Yes the date is right, but from that article
You can bet clubs will be talking over deals for weeks before but nothing can be done officially until Sunday, January 1.
Given that it’s a weekend, don’t expect too much activity until everyone rolls back into the office on the Monday.
So nobody is at the FA to register a player today, and tomorrow is a bank holiday, so the earliest a deal can be done is Tuesday?

I wonder if it will be a last day signing for us. If so another 30 days to wait

I've seen players signed today via Twitter so it seems you can register them.
Blue Valkyrie
Not seen such Bravery!
Glenn Murray on a full transfer ?
Another striker to replace Elvis ?
Midfield reinforcement to cover Ince's legal distractions ?
Papa Lazarou
Living in a De Zerbi wonderland
I'd wait and see where we are after the end of the season.
Definitely - he was meant to be our 4th striker, but wasn't good enough. We need cover for Baldock.
Yes, but won't be a front line / first choice player. Will be 4th / 5th choice behind Stephens / Kayal / Sidwell / Norwood.

Will JFC move on today ?
Or perhaps there will be some SINGING at the albion ?

Im probably being a bit thick here but....
Why do we need to sign Murray permanently in this window?
We have him on loan until the end of the season, Bournemouth confirmed he cannot be recalled, he cannot be signed by anyone else whilst contracted to us and we are only paying a percentage of his wages, so why do we need to sign him now?
Surely agree a deal now where we buy him end of season but not immediately?

Maybe think about what Glenn wants?
If our top scorer who is on target for 30 league goals wants to sign a permanent contract, we should oblige. Remember the last time he wanted to sign a contract? We made a mistake that probably cost us 3 or 4 years of Premier League football.

Bang on
Why? Your assumption here is that we have better things to do with the money this would cost.
Firstly not many transfers these days result in pre-payment of the entire fee.
Secondly rule one applies if your worried this would materially decrease our spending ability for other targets this window.
Thirdly I'm sure we're not cash heavy ATM nor are we receiving an awesome rate of interest on said cash therefore enabling us to earn a yield equivalent to our contribution to Glenn's wages whilst on loan
And fourthly as others have mentioned why risk giving someone else time to turn Glenn's head with a more lucrative offer by not securing him permanently now?

Thanks for the comments
As previously suggested we could do an agreement now to sign him at the end of the season I just dont understand the need to make it permanent right now
Yes I am suggesting we may need money elsewhere, we all know we need another striker, even if it is only cover, we also know the club has committed very heavily and that any cash saved will be very useful right now. No i am not referring to FFP as I know we have complied but just in general any cash saved is a good thing.

Unlikely we'd save any money either way as any transferral of the wage costs from AFCB to us will undoubtedly be reflected in the purchase price agreed. There is no downside to securing Glenn permanently now.
