Does Deadline day lead to panic signings?
There are several arguments that deadline day leads to panic
signings as shown by the failed transfers of Andy Carroll and Fernando Torres
for inflated fees. Having said that there is a lot of evidence of smart
business being done on such a hectic day with Christian Benteke and Hugo Lloris
both being signed at excellent value last season. This shows the varying
statistics of success between deadline day signings and signings before the
last day of the window.

There weren’t as many deadline day signings as usual last
year, so maybe the stats are slightly unreliable, nonetheless, there seems to
be a trend that the better signings are made before deadline day and a number
of deadline day signings can be seen as evidence of panic buying, namely the
Scott Sinclair transfer to Manchester City followed by Roberto Mancini using
him sparingly.
