Why are we making bids for players on either the last day or penultimate day of the transfer window? Is it indicative of a completely scattergun approach by our so called 'scouting dept' or is it a cynical attempt by the club to make us believe that they are bidding for high profile targets knowing full well that the selling club will reject the bid because they don't have time to find a replacement. It probabably isn't helped either by the fact that the bids are usually derisory.
