Yep, understood. But again I would say, isn't that a conclusion for Sept 1? You're definitely speaking as if this window has run it's course, when it's barely started.
Personally I feel like it's been much different this time round - Xhaka signed super early, Asano signed (even though he's not one for this season), we attempted the same with Vardy but didn't quite get him, through no fault of our own at all. And it seems we're very active in the market right now, trying to get our deals done asap. Usually at this time of year all we're hearing is "everything happens late in the window" or "we are not close to signing anybody".
If we get to the end of this window with no more signings, then I'll agree with you for sure, but not right now.
