Why pay wages and NIC. for a month or two (May and June) when the players are not playing? Get them in for pre season.
When Tettey and Vrancic come off the payroll at the end of the month then it will free up a couple more slots on the payroll. It would be great if we could offload players such as Drimic, Leitner, Trybull and Klose who are costing alot of money.
Selling clubs may be waiting to see what bids they get rather than accept an early bid.
Euros, World Cups etc, usually cause what appears to be a quiet period.
I expect any free transfers to be signed near the end of June or early July as players will not want to be out of contract for long (BTW., yes please to Smith from AFC Bournemouth - good spot FC Bears. Got any more?).
Do you think we have been engaging in DOOMcaster style enquiries?
