It's not just 3 teams is it? you can conduct transfers now just there aren't any competitive fixtures for little bit, Koeman has made a point of wanting signings in Early but board won't deliver until we sell I suspect.
Dahoud,Seb Haller,Dominik Kohr, John Brooks, Musacchio, Marcel Gaus, Max Gomez, Pascal Gross, Kessie, Tilemans, Cornelius, Taider, Helander,Farago, Milenkovic,Cristoforo,Olivera,Hilkemark,Ganz,Benatia,Sule,Rudy,Juan Jesus, Bruno Fernandes, Lyanco Vanja Savic. are the notable ones.
Loads more+even more if you want to count the ones who was loaned and transfer negotiated in last few weeks. There are even clubs like Florentina who have signed 4+ players already.
Why are you absolving the negotiation team of blame? if we was taken over by rich owners like Milan we'd see action I bet
They've already signed Kessie, Musacchino and Rodriguez looks nailed on. But we get excuses and penny pinching until we sell first.
The transfer team Martyn Glover who followed fat sam around most of his career brokering dodgy deals in addition with Mickey Walsh steve's brother and the fact Kenwright and Elstone will never be removed. Whole thing stinks. Could easily be as bad as last summer while fans like you make excuses for them doing nothing in last few months. Manager had to throw his toys out of pram to even sign Morgan mate.
