Summer transfer window 2017

[Ryo]

I guess F&M know a good 'supply'/creative/attacking midfield signing is not really available in May or June, a late August kind of deal somewhere, Fabregas, Isco type may be. As for having money left for that, who knows lol.

That and the fact that other teams will be more desperate to sell near late August, especially for players with one year or less on their contract (meaning they'll walk for free in winter/next summer) who haven't reached a renewal agreement. 
Prices will have to be lowered so that those clubs can walk away with some sort of compensation. That's why most deals tend to be at the end of the window and not before that (unless the buying team have unlimited resources of course...)

The only issue with us is that we need to have 80% of our team ready before July because of our Europa League obligations. To be fair our management have done quite the job in negotiating our transfers so far. Not only have we managed to pay well below what we were expected for most of our transfers, but we also managed to pull them off so early, which is not really the norm.
