not strictly true my friend, we have the January window as well, as STCC looks across the whole financial year to end of May 2017.

Yes I made a grave error in my first post, as you know I was curious as to the actual cut off point, with further research it would seem that clubs submit the projections on 1st March.

In the Premier League, any overspend is assessed during 'T' (with all clubs required to submit projected figures for the current season by 1 March). Because the current season hasn’t yet finished, this March submission includes a forecast for the financial loss (or profit) that the club expect to make during ‘T’ (i.e. this season). This March submission, also needs to include the actual figures for profit or loss that they made in the two previous season (T-1 and T-2). Total losses are therefore assessed over three seasons (T, T-1 and T-2).

Which would indicate if we don't spend big this week, we may go all out in January so it "doesn't go to waste" for a lack of better term?

It's certainly an option, and with a strong first 4 months of the season we may be better placed to add.

I personally would assume thats a plan b, but ive yet to see a manager plan his season on a January window.

Hey the way we are signing all the ANC players we might need a new team!

whilst true don't confuse STCC which is the limit on wage increases with P&S which looks at losses and accumulated losses over 3 year periods

I think there is always a gem to be had for 40-50m in January if you are prepared to spend. The Mata types who I am sure will be seeing bench time soon for example.

Yes I know its different things, but I see no reason why they would have 2 submission dates during a season, makes more "sense" to get all the information at the same time, of course its a massive assumption, I suppose I could read the Premier League rules to find a definite date, but meh.

I'm sure Stones will now be an England regular. What is like for like? I hope huff and puff continues in the same vein as his first few games.

Strip away the hype and it's a Championship player and a winger who has no end product. £32M thrown at that. Unreal.

Williams remains the only good bit of business since the window opened, and here we are now with 6 days until the window slams shut. In effect, we can kiss goodbye to anything being done between now and after the weekend as the Stoke game and its aftermath loom. Which leaves us with Monday through Wednesday to get deals sorted out.

Even if we did sort those out it's same old same old: a summer wasted trying to gel a team together and going into the first half of the season bedding in a handful of players.

I recall David believing that Stones was never a center back and that his best chance was to be played in midfield.

I still think that. And I still dont see him as a 'world class' defender. But others do - including, presumably, the club that sold him for a record fee. Yet there's been no success in going out and finding and signing replacements of that magnitude.

Gana is a class act, and I am sure you are hoping by May you will be eating your words

Did you exhaust all your optimism on Bobby Martinez?

 

[Blue Cheese]

I think people are to hung up on net spend. Net spend doesn't matter, improving the squad is what matters.

As an out there example- we sell McCarthy for £50m but sign Kante for free, we are +£50m but massively improved. Net spend is a myth.

EDIT : I posted this whilst reading quite a few p[ages back, I realise it looks well out of place in current conversations.

You're a blatant wum. Gueye has never played a Championship game and has been a top flight player his entire career since leaving the Lille youth team.

The dockside stadium is more important than any individual player, or any single transfer window.
