Deadline day has slammed shut. For many clubs there was jubilation as they managed to sign that final missing piece of the jigsaw, or at the very least stopped another club from taking their prized jigsaw piece (I’m looking at you Crystal Palace). For others it was a much more miserable affair. I have firsthand experience of that as a Leeds fan.
Regardless of how you feel, the transfers are done. Billions have been spent and the squads are now set until January, with the exception of free transfers. And if you need something to fill the time until Football Manager 2026 arrives, you can download a database with the latest transfers included. So which options are out there and how do you download and use them? Follow me and I’ll show you.If you think I’ve missed a key transfer update, send me a message and I can add it in once I’ve verified it.
