Yeah guess the odd released player or championship out of contract signing, but anything significant will be in July, as you’d hope anyone worth signing would be out in Germany! Imagine McKenna will be out there also. |  |

Exactly, you can't register a player and of course you can't complete the deal, but you'd imagine that a fair few deals are going to be ready to go. Not necessarily us, but across the league you will see a fair few signings imminently. We are probably after quite a few players who aren't at the Euros. Of course sometimes clubs want to bring in a player who is at the Euros before they allow other players to leave. Hutchinson is not at the Euros! We could sign Williams on a free and we could bring in Sarmiento. Of course certain players you would have to have a lot of things lining up. We have to want them to come in, they would want to come here, their club must be willing to let them go and we must agree a fee. There are also a few clubs who need to sell before the end of the month to balance the books, so that is another reason to expect some movement before the Euros are finished. I would expect a flurry of activity at the start of the window, another spike after the Euros and then again near deadline day. |  | |  |
I assume no signings until after the Euros? on 09:53 - Jun 8 with 3853 views | lizzibee | I suspect a few are already lined up ready to go. They wont have waited til the window opens to start discussions. I'd have hoped discussions on Omari and Sarmiento (loan) have been going on and Omari isn't involved in Euros. I think we'll see a few...ideally need to get them in early to start working with the team and get embedded in the set up and how we play |  | |  |

My suspicion is Phil will report on at least one link next week. My heart is saying that link will be Sessegnon |  |

So you're saying that Leif, Sam, other members of our fine squad + all other non-European-born players at all clubs aren't quality then ... |  |

"I would expect a flurry of activity at the start of the window, another spike after the Euros and then again near deadline day." Not sure why you'd think that. The first two weeks of the window are notoriously slow, there were only 6 Premier League signings in the first 16 days of the window last season, In the last Euros year, there were none in the Prem for nearly two weeks. |  |

Doesn't it all depend on the mood of the market ? A few significant deals and then all teams will be looking to hoover up the best players available before a shortage of supply sees fees sky rocket. On the other hand, your suggestion may have traction if the appetite for signings at any cost does not materialise and the market is testy until the week before deadline day. But what is different this summer is that a number of clubs have to, in theory, sell players to keep within the rules. And then there is the madness of signing a player in August and not getting them up to speed until October. I'm hoping Ashton and McKenna can get their business done early at keen prices and then spend the rest of July and the opening weeks of August getting the team to, dare I say it, gel.

Pogba was bought by Man Utd after excelling for 90 million, but he only seemed to do it for France and never remotely showed his worth for Man Utd. I think you have to be very careful about buying players off the back of these competitions. |  | |  |

Its not 'my suggestion' its what happens, there is very little movement in the opening weeks of the summer window, its much longer than the January window, and clubs can afford to wait. You've only got to look back to almost every single window on here, with the endless posts asking why we haven't signed anyone yet. |  |

Because a lot of players will be out of contract and have deals lined up ready to be registered. Not necessarily in the premier league or for us. |  | |  |

I'm going back a few years but Bobby Robson signed Brian Hamilton from Linfield for a bargain £25000 on the back of Hamilton having an excellent Home Nations tournament in 1971 and what a great signing he turned out to be! |  | |  |

Signings post-tournament are often hugely overpriced and the success rate has been very poor. I suspect we know our targets. Obviously if players we weren't expected to sign come into consideration we'll still consider those too. |  | |  |

Maybe not with a 6 teams being forced to sell in the next couple of weeks so think there'll be some movement at ITFC soon. Welcome back Omari Hutchinson. |  |
