Transfer Window

[Ding Dong !]

Is it still closed and if so when does it re-open.

Lots of players being released at the moment Can they be snapped up yet ? ( if any good of course )

 

[ditchy]

I believe it is open after the playoffs

 

[Captain Pugwash]

we can sign them on per-contract agreements*


* i may be very worng

 

[Seagullible]

Most players contacts actually run until then end of June or July. Clubs are allowed to talk to players who will be out of contract and set up a pre-contract agreement

 

[portslade seagull]

Or like us you can wait until the last day of the transfer window put loads of silly offers in and then end up signing no-one once again......

 

[Mendoza]

there is no transfer window as Woodgates move from Real Madrid to Middlesborough proved

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Yes - they wait until the last day. All contract offers during the window are accepted straightaway. Obviously sensible for a footballer to take the first offer, rather than waiting to see what he can get when the closing of the window is imminent.

I would scrap the window anyway - it is a restriction of trade and crap!

I'm surprised there hasn't been a legal challenge to it for that very reason. Unless there has of course and I missed it!

 

[Mr Burns]

You can transfer a player at any time of the year. It's just that they cannot play for their new club until the 'transfer window' opens.

 

[TSB]

If they've been released, they're free and therefore you can sign them immediately.

 

[Yorkie]

If we sign them now we have to pay them from now.
Sign them in August and save 3 months wages.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

If we sign them now we have to pay them from now.
Sign them in August and save 3 months wages.

And end up with dross

 

[Blackadder]

The transfer window for us will be open for one weekend in August. (Unless, we want to sell of course)
