Summer 2022 Transfer Window

Wonder what made us pull the plug there?

World Cup surely, especially after the game last weekend was postponed.

We've got nine league games, and nine weeks, before the break (assuming the game isn't rescheduled this side of it) and the winter window opens. Bringing in anyone now who hasn't had a preseason then it's going to probably take them half that time just to get up to match fitness. With Costa our need for another striker was so urgent that even if we only have him for 4-5 of those pre-WC games it's worth it, but we'd have to be extraordinarily unlucky to end up as desperate for another CB this side of January.

To be fair it's 12 games (Liverpool will be way later in the season now).

We're down to play on Boxing Day and New Year's Eve, and any new signing won't be able to play on 2nd Jan either when we have another game.

It's around a third of the season. I don't particularly have a problem with playing Toti, but the manager said he did. Obviously I hope he isn't our manager by Christmas Day.
 
I'd still absolutely take Bonatini in Charlotte.
 
Can't go anywhere now. If we paid up his contract this afternoon then he can't sign for anyone else as he was still registered as our player on 2nd Sep. No move until January.
 
Spiers reckons Adama could have gone to Ajax last month and chose not to. Doesn't say what kind of fee was involved.
 
I'd have had to phone the stadium with a slightly different bomb threat every fortnight. I can't have that.

Would be a ridiculous amount of admin but worth it.
