Can I ask a few questions Ed? First I read a dodgy article on the BBC this morning about how Man City HAVE complied with all EUFA fair play rules. The end of this article said we paid nothing to City for the loan of wee Paddy. I thought we paid at least 2.5 million. Second, do you think our transfer deadline will change if the EPL does? Lastly, have you heard anything about the supposed homophobic banner the Huns are planning?

{Ed007's Note - I don't know what's on the BBC but according to someone at City who spoke to ESPN, Celtic didn't pay any loan fee for Roberts and we aren't paying any his wages.
Why would we change our window just because England is? And I read about the banner on James Forrest's blog but I've no idea if it's true or not.}

Rumoured other big leagues fancy it to and they want to get eufa to bring it in.

{Ed007's Note - And until that happens, if it happens, why would we do it just because the EPL, not even the whole of England, have?}

Maybe a good thing if we adopted it. Get some players signed and up to speed before the crucial qualifiers for the champions league?

Maybe really good for us if we don't adopt it think of all the young players who will find out they aren't in they're clubs plans early and in time for us to swoop.

Personally, I am all for it and it means that teams start the season having done the deals BEFORE kick off. But it has to be UEFA members wide or it will give some leagues an advantage.
I also believe that any player refusing to play (turn-up) because they are trying to force a club's hand to sell them should receive a minimum 6 month ban to ensure contracts actually mean something. Signing a 3-5 year contract is a commitment and just because Barcelona or Man Utd come in does not mean you have a right to spit out the dummy and demand to be released.
While I am dipping in to the realms of fantasy, SFA should strip rangers titles and declare the new club playing at ibrokes exactly what it is. NEW.
