The window

It was a little bit of a surprise, as he one of those wingers who can get you out of your seat, however Chris Davies demands concentration at all times along with reliability. Maybe the young fella' will be able to learn those attributes whilst he is away on loan......if not?
 
To be honest for me he needs match experience. He’s young doesn’t speak the language and I don’t think as yet he’s an improvement over the exciting miyoshi who was more rounded
 
I liked Myoshi too, he was a good footballer however he was bossed around in the championship by stronger players which was unfortunate for him and us. KRO
 
I've been seeing reports that Sampsted is now a Blues player. Any confirmation on this? Nothing from the club that I have seen.
 
I have seen reports that there was a clause inserted in the loan agreement that if blues avoided relegation the option to buy would be activated, we are now mathematically safe from relegation.
Like you I have not seen anything from the club though
 
Just looking into the opening of the window. Looks like there will be two windows from the 1st to the 10th of June. Then opens again from the 16th to the 1st of September. Not sure if this is Premiership only due to the Club World Cup. Can't find anything on the Championship.

Why is this happening?​

Firstly, to bring order to the global registration system, world governing body Fifa only permits the transfer window in any individual country to be open for 16 weeks in any calendar year.

In Europe, precedent dictates four of those weeks are for the winter window, leaving 12 in the summer. In 2024, the Premier League transfer window opened on 14 June and closed on 30 August.

However, in October, Fifa approved an additional window from 1-10 June that would allow the 32 clubs competing in the Club World Cup to register new players before the tournament.

It also agreed to open a registration window mid-tournament, from 27 June and 3 July, to allow clubs to register additional players for the knockout stage.

As well as Manchester City and Chelsea, European heavyweights Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus, Paris St-Germain, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal are among others playing in the tournament.

In order to ensure Manchester City and Chelsea did not have an advantage over the other 18 top-flight clubs, the Premier League has adopted the same window.

However, 12 weeks from 1 June is 24 August. The Premier League wanted to be aligned with the rest of Europe's big leagues around when the summer window closes. Those leagues preferred to close the window at the end of August, so that meant the window had to close and reopen.
