Sicario2 Not everything in the world is binary, this isn't an ebay auction where you have an option of buy it now. Some deals take time and some will drag on. Clubs want as much money as possible and there is always a possibility that someone else might become available. If by mid to end of July we are in this situation then it is time to get worried.
Sounds like we've got Zubimendi and Kepa done, striker situation is being dragged out by the selling clubs. LW I hope we aren't pinning all our hopes on Rodrygo and looking at other options seriously. Looks like we are trying to secure signing of Hato as well, which covers us for CB and LB. Partey is dragging his heels a bit so we might need to make a move for a CM. The club is active seems like they are on top of things, sometimes deals will just fall into place quickly. Sometimes the selling club want to secure a replacement before selling and you have to respect that.
Sicario2 It's really not hard to plan out you transfer targets during the season and secure them quickly imo.
I'm sure a lot of clubs think the same, reality is a bit different though 😉
