It’s because Premier League clubs had to submit their accounts prior to 31/12/23. There is little room for overspending in January now for most teams. I was trying to calculate Bournemouth’s situation, they have splashed millions in the last few years. Teams like plucky have little to no head room left. This window might turn into a big opportunity to get ahead of our competitors with a few more high value deals.Considering we've had a few managerial changes since August I'm shocked at how quiet this window has been for premier league sides
So, now that Barco is official, next question is where is Mazilu?
21 year old Jack Hinchy out on loan to L1 Shrewsbury Town for rest of season . No news of contract extension ? His contract runs out end of June 2024. (i think)
that makes our loans
