Hardly surprising really What with the transfer window being closed. It'd be like me going to shop when it's shut.
Teams will still be negotiating now, surely? I strongly doubt everyone waits to contact clubs until the window officially opens. In fact, I know they don't. Howard's a goner this summer. Not a doubt.
Doesn't stop other teams though mate. Chelsea already made their first signing. Seems like Earnshaw might not be too far off a move too.
