At a guess?why would u limit yourself for the last 2 wks of the transfer window. there will be less targets & selling clubs will know times ticking & u are pretty desperate for their player.
also they miss out on bedding in & a few important matches.
the only plus side us if a player wants out & the club want him shifted too. in which case they will be desperate to sell. but that is a very small % of transfers.
To wait for bigger fish to jump out of the metaphorical transfer pond, and make sure that we get reasonable deals on players rather than trying to rush deals through.
Frustrating to watch? Certainly.
But I understand why it's how a club of our means chooses to operate.
