He has 1 year left on contract the death throes started years ago. its just the AKB's that have dragged it out for so long . the club is a joke and the manager is acting like Captain Mainwaring
We finished second last season. Saved a bundle of money on transfers. Two or three big players in the summer, some of it paid with the money we saved last season, and we could have taken it this year. The competition isn't that great.
Instead August takes us by surprise as usual and there we are with an injury crisis and a fitness crisis the first week of the season.
Yesterday I was living la vie douce in France, old chap.Quote:

It is also worth noting that by doing business this late if at all have put an extra 10 to 15 pc on the fee vs where the pound is against the euro than if we had done deals at the end of the season
We got lucky? So? We got unlucky quite a few times before. We could and maybe should have won it. But probably a top notch striker and centre-half alone might have made the difference.
Too late now and there will now be a panic buy, costing more than it would have earlier for the reasons you point out and because the transfer window approaches its end.
