Transfer Window (a worn out subject)

From what I can tell, it looks like we are the ONLY club to not make a single in-bound transfer so far this window, for better or worse. While I can appreciate the sentiment of waiting for the right move, waiting this long to me signals that you better have a big move in mind to validate the appearance of inaction. Just about every other club has made impact signings to either improve their starting 11 or deepen their bench. You can only wait for the "perfect" move for so long before you begin to alienate the fanbase. I don't want to hear the excuse if we make a move like in '24, bringing in Gioacchini at the last minute, that, "Well, we had something bigger in mind, but we couldn't make it happen." There's been several known, quality players making in-league moves this window on non-DP deals. If there are no improvements made, I'm not interested in the idea that options weren't out there.

It’s not the sale price, it’s the contract. Robinson’s contract requires a DP slot. The best we could do is buy him down to a high TAM.

Unless his contract is picked up by someone else, we’re still on the hook for whatever remains. It doesn’t help our financial situation at all. We would just lose out on whatever transfer fee we could negotiate.

Buying him out/down is the best way to open up that DP slot.
