I love competence...but it's so less exciting. “The January Transfer Window thread 2022 - Any other business?” “The January Transfer Window thread any other year - Any business at all?” Hey - it’s not 31st January 8.00pm yet - just wait and see. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I really struggle with the forced Scull laugh. best football podcasts Boro Breakdown - best Boro specific pod. Golazzo - has the Channel 4 music and James Richardson, amazing for anyone who likes Italian football - episodes have run dry. Second Tier Pod - championship specific pod, usually very good and everyone gets some coverage, although the Derby bias is starting to slip out a bit Ignore my Second Tier Pod recommendation - theyve just gone in two footed on Gibson calling him "pathetic", "petty" and a "bully". so that's the end of that" Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t be surprised though if there is still last day activity. Sometimes clubs insist on getting their other deals done before selling/buying your player or the one you want. Think Siliki could be a last minute deal by someone for example, trying to get him on the cheap and us wanting to get at least part of his wages off the books.. With what we have already done we can afford to be relaxed about it. Difference this year is that any more deals will be the icing on the cake, not a stale mouldy old cake itself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,402 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) That's massive news, changes things fundamentally for a lot of top clubs. Chelsea and the like especially. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Read earlier it's specifically for players over 21, so clubs can still loan out all their 300 18 year olds every year, they'll just have to sell them earlier in their career!

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It's so boring with boro having done their business early. There is no transfer sagas at all to discuss 2 Link to post Share on other sites

And that is the correct way to do it, it lets youth teams get players much needed experience. But will get rid of hoarding players! 👌 Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,442 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 In Chelsea's and other such hoarders cases maybe a few more players will get close to their potential by getting themselves clubs at a better place in the development curve. Link to post Share on other sites
