I'd love someone who is outraged by all this to answer a couple of questions.
1) Why does it MATTER whether we sign players on June 4th, July 4th or August 4th? Surely it's all about getting the right players, and just like in-demand players won't commit to clubs early, good clubs shouldn't be settling for second best this early. If we've barely made a move by August 9th then kick off. It's not like we've got a game and points to play for tomorrow, so why the rush?
2) Can anyone who is seemingly outraged by our lack of activity possibly justify why they are getting worked up about second division football on July 4th, when the World Cup is in full swing and there is a PLETHORA of summer activities/events to be enjoying instead?
1. I know alot of people do seem to be very annoyed at our lack of activity and for whatever reason that is idk, but the fact that possibly for the 10th or so window running we've had a manager come out, say he desperately needs players by X date, only for absolutely nothing to happen probably does annoy alot of people. It's like when you get told a delivery day when ordering online, and you get a 3 day window like this time from Tuesday when it was said to Friday, and it doesn't show up. You're disappointed and eventually you get bored with the same old drivel spun out time in time out. The post claims 'Royal Mails fault' and the mail claims 'Senders Fault' or 'Unknown mix up'. The club claims agents of players fault and the player and agents claims clubs fault, and we still don't have the center half and goalkeeper that were badly wanted by today apparently.
2. Again, I'm not one of the outraged, I'm just a bit bored/disappointed with the same old stuff said to the press about players coming in by X date and not. But you do realise that club football and international football/Wimbledon/Festivals/Holidays can run side by side yes? Also, given England are already out it's quite natural for the fans to turn back to club activities, especially when the club is giving big deal deadlines in regards to kits etc.
