I would have taken a couple of more "ins", but we may still get one or two on loan.

Best thing about this window...

Mark hughes doesn't have a job and we spent over 15 million. Lack of ambition eh? Hah.

I would suggest, the BEST thing about this window... Was that we managed to avoid the bogey prize that is Cameron Jerome and Carlton Cole!

.... Also the window is slam shut now, which means no more loans either. Only free agents can move and emergency loans (which basically means keepers only).

I think a few clubs will pay some players off and we will see a few more free agents appear over the next couple of weeks.

They'll only be able to move though if they were free agents before 11pm yesterday. Anyone subsequently released would have to wait until January 1st.

i'm not so sure on that, as long as they are a free agent they can be signed.What if a club sacks a player, are you telling me he will not be able to get a job anywhere else, that can't be legal.
I'm willing to stand corrected if its in the FA rules somewhere.

I'm pretty sure I'm right but can't be bothered to check the rulebook.

Everything about the transfer and registration system to some extent is restraint of trade but the transfer window wouldn't work if club A could cancel a contract and allow club B to sign that player.

We could, for example, cancel Andy Johnson's contract with him paying us £2M as compensation and then he signs for Leicester getting a £2M signing on fee.

I need to work but I'm knackered as I was up all night waiting, in vain, for SSN to confirm the Ruiz transfer.

I hate to say it but I spent all day yesterday on here and watching Sky, but at 10:45PM I'd had enough and went to bed thinking we had fecked it all up, only to find this morning all is well in the Fulham house.
