Southampton get their Championship wishes fulfilled with massive announcement..
Southampton have been awarded an extra ten-day transfer stretch for the coming transfer market, which Saints had been wishing to hear.
A couple of months ago, the Premier League came up with a genius plan for the summer transfer window. The first full-fledged Club World Cup is taking place in a month’s time, which means it’s going to be a seller’s transfer market this time around.
And for clubs like Southampton, every day spent on transfers is indeed a valuable day. Else, their present sporting ambitions risk getting compromised in favour of a bloated and underperforming squad.
That being said, it doesn’t take a difficult guess to admit that an extra transfer timeframe could do the Saints a world of good.
Southampton earn an extra ten-day transfer safety net from the Championship
Now, the best part is that Southampton have these wishes heard from the Championship itself. As pointed out by the Daily Echo, the Championship have officially announced the beginning of the first leg of the transfer window during the initial ten days of June.
In all honesty, the Saints don’t possess a roster that is reliable enough for them to get their Championship plans underway.
Thus, a flurry of new faces are required but here’s the risky part. Prioritizing incomings over outgoings is a recipe for a fresh transfer disaster in the making, and the sooner the Saints realize it the better.
After all, they can assemble their strongest squad during the Club World Cup when the biggest clubs will focus their attention on the on-field matters. Before that, lies the sweet spot to sell their prized assets and cash in a sizeable transfer warchest to then utilize in their later squad upgrade.
Clubs like Ipswich Town and Leicester will also be weighing up their top targets and so will the rest of the Championship top-half. Hence, speed and timing could be Southampton’s biggest strength to leapfrog their competitors and emerge transfer winners over the summer.
