How are we supposed to concentrate on our work when we're checking for any news of signings every 5 minutes; our collective productivity must absolutely nose-dive during the last week of January (and the first week of August).
Quite possibly all of these, in which case, we would be engaged in massive team rebuilding exercise, and in turn probably languish mid-table (or worse) until the right players had been brought in and had gelled.
