Yeah that is true, cant argue there

I don't see any purpose in restricting the trade period to just two days.
Just because fans are impatient for something to transpire there's no need to condense it all into 48-hour mad scramble. That might be entertaining for fans and the media but it doesn't help the clubs much.
They need time to carefully consider things and weigh up all their options before doing a deal rather than engaging in a race against the clock.

The un-footy educated dont understand how much actually goes into making a trade. It takes time to look at the salary cap, player list, player requirements re: shange in location etc etc
If it reduces to 2 days trades will not be done

Corrie's quite a speedy midfielder/forward albeit a little inconsistent. Still it's a very good value trade for the Pies.
