Aye. I caught that bit too. Karanka has said before that there is a lot to transfers.
The days of getting in a car Clough style and saying, "Sign this." are over.
You have the domino effect of waiting on Premier teams building out replacements before letting even 3rd or 4th choice players go? Haggling over fees. Wages. Bidding wars. Other teams getting wind of it. Due diligence on character, injuries....track record, sounding out players...dealing with agents...sell on fees, appearance clauses...promotion bonuses etc.
