Have we ever signed a player when the club were away on an overseas pre season tour??? Yes I know that deals can be negotiated with all the technology available these days, however a lot of times deals get done when people get together in a room to thrash out the details
Looking at some of the videos it does seem that most from the club board are out in Oz. Levy, Cullen, Caplehorn are there..... Munn still hasn't started, still no DoF that could be finalising deals. The media team will be out there, club doctor and most of the physios too
So I would be surprised if anything happens regarding transfers until the squad and staff return from the tour. Obviously after the 3 games Ange will have more leverage with Levy to quicken the purchase of new players if we've performed badly and he will have a clearer idea of who he wants to keep and get rid of too.
Enjoy the games and forget about transfers until they all return me thinks
