs so really, and with the real people behind deals (club executives, agents) not involved in playing, i dont think it likley to make much difference.

So you're not including the managers as being important in transfer deals? It's pretty understandable if a player would like to meet with the manager before committing their future to a club.

And it's not the same for all clubs, as not all clubs play on the day, and half of those that do will be playing at home, so can easily meet with prospective players at their facilities.

Didn't the summer one close on a day when International fixtures were happening? It is a bit mental, how are you supposed to get a deal and medical completed if the player/manager is not at their own club?

It happened a few years ago during our first season at the Amex.. I believe we were at Palace away in January? 1-1 Barnes (pen)?

It was the same last year with Championship fixtures played on 31st January, a Tuesday.

We were scheduled to play Huddersfield that night, but our game was moved to Thursday, meaning we weren't otherwise distracted on the big day.

No such distraction for 6 PL teams who play tonight.

One of the reasons (probably) that the Vincent Janssen deal didn't go through was that it was being negotiated whilst he was on the pitch for Holland at the time. Last Deadline Day was in middle of a set of international fixtures.

I really don't think that's the case.

I suspect that if Janssen hadn't been playing that night the deal wouldn't have got as far as it did, because he would have had the chance to say "Brighton? **** off!" earlier than he did.

PS: He's had a right old miserable time on loan at Fenerbache

Can’t help but think now with Ulloa on loan we dodged a bullet with Janssen. He is proper dog shit.

But, but, but the clubs transfer policy is based on months of hard work and background checks, not just calling around after tea seeing who can play.

Bottom of the barrel after our first six targets fell through

It's a shame nobody thought to check the barrel until the Countdown Clock was just about to sound BBBOOOOOWWWWWWW.

not for such a last minute deal. there's plenty of time through the window to arrange a meet up.

I quite like him but (that aside) what did he have to say?

He was saying he had complained about teams playing on deadline day and how could teams name a playing squad when some might be open to moves to other clubs. basically said premier league had ignored comments from teams ,but of course he was talking about Everton as any manager would. If it had been CH with same comments all would have been in agreement
