Why is it especially with Everton, the transfer deals are not done until its virtually too late.
If you can buy a new car from 1st Jan as an example why would you wait till the 31 st to purchase it.
You could have had 4 weeks use of it by then . We need to secure deals early so as to help with the present slide and the injury to Bolasie .
Any thoughts?

In the past, we certainly had to do late deals because of the club's financial limitations.
In the Summer, we weren't as active as we'd have liked, but RK and SW didn't join until partway through the pre-season.
For January, I agree that we should have deals already being put in place now and just because they're not being confirmed ahead of time is no reason to be concerned.
However, if the deals aren't confirmed early on in the window, then I'll start to express concern.
Mind you, a last-minute deal for a special player wouldn't be that terrible as long as the rest of the deals have been done and dusted early on.

Are you moaning about transfers 21 days before thd window is even open? Utter madness.

I'd also like to think we're ahead of the game, especially as it's the January window. But in saying that there is a certain excitement about a last minute deal for someone completely unexpected.

Bluejohnuns, i think the moaning is because of our record in the window and our recent form. Yes 3 weeks till window opens but be nice if we get players in early. If the window was closing sooner they would all be in earlier so why wait!

If we were going to a shop and buying something off the shelf then yes the 1st of the month we would be there at 9am for when the shop opened.

However, we are trying to buy a player from a team that doesn't want to sell and therefore if we want them there is going to be negotiation after negotiation. It is not our fault what happens when buying a player and it is totally out of our control.

Fans always blame the wrong people, always.
