There are just 24-hours until the 2015-16 summer transfer window closes tomorrow at 6pm on Tuesday 1st September.
Instead of the usual 11pm deadline for the closure of the summer transfer window, it was moved to 6pm which for folks like me, means we won’t be up until the early hours of the morning waiting to see which transfers did get through and didn’t get through with all the stipulations and loopholes that seem to exist that allow players to be confirmed and registered what feels like three weeks after the deadline was supposedly shut.
So tonight Sky Sports won’t get as itchy a set of feet as should they still have their roving reporters out at training grounds, at 6pm they are unlikely to have to deal with as many beered up giggly idiots – or the associated marital aides – when humour stoops to levels of swearing on live television.
Ever a silver lining eh!
The deadline was moved to 1st September owing to 31st August being a Bank Holiday and League regulations stipulate that the deadline cannot fall on a non-working day.
This extra time also gives the likes of Sunderland additional time to agree a fee and personal details with Posh midfielder Marcus Maddison. Although no fee has yet been agreed, Maddison has travelled up to Sunderland today [Monday] to discuss personal terms!
Although Posh have already brought in attacking midfielder Chris Forrester, it is rumoured Posh have a former transfer target on their radar. There have been strong rumours that Posh are after winger Joe Lolley who chose to go to Huddersfield Town in January 2014 after turning Posh down. He has failed to build on the impressive form he showed while playing in the non-league for Kidderminster Harriers. Lolley has made just one substitutes appearance which came in the weekend defeat by QPR.
Don`t forget to vote in the following polls that are running at the time of print:
