Will the 1am deadline apply to Barnsley if they are signing Mc Burnie on loan from Swansea? The paperwork has to be completed by 11pm signed by all parties. I am aware this can happen between premiership clubs but does it apply to deals with championship clubs. Anyone know the answer to this?
Where did you get 1am from? It's midnight for most european clubs, but that is the central European timezone, so 11pm for us.
There is a video on the Sky Transfer Centre wall. It states paperwork has to be completed by 11pm but then there is an additional two hour window.
Plenty of other football league clubs have announced that they 'aren't done yet' also. I'd imagine it'll get done.
From the BBC website: 23:25 Deal sheets What's the deal with deal sheets? Here is the Premier League with a quick bit of insight... Sometimes it is not easy for clubs to get everything on a deal completed and sent over to the Premier League by the deadline. The deal sheet allows a club to confirm that a deal has been reached and to allow for additional time to submit the remaining documentation. The deal sheet cannot be used until two hours before the deadline and needs to arrive fully completed before the transfer window closes. Once the sheet arrives, clubs have an additional two hours after the window closes to submit the full paperwork. But if a club are looking to complete an international transfer, they still have to comply with the FIFA TMS of deadline of midnight.
