Some of these issues are beyond the club's control, we can only work within the systems.
I get frustrated when players that would improve us move to other Prem teams. The reality is, we could well have been in for them, but European football and being in
London seem to trump our current position. Our job is to sign the best players available to us.
It's also not unusual for clubs to hang on to players until they've gone through European qualifiers, then they sell and their budget improves for the season ahead.
From a buyer's point of view, we also save millions on player wages by waiting until the end of the window. More to come in, and we can ignore some of the names being banded about.

Most of these so called professional footballers can't play 1 game a week, so I agree the European thing is a load of crap. Most want to be top earners and sitting on the bench, no fight in this generation of players, it's getting worse each year.
