It worries me why the club take so long to finalise deals, the keeper had his medical on Sunday and terms were already agreed, but still nothing confirmed, whereas most other clubs seem to be interested one day and pictures of player in their new strip the next, it just worries me lol |  | | |

How many years have Gamechanger been here and still people don't understand that deals take time to get over the line, modern player trading is very complicated. |  |

Add to that, from a marketing perspective, timing is important as well. |  |

Exactly. For all we know some of these deals are already done and the player is being flown down to film some videos. | |

I understand all of that, I'm just saying as long as they're not confirmed I'll worry that something will go wrong or another club gazumps us, especially on somebody like Diop | | | |

I'm not a sports lawyer but having worked with lawyers in other circumstances I presume that terms being agreed does not necessarily mean the contract is agreed. There is still a process for those terms to be turned into a formal contract and the usual process of arguing over minor points of legalese before everything can be signed, sealed and delivered. | | | |

Does this happen at other clubs or do you just follow Ipswich with a micro-attention and anxiety that you don't other clubs? I doubt very much we are exceptional in process. |  |

Your problem, not ours.
Sorry, if that sounds unkind, it is not meant that way. Transfers take time, once verbally agreed, still need to get player to the club, do medical, sort out legal paperwork, get it all signed, complete signing interviews and videos etc.
The club are working on multiple deals, not just the five we know about, and you can only go so fast. We could plausibly go into our first open to public friendly with eight new signings. Eight. | | | |

I think they have all been waiting for the end of the WC.
Then all the clubs (like us) in the EPL will have a go. Then, further on when we know who we are getting, some of ours can be released/loaned/sold.
This on the basis that you dont get rid of your old coat until the new one is hanging up. |  | | |

You realise a medical isn't some dude in a white coat cupping his balls and asking him to cough right?
You're talking about reviewing previous medical records,mri, ultrasound, x-rays, cts, heart and lung testing, checking every single joint, blood tests, piss tests.
That alone can take best part of a day, then anything, I mean anything that has even the slightest concern means a second opinion may be required, any issues then can affect the price, the length of contract, the club then having to adjust insurance.
We're not talking about buying a £20k car and a quick look on the internet at its history for a crash, we're talking about a rare one off race cars with limited availability of parts costing millions.
Whilst a medical can take a day, the results can mean nothing is signed off for a few days.
That's not to say sometimes it does, but even a reserve goalie costing a few mill needs careful attention and it's wise to follow the same procedures.
Anyway, worry away my friend. |  | | |

I think the key word in what you say is 'seem'! Because we follow Town closely we see and hear the progress of a deal. Do we/you do the same with other clubs? I certainly dont, so it 'seems' to me that they just get things done - when in reality they are probably just the same as us. |  |

It's not?
I now have my doubts that the chap at work that claimed he was a doctor performing some health tests isn't genuine then . . . I did wonder why he was doing it in the photocopy room. |  | | |

I don't doubt that you are spot on there, and I probably care about this too much, and I know it's my problem as someone pointed out, but I can't help the way I am lol | | | |

So long as the contract is signed, is all that matters. The announcement is simply decoration for the fans.
For that matter - and particularly with overseas hires - the negotiation and legal process may be going on in their location, or remotely. Medicals can take place at facilities other than in Ipswich. Once the deal is secured, it might be necessary to get the player to Portman Road for the photographs, interview, etc., before the full media reveal can be dropped. |  |

To announce a concert for example (same process as a football player) can take weeks and weeks, the deals may well be confirmed but the marketing and getting everyone to agree then creating the marketing assets for each format / sizing takes a while. I assume these players at this level have branding and image rights as well to consider and build in to the process.
I am sure people are working hard BTS to get everything tip top. |  | | |

Fatawu was in London yesterday, having being in Ghana on Saturday, so you'd imagine that he and KVO will be first to be announced. Probably KVO first. |  |

Sounds like we are going to be very busy this week now agents and players are "back" as it were.
Not sure how the media team will do it, but I'd be surprised if it's not more than 3 in the next couple of days. |  |

Probably a bad analogy for a summer transfer window, as you won't need a new coat until the winter... |  |
